Why is there no refund for the 48 hours maintenance?

[Godzillaxpowerrangers]

omg, I must be tired, I'm not even noticing anymore..

Titanman did do something like this before.

[Kaliesto]

It would be nice if they paused sub times during maintenance.

[Sotaris]

Its like it would be nice to have 2 extra days... but like its so small that most reasonable people aren't gonna care.

The DDOS I can also see as a decent reason, Personally i got a lot of playtime left so im not too bothered.

Tell SE that and report back what they replied.

I don't know what game company can charge a game fee then an expansion fee then even a subscription fee but go into maintenance for so long and have so much DDOS that you can't even play!

That is $0.9 taken out of my subscription that I can't even play. Because there are 20 million players, that is $18 million that you are charging everyone because of the subscription fee even though you can't even login to the server. This is borderline unethical.

Why not extend the subscription by 2 days? Since the server is paused our subscription should also pause and resume once the server is live again.

Please pay me back my $0.9 ASAP or extend my subscription by 2 days.

It made sense last expansion, because the devs were completely unprepared with the influx of players coming to play Endwalker. Other than that, this is normal each time we jump expansions. Shadowbringers took 2 days to drop. I don't see a difference.

Losing a dollar's worth of playtime shouldn't be a big deal.

It is in the Terms of Service that you agreed on when you first started playing the game.

[Destati]

Use those 48 hours to come up with better bait.

[MistakeNot]

It is in the Terms of Service that you agreed on when you first started playing the game.

Most Terms of Service contain lots of ridiculous and near-unintelligible clauses that all boil down to end-users having no rights whatsoever.

No smart person would agree to any of those ToS if there were realistic alternatives. There isn't, so everyone just clicks "Ok" without reading all the bullshit legalese.

Most of the ToS out there ought to be illegal. But until we get a sane world to live in, that won't happen.

[AnimalsALot]

What a bizarre request XD

[Ranhansha]

He's got a point though. You're paying for nothing. The excuse for the extended downtime is laughable too.

You might be paying for nothing. I'm paying for access to the game servers when they're not down for maintenance.

Considering how little $15 will buy these days, the servers could only be online 5 days a week every week and it would still be a good value. Much better than going to a cinema where the $15 gets you about 20 minutes of advertising and 100 minutes of a movie.

Not a good value in your opinion? Then spend the $15 elsewhere.
