More WoW Free Time

The World of Warcraft Community Site (thanks Frans) describes the latest compensation Blizzard is offering to subscribers of their MMORPG based on the ongoing downtime they have been experiencing, which are detailed in this GameSpot story. Word is: "We do appreciate your patience and enthusiasm about playing World of Warcraft, and we regret that you faced periods of high traffic this past weekend that caused some of you to have a poor game experience. So, due to the extended nature of the server issues, we will be providing a free 48-hour extension of play time. As with previous extensions, this will show up as free extra time on your current billing period (or on your trial period, for those of you who purchased the game recently). We hope you'll bear with us as we continue to work hard on implementing changes for long-term stability."

Umm, Creston, the "billing cycle" you say Blizzard wouldn't dare touch is nonexistant.. Every player doesn't start on the same exact day. Having a guy pay on December 25th and another pay on December 31st isn't really that far off from those two guys paying on December 23rd and 29th respectivly.

But hey, don't take MY word for it.
As with previous extensions, this will show up as free extra time on your current billing period (or on your trial period, for those of you who purchased the game recently)
Straight from the front page at Blizzard. As with the prior extentions during the free month; you don't get billed until the extra days are over.

EDIT: I just checked my Billing info.. I got 3 extra days inbetween my current payment and the next one.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Dunn
