Possible Refund Topic

Just some food for thought. We all pay to play WOW, whether it be monthly, semi annually or a yearly subscription, it all has a cost. Take that cost and divided it by the hours based on subscription and you should get a hourly rate. Per hour of extended maintenance or any extra maintenance of any form, beyond the scheduled Tuesday maintenance, I think Blizzard owes its customers a refund? Agree? Yes/No?

This might make them a bit more accountably and professional as a whole and keep each department held accountable. I’m fully aware this will never happen but its an idea if people got on board with might have some traction.

For actually downtime that lasts at least a week straight with zero uptime? Sure?

For intermittent maintenance periods that occur as they fix and patch things, no.

I disagree - the EULA clearly covers scheduled / unscheduled / emergency maintenance and how they have no obligation to compensate for such things.

I hope blizzard marks every account who spammed this to never get any reimbursement

Imma go with a big ‘no’.
We come into this understanding that it might need fixed, just like we buy a car understanding it might have major problems that’ll need fixed.

They did do this once, across the board for all players. I think they gave everyone +48hrs of credit. I believe it was after Cata launch, but it may have been WoD. Idk, I’m old and they all run together at some point…

i want a free day of game time

They should just give a all 100% exp buff to help with downtime. I would be happy with that

For all of you “fans” saying no. It would not be unprecedented for them to offer game time due to unexpected downtimes. They have given out game time because of downtimes/maintenance/server issues. Its not been much 1-3 days but, hey im down for whatever they are willing to offer.

Not according to the policies you agreed to.

I wonder how many “maintenance compensation” threads have been created over the 18 years of wow. At least one every Tuesday, so with 52 weeks in a year x 18 years, that’s 936. And that’s low-balling it.

I think it was Wrath, that’s the last time I remember it happening. But my bf says it happened once or twice since then, so maybe. All I recall at the Cata launch was being murdered over and over quite ruthlessly out in Vashjir or w/e it’s called

I was thinking maybe LK also, however I believe it was closer to the launch of D3 (which was also motherforking awful launch) and it was kinda like they HAD to do SOMETHING to save their pr.
