I have been a "paying" member of STO since June
2010. First paying $14.99/month, then changing to
$29.99/3 month. Previously, I never received a stipend
Of 500 zen...but about 6 months ago..I noticed I was starting
To receive the stipend every month. Does this mean I
Am now a lifetime member and don't have to pay anymore
To receive the perks...or do I just continue to pay to receive
The STO PERKS. In the 4 years + I've been playing and
Paying..the total amount I've paid comes to well over the
$299 the lifetime membership costs. Just need some
Clarification. I've paid over $720 so far in the past 4 years
And probably spent at least that buying PWE Prepaid Cards
To spend on the game. Like I mentioned earlier,
Just asking for clarification. All these amounts can be verified
Through PWE/ARC records.
That was explained in my post. 4 years of monthly
Payments totaling over $720. 2 years paying $14.99
And The rest of the time(25 months) I payed $29.99
Every 3 months. I looking for an answer from STO.
If I need to put this in another forum, please let me know.
okay monthly subs means you are just a gold member that goes back to f2p status after your monthly runs out. no it doesnt qualify you for lts status.
if you wanted to be lts you would have to pay the money to get the lts. so really you should of made the choice years ago if you liked the game enough to invest this money into it, if you had say done so before that year was out in 10', then you would of likely just spent 400 dollars and then got all the rewards that come from it including stipend. however you put more into it through subbing monthly and now will likely make the choice to consider saving some up for lts or continue subbing if you want. since the game is f2p, you dont need to sub, but any new toons you make after the fact wont get the benefits your toons/alts already have gained from the previous gold sub benefits which is kept until you throw em out..

mirror is correct. If you want to be a lifetime member, you need to purchase the lifetime member subscription.

what does interest me here is the stipend you mention that you never got your stipend until recently, if you have the records of those transactions date back over the years, you can file a support ticket over the stipend you never got with pwe, you should get the stipend every month start from the time you do sub. i dunno if pwe will go all the way back to the atari days of subbing stipend and cover that, i suspect that wont happen, but if you can recover from 11' through until the end of 13' then you may want to do so.

I've never seen any record of transactions. I don't think i get the stipend half the time and I'm an LTS. Mark doesn't get it and he's a gold member
Thanks for the replies. Are you saying that all toons
Started under Gold will keep the Gold Benefits That
My main and present alts have now? I won't lose all the
ec's Ive earned? I have 3 toons which have around 600,000,000
Ec. Lotsa hard work there. Don't want to lose anything.

your own bank records prove your transaction if you use your card. that can be used if needed to prove that point.

but no way to track the stipend.
This.
Ever since the stipend was given, They have missed paying me a few times, maybe 3 or 4.
The principle, however, dictates that Cryptic/PWE should give us a history so we can track them....
