I realize that this is a bit much to ask, however I and a great many other players would certainly appreciate it. Seriously ? I mean... SERIOUSLY ? My hamster died. I was depressed for a week and could not play. Bioware should refund me too. /facepalm

I'm sorry for your loss, but the difference is that 4 million other hamsters did not die alongside yours, simultaneously driving their owners into a deep depression, leaving them unable to play for a week. Again, I'm still not arguing that I have a solid case here, only that your attempt to make light of the issue isn't really appreciated.

You know, if Bioware were RESPONSIBLE for those outages you might have a leg to stand on. Bioware does NOT provide power to your community or internet service to your house. If ANY of those things are not provided or available, HOW IS IT UP TO BIOWARE TO PROVIDE CREDIT TO YOU? So, if you computer breaks does Bioware owe you something? If you can't get home on time from work, does Bioware owe you credit? If you are too drunk to play the game, should Bioware give you free play time? NO! This is the worst example of the "I deserve something free" mentality out there. Now, get off my lawn!
Give me an MMO that I can visit and have fun! Where what I pay for is not going to those that play for free.

So let me get this straight. Millions of people are without power, including yourself, and your biggest concern is not being able to play SWTOR? I envy you.

Well done, OP... well done. You duped quite a few with your post. Your buddies under the bridge will be impressed.

Um.... A show of good faith for WHAT? What do they need to provide a show of good faith for? The power outtages aren't their problem or responsibility.

I guess all the tribal people in Africa are due free game time too, well cause they don't have power.
That's why they call it space, cause there is so much of it.

Put a claim in with your insurance and do us a favor and delete this post. You are clearly a fool. And then the OP should go and start writing to his politicians and energy companies to get the infrastructure upgraded so that things like this are less frequent. Those are the people the OP should be talking to.
