    Problem still exists. Nice Fix, too bad it didn't fix anything.

    Let's see... I think I received a triple-stipend in April... so I won't get May or June. I'll give it another month or so.

    But again, how hard would it be to simply tell us, on our account page, our next stipend date? The only reason not to that I can think of is that this system is truly not automated at all... and that's just silly.

    Now my sub went inactive again...guess not getting my stipend was the lesser of the issue. :\

    I'm a lifer and I usually get my 500 monthly zen on the 15th of every month. It is now the 16th and I have not received my monthly zen. Did they change how that system works? Whatever happened, I would like to know where that 500zen is.

    You might've got a couple of extra stipends a few months back, by accident. I guess they were tinkering with one thing or another, it fired off two rounds of stipends on some people, a week apart. Stipends are pretty quiet, and Cryptic seems to have made no real effort to inform people of this, nor of the solution, mention of which can be found in a thread at the top of this forum, but yeah... Bad form. Whatever.

    What they should've done was fired off two form PMs to people. Can be read on the forum, and shows up in the ingame mail. One for the people who got one stipend too many, and one for the people who got two, to let them know this. (Clearly they know who got what, else, how would they know who to withhold from?)

    Or give us a transaction sheet already, so we can figure it out ourselves.

    Only been requested since 2010.

    My account went inactive for the second tome in 2 weeks, still waiting on a reply to my ticket from when it happened the first time.

    Not happy about the loss of EC from sales due to the drop in EC limit and it is just getting to be a pain.

    Have, resubscribed for the 3rd time in 2 weeks and will see how long it lasts this time.

    All I know is I've not gotten this month or last month stipend. I've sent in a ticket and they just closed it and didn't answer anything.

    THIS

    We are talking about a real world money issue here. The fact we are getting the silent treatment - or denial that there is an issue, is pretty serious.

    I understand things happen and its not always an easy fix when you are on a shoe string budget. But just a statement: "We know things are broken, we are working on it. We'll get everything worked out, no worries" is all I want to hear right now.

    I was wondering if anybody else's stipend is late this month...
    I did get two stipends in April, one for that month and a few days later another one for May. That was the last stipend I got and the one for June is about a week late now... Anybody else with the same problem?

    This! Clarity in these money transactions is a must and for gold and lifetime subscribers this is a money transaction.

    This is NOT fixed.... I didn't even notice it as a problem last month, but it sure as hell is a problem this month as your code seems to have decided Lifetimers don't get stipends anymore... I consider this a breech of contract and suffice it to say I am ticked enough that my rage overflows from being ticked at Cryptic and it's going to spill over to all of Perfect World if it's not fixed.

    I'm a lifer...as you may have guess and on every month so far like clockwork my stipend has come on the ninth of every month. So far it's the 17th of June and I have not received my stipend from my Lifetime (I'm calling it Platnum) Sub! I've been on this game since it was just pay only game. I realize LOR launch was rocky to say the least but still it's the principal. It's the 17th and I have waited patiently and before Branflakes says "please issue a ticket" I already have and I haven't response back except for the confirmation you have it. I was hoping to get some new gear for PVP tonight and a fleet Klingon uniform.

    Can you nudge them a little Bran or any other Dev? Before all the specials are gone?

    All the best

    There is certainly something going on...
    i've read about weird stuff on the forum with delayed or not received stipends, just yesterday one player on my friendlist told me that he hasn't received any stipends in a while.

    And personally i am swimming in so much Zen i do not even NOTICE if i get those lousy 500 Zen, it would be nice if there was a mail or something that would tell me "hey you just received your stipend for this month"... but as it is, it is just added to the 5 digit amount i already have and the last 3 numbers are fluctuating so much because i use the dil:zen exchange so much, i really am not able to tell if something changes there.

    if there was something wrong for me, i wouldn't even know about it! ...kinda scary.
    after all i paid for it so it would be nice to know if or when it was delivered.

    It's been 6 days since I received my Stipend for the month of June. It comes on the ninth, I have already placed a ticket to account support. I need my Stipend so I can get that Klingon uniform I want so badly (fleet borstas).

    Thanks

    I'm not sure since I don't really track my date but I might have not gotten mine yet, or honestly it might not come till a little later in the month.

    All I know is I bought enough zen when with the bonus so with this months stipend I would have enough for a Scimitar pack and currently I'm 125 zen short.

    Of course, you have nothing but Cryptic's word on this as we have no proper account history available to us. Good luck with getting your stipend straightened out. Sadly, you're not the only one.

    Sigh.

    This makes me sad.

    Just another kick from cryptic. *Ow*

    Come on guys! *ow* stop *ow* stop it!

    COME ON BRANDON!!!!!!!!

    Talk to us I looked around the thread and there are more than just me, THIS IS REAL MONEY!!!!

    But yet you advertise the TRIBBLE out of the subs why? It's F2P unless during the LOR debacle a lot of subbers saucer separated from being Gold hence you need new ones. I feel like us Gold Members who had faith are the star drive that gets blown to bits in ST Generations.

    Serves me right.....putting my money on the line for a MMO about something I loved since I

    was a kid. :mad: :(

    thx for hopping in (!). i spoke to some people and it seems more than just a few players are experiencing this.
    i wrote my mail yesterday and got confirmation they received it and will reply asap/soon (tm).
    i only hope that there's something that will be done about in whole. i'm sure i miss at least 1 stipend (may more, that i'm not sure about; yes, sure about june!). i watched my zen-value all the time and regarded zen bought.

    plz just do something cause this seems, as said, not "just a few" (most of the people i talked to haven't hopped in here yet).

    I watch that thing like a hawk Brandon your billing team should too after all its real money and contracts..... I wait like a kid on Christmas for the stipend...nothing, you of all people should realize that machines break....if they didn't there would be no such thing as downtime would their be? Besides it does you no good to submit a ticket and then wait for 2 months on average for a reply. I want to see proof of your claim..that I did received double, I'll be the first admit I'm wrong and apologize if your right but until I see otherwise and based on what other people have said..your track record as a company is not very good, not to be mean but it's the truth unless your calling 100+ Gold Members who spent cash liars.

    Honestly Brandon your not Jay Carney, do a little detective work be proactive, quite frankly I've always had faith you would come through and you have on several occasions.

    Btw this is great game but I paid for my Stipend and I expect it when it's due. Like ANY Customer of ANY Business should.

    Thanks for the reply for all the good it did.
