Maybe a way to get sub days added to account for those in the hurricane?

SE cannot control the weather, housing demolish suspension was the default good intention move.

They don't have to help anymore and would still be the good guy.

That said, if they did, it would be a heroic gesture, one most like the Warrior Of Light.

Would you donate money or keep subbing if the shoe was on the other foot and SE servers were decimated for a month or two, where you couldn't play?

heroic gesture for whom? people that got heavily affected in houston probably their last corcern is how much sub time they missed on ff, the only thing that will benefic is everyone BUT the affected victims. also SQ has no way on knowing who got affected and who doesn't.

As someone living in the area of Texas that was hit by Harvey i say this is asking for too much, and am glad for those that spoke out against this particular post. SE has already done a great service to the play base through their actions as it is. I say this as someone on a high pop server that still has no houses up for sale. Yes i would benefit by a few homes being freed up for purchase, but obtaining one that way would be dissatisfying.

I was talking about Irma and florida since that's where OP is from and he's asking free time because his light went off which "which is florida strong winds and power outage" is exactly what happened. I did forgot houston is still recovering from the damage.

It's okay, we are all human. I apologize if I came off as a bit cross or angry. When family and friends are involved sometimes we all can get a bit blinded with concern. I hope you have a wonderful day!

They were nice enough to stop housing demos for a period of time. I should have expected as much as far as this post goes. SE gives an inch, someone wants to take a mile. I really wouldn't push your luck, OP. It's kind of in poor taste.

I think you should cut your losses, be thankful youre fine and live without the game for a while if its such a short period...I live in the Caribbean and my friends in st martin and anguilla are looking at months without utilities. What good will added sub time do then?

As stated by other posters, there's a number of reasons that make this idea difficult to handle and easily exploitable. Being mostly to do with vpns.

Well if they didn't get injured or die or lose their house. The people who live there and couldn't play without power. It's not about concern. Sometimes the pain can be felt even if it wasn't directly you. What do heroes do? Sometimes they give something no matter how insignificant it might seem. A teddy bear could comfort a child.

Not saying SE should or be expected to. So if they did yes it would be a heroic gesture.

Unfortunately, OP, such a service is not available, and probably won't be. The only reason they would give out free extra sub is if something went screwy on their end and they were down unexpectedly for an extended period of time.

But hey, never hurts to ask.

playing devil's advocate here but if memory serves didn't SE suspend subscriptions for about a month after the tsunami? That said, it's a logistical nightmare for finding out who is affected that would cost more to figure out than it would save consumers. I was for the housing demolition suspension but this... it sets a dangerous precedent
