  Either fake, or someone has been sucking up.
  
  I probably belong to the group of veterans, being here since beta, having LTS and LOR pack, more than I care to admit C-Store purchases and ...
  
  well... my /played for my main alone:
  
  [9:38] [System] NAMENAME has been on active duty for 430 days, 33 minutes, 8 seconds.
  
  and I recived no such mail... so...
  
  I am more for the "/fake" part however.
  

  Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

  There's been no official word that I've seen. Until there is I am inclined to not believe it.

  I've been an LTS since open beta and haven't received anything of this type. I'm also in the "fake" party, the wording on the image doesn't seem to line up with the usual wording Cryptic's PR team uses. "Incredibly smooth Star Trek experience." Not a dig at connection issues or what have you (issues I rarely encounter for some reason), just doesn't sound right.

  I received this email, but can't see if it's legit due to being at work. Don't know why I would get it. Been playing for a while, but not a lifer. Only thing I can think of is that I haven't logged my fed in a while, and they want me to forgo my kdf main.
  
  Hell if I know what's going on.

  So it seems it's an attempt to get people back in game. Apparently people who actually play the game get nothing, while people who don't get a free $30 ship, ten spec points and a 'thank you for your support message'. Well, whatever I guess, nothing to be done about it.

  Hey, just because we haven't gotten one yet doesn't mean we won't. Lets let Trendy confirm whether this is for everybody or only a select few.

  
  Ok, sounds like a valid plan. Let's not jump the gun.

  In that case, you guys are either trolling, or we should have a small conversation about what the word "support" means.

  Ummmm.... This week alone...
  
  2 FREE Spec. Points per character
  
  2 FREE Ship slots for a toon
  
  FREE Account-wide Section-31 Outfit.
  
  
  Seems fair to me.

  Trendy herself said it was for people who haven't played in a while, over on twitter. Thinking maybe I should just quit the game for a while.

  Conversely, people who ARE here during special events get things that people who AREN'T here, cant. Example: the Summer event ship, and the free items this week.

  I had been contemplating purchasing some Zen in the near future. Apparently, it would be more beneficial to my characters to not buy the Zen and take an extended break from the game.

  Sure, if you got a bit bored or frustrated by it. There is a lot of fun to be had outside STO, and there is also a lot o fun to be had when you return to STO after a long absence. I was gone long enough for example to earn enough Lifetime Subscriber Zen to buy myself the Vesta Pack when I returned. That was cool...
