We've awarded the first stipend of 1,200 Tribble Test Points to all accounts which had a character on the Tribble test server as of today's downtime.
Additional Stipends will be given out at a later date. If you did not have a character on Tribble at the start of today's downtime, you can receive the next stipend simply by logging in and creating a character on Tribble.
Your "Award" Was a Point Reset not a Point Addition. Consquently, anybody, myself including, who bought points before hand got those points erased. Go look at the C-STore Tribble forum for posts.

Please tell me where they said they won't be increasing prices.
Now don't get me wrong, i want to see cstore prices drop as much as any1 else, but i don't recall cryptic ever saying that they will not increase the prices.
