Playtime credit for some EU realms

Apparently there was some extra downtime (7 hours!) for some of the European realms on Wednseday. To compensate, Blizzard is giving a one-day playtime credit to anyone with an active character in the affected battlegroups: Crueldad, Hinterhalt, Némésis, and Nightfall. That's one of the things I like about Blizz -- they may mess up, but when they do, they try to fix it (except when it comes to Life Tap).In case you're not sure what battlegroup you're in, here's the realm listings. If you have an active character on any of these European realms, you will be credited a day of playtime.
- Crueldad: C'Thun, Dun Modr, Los Errantes, Minahonda, Shen'dralar, Tyrande, Uldum, Zul'Jin
- Hinterhalt: Arygos, Der Mithrilorden, Dethecus, Forscherliga, Norgannon, Teldrassil, Todeswache, Un'Goro
- Némésis: Arak-arahm, Confrérie du Thorium, Eitrigg, Garona, La Croisade écarlate, Medivh, Uldaman, Vol'jin
- Nightfall: Alonsus, Anachronos, Bronze Dragonflight, Burning Steppes, Darkmoon Faire
Darkspear, Kor'gall, Lightbringer, Molten Core

Cruel Dad?

They have a battlegroup named Cruel Dad?

If I'm not mistaken, it's Spanish for "Cruelty."

That is totally awesome.

They didn't messed up about Life Tap, just the opposite.
Warlock tears are just exquisite.

There was major downtime for my battlegroup last week. Where's our free credit Blizzard?

Indeed. The entire Ruin battlegroup was down for "emergency maintenance" last Friday from the early afternoon til long into Friday night and we're not getting a credit.

Where is the credit for the Ruin Battlegroup... we were down multiple times including almost all day last Friday.

My first take is Blizzard is only doing this because of some eu or Spanish law compelling them to do so.

Stuff like this tempts me to make a char on every server just so I can eek out some more free days... I'm not addicted, I swear!

^^ 1 day of free play time costs blizz nothing anyway, I'm surprised they don't give one extra day as standard because of the weekly maintenance anyway.
You may think its early in the morning, who cares - when it goes from 4am-9am every week, that's a lot of time missing and I have been kicked off a few times on early morning playing! (OK, late night playing then! :P)
