    If a 24 Hour Maintenance, One free day?

    Was it mentioned anywhere if the maintenance do happen to last more than say 20 hours we would get an extra day of play?

    It's in the Terms of Service. You acknowledge the fact that the game may be unplayable at any given time, including maintenance. Technically, they reserve the right to disallow anyone from playing at any given time, for whatever reason they so choose.

    EDIT: Congratulations, OP! You've been graced with my 100th post! *throws a party*

    It's cute how everyone on this forum thinks that a Terms of Service agreement actually holds any sort of legal weight. You cannot side-step legal boundaries just by including things like that in your ToS, and it's pretty much universally accepted by courts that nobody actually reads terms of service agreements. I'm not saying I think we should be compensated for this, that's completely ridiculous - but people on this forum put way too much stock in ToS'. They aren't a legal force-field. Blizzard was forced to compensate and recall Diablo 3 in several countries due to the fact that the box did not make it clear about online requirements and down-times, despite the fact that it made it very clear in the ToS.

    I didn't say it was legal. I just said (well, in so many words) that SE ain't gonna do sh*t for self-entitled plebeians as long as they don't have to. THAT'S what a Terms of Service is. They can say F U for as long as they like, if they like, and they are under no obligations to give any f*cks.

    Maintenance is something that they are not giving refunds for, nor will a single day of interrupted service hold any sort of water in a court of law, especially when that company states, explicitly, that you're PAYING for maintenance. Oh no, you missed a day. Go milk a cow or hug your children.

    At the risk of sounding like too much of a jerk, you DO bring up valid points. You were just aiming them in the wrong direction. Hat tip to you, sir.

    While everyone knows the ToS says that, it'd be a nice thing for them to do for their paying customers that aren't able to play at all on monday (most likely). It's one of those small things that make people feel their support of the game is appreciated.

    50 cents can get you two gumballs or 10 minutes of parking!
