Any plans for compensaion due to a full 24 hours with inability to play?

[SpayedNeko]

Only time they'd compensate, and if memory serves they did, is if a maint is insanely beyond the projected time, or due to massive server instability. A planned 24 hour downtime to implement an entire expansion pack that was announced well ahead of time, and that anyone would know about if they have just a single working eye, isn't going to get you any compensation.

11 pages on a thread in which the OP has created 3 posts for. 90% of you are in agreement, but you keep posting. This, my friends, is the very definition of a troll thread, and you all fell for it. By replying, I've also fallen for it. OP, I hope, that not only were you joking, but you are now bathing in exotic oils while eating grapes hand-fed to you with at least 37 monitors around the tub with this thread being automatically refreshed every 20 minutes flashing in your face while you are left with naught but a coy smile and your luxuries.

Oh and if, OP, you happen to be 100% serious, I am well and truly embarrassed for you.

So according to the forums here, it seems it is reactive and on an individual basis. Thank you.

The part when you agree to the terms of service say that the service may not be always available. You agree to that without compensation.

heres 35 cents. Enjoy your compensation.

lmao you remind me of a phone service provider in australia... tried to make a phone call at a payphone my money got jammed in the coin slot.. the phone company refused to put my phonecall through but sent me 50c in the mail 4 months later.. cost of a stamp in australia is 60c go figure that logic lol pissing down rain and just got back from 2 months out at sea.. all i wanted to do was ring my girl to pick me up lolz

I couldn't even begin to count the number of free days (and they do add up) Blizzard has handed out for downtime compensation. I'm not sure why people think the inquiry is so odd. Regardless of what's written in the terms of service there are obviously companies willing to throw their customer's a bone in this area, and there are obviously those that aren't.

Most of these responses are pretending like downtime compensation never happens, and that's just ridiculous. Feel free to argue whether or not developers should do this sort of thing, but picking at someone for raising the question is just dumb.

The original post:

I just resubscribed this week and found out that I'll already be down a day from what I paid. So is the company being proactive and giving each member currently subscribed that day free? Or is the plan more reactive and providing compensation on an individual basis?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the above question (which is the original post). I suspect most people didn't even bother to read and are responding off the title alone.

"I just resubscribed this week and found out that I'll already be down a day from what I paid." < Factual statement.

"So is the company being proactive and giving each member currently subscribed that day free? Or is the plan more reactive and providing compensation on an individual basis?" < Question asked.

You all are the ones making a mountain out of a molehill, not the original poster. Your responses should have been something along the lines of "Haven't heard anything about any planned compensation. People would probably have to contact them individually and put in the request. I'd be surprised if they give you what you're asking for, though". (and that last sentence is optional)

This thread should have been one page, not 11 pages of trolling.

This let me wonder if people that always point out that a thing is a troll thread are actually the ones that did fall for it.

This community like to bully.

So if the OP is serious (and I really hope they aren't): yes, compensation is absolutely deserved. The opportunity to lose 28 mgp on a daily cactpot ticket and get less than 100 poetics on a roulette is so dramatically heart-rending that I require recompense.

"Ask an incredibly stupid question, get mocked viciously" is a time-honored tradition on many forums.

There's always someone.

To be fair, Blizzard doesn't give compensation for scheduled maintenance, which this is. I do agree that people are taking a bit far at this point, though. No need for this thread to have 11 pages. *shrug*
