A free days play is not compensation but just a reimbursement of payment for a service that we never received.

I will accept nothing less than a star destroyer and a Mako's extra tight outfit as compensation.

Actually yes it is.

You lost around, what , maximum of 10 hours?

Say you lost 18 hours. You do realize they're giving you 24 hours of gameplay free, right?

Compensation does not mean it will be greater, it means it will be equitable to what you lost.

I'm really currious, I think what you meant to say is we lost 8 and gained 16 if anything.
you are slow there was a 8 semi-scheduled down time after 1.2 quickly followed by 8 hours unscheduled downtime i repeat it again for the challenged ones 16 out of 24 hours = 1 full day. That was downtime of 8am to 4pm then 4pm to 12am (BST) which is a full day.


Now for the English class: If my cup of coffee is knocked over by a person and they get me a new cup of coffee i am reimbursed if they get me a coffee and cream cake I am compensated

Yes. They want subs so a days extra play time is nothing.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

The stupidity and greed of the Human Race never fails to amaze me.


On with nicer thoughts...

Wow! Thanks BW. You are the first MMO company I have ever seen give such goodwill to your valued clients after what was really just a minor downtime. Amazing customer care.

I won't be satisfied until BioWare sends me a billion dollars and gives me a 50 for every AC that is invincible and has unlimited credits.

Not to detract from BW's actions but between game release and BC release, I ended up with 43 days of credit.
