World of Warcraft saw many new features and additions added to the game with the launch of our latest content patch, Secrets of Ulduar. While we anticipated extended downtime for this patch, the actual downtime exceeded our expectations and after the realms came online players have experienced long petition wait times. At this time, many of the issues that caused these problems have been addressed and resolved.

In light of these circumstances, all European and Russian accounts that are active and in good standing will receive one free day of play time. This day of compensation should be applied and viewable in your account management page (www.wow-europe.com/account) within the next 7 days. We thank you for your continued support of World of Warcraft and we’ll see you in game!

I'm wondering will the people on the 10 days of scroll of resurrection also get 1 extra day?

It's such an easy way of getting our acceptance, but as always, we smile and it makes us believe that Blizzard cares :)

it's also their only way, since every even slightly sane person would know large software releases (and yes, their patches can be considered as such) can bring unforeseen problems.

Thanks for this update Vaneras. :)

What else do you expect them to do?

I'd rather have servers online on time than get a free day, but I still appreciate the move.

Thankyou but before you give compesnation you should make sure the patch is 100 percent working at the moment people are having serious problems with this patch. I am many others today have encountered serous problems when dying cannot find our bodies having to wait ten minutes and see our armour go seriously down hill and having to pay for it in our own gold because of your imcompentence in the patch so fix it or lose people

Bye? :)

I only had to wait for about 30 minutes for my realm to come back online when I came back from work and even though I'm fine with it as it is and this geture is nice, I feel like people that whine about downtime are like crack addicts who will die if they don't get a dose and just cover up behind the "But I'm a paying customer" nonsense :P

That's your....

Anyone sick to death of Blizzard releasing patches that do not work and require numerous shutdowns and restarts?

Surely the PTR is there for a reason and the game downtime is purely down to blizzard releasing patches that are bugged and not yet ready,purely released for the elitist guilds who want progression yesterday.

Come on Blizzard STOP pampering your elitist jerks and release patches when they have been tested to the max and work.
At the end of the day WE PAY to play now sort ypurselves out Blizz jeez.

Patching doesnt always go the way it was planned, and its not always blizzards fault..

True, there are a few bugs here and there that should have been found out while still on the PTR, but with such a major content patch, there is bound to be bugs ...

Some might happen while patching, some might just not be found on the ptr. Thats what hotfixes are for..
