I want compensation

[Fye-baelgun]

come on man i only have so much time a day to place i dont have time for the servers to be doing this. is blizzard going to compensate me with a few hours game time for this? thanks

[Pekti-executus]

No, they aren’t.

[Praetorian-senjin (Praetorian)]

To put it simply no, but if you think you deserve compensation you can start a thread in the GD forum where this request can be seen.

Edit: looks like this got moved.

[Norbert-barthilas]

What is this shutdown for exactly?

[Eilis-kelthuzad]

For this amount of downtime, no.

Maintenance, expected and unexpected, is factored into the subscription.

At this point you’re looking at pennies in compensation for the amount of downtime.

Unable to retrieve character list/character with that name exists

Update Hey all, Looks like they are restarting realms in a few minutes to help resolve the various issues you are all experiencing. Sorry for the short notice but hopefully this resolves the issue once the realms come back. Going to create a thread so we can keep information and updates in one spot. We’re aware of an issue where some folks are either unable to retrieve the character list, character with that name exists or getting world down and similar messsages. It is being looked into. …

C’mon man, do you get compensation when cable goes out for an hour, or your ISP has internet issues for a couple hours or if say there was a power outage? The answer would be nope!

[Kiphette-earthfury]

flag nerdrage and move on.

i’ll give you a nickel

[Grunlukth-thrall]

They have never and will never give game time for unexpected server shutdowns, lol. You pay like $12-15/mo, how much do you think an hour or two (bearing in mind atm it’s been 10 minutes) of downtime out of that month would even amount to?

[Kallox-draka]

According to my calculations, your 10 minutes out of 30 days for $15 should yield you…

$0.00347222222 in compensation

Enjoy!

Sarcastic statement: If losing a few minutes of your time is that detrimental I will send you the $.05 compensation you are requesting.

Since you asked, if my cable/internet is out for more than 2 or 3 hours, I can get 1 day of service as compensation.

[Bullêtproof-zuljin]

Wrong. It was not uncommon at all for them to refund game time when the game initially launched. Server issues galore.

[Ereh-stormrage]

I want the Vulpera and Mechagnomes to swap factions as compensation.

[Chrisski-ravencrest]

Must be nice, never had a cable company do that for me in any of the 3 states I’ve lived in.

Let me mail you a whole 50¢ if it means that much to you.

And no, they aren’t. Because you agreed to downtime when you created a Bnet account.

That was only when it was down for a week straight around launch. Not a lousy hour or two for a hotfix after a major patch.

i was wondering why this thread ended so fast… one guess
