Playtime credit for Bloodlust realms

Playtime credits: they're not just for European realms anymore! Blizzard must have been reading the comment thread for my post on the Bloodlust battlegroup's problems yesterday because, clearly in direct response to the demands of commenters Todd and oniwah, they are issuing a one-day credit to the accounts of anyone with characters on the affected realms.Once more, those realms are: Aman'Thul, Barthilas, Blackrock, Caelestrasz, Dath'Remar, Dreadmaul, Frostmourne, Frostwolf, Khaz'goroth, Kil'Jaeden, Kilrogg, Nagrand, Ner'zhul, Proudmoore, Sen'Jin, Silver Hand, Thaurissan, Tichondrius, and Vek'nilash. So if you've got a character on one of those servers, perhaps $0.50 worth of playtime will help make up for your troubles. Did they ever fix the latency/disconnect issues, by the way?

Not really. I was the only Rogue in our guild's Kara tonight, and I DC'ed just as Romulo died the first time, still managed to not wipe (lol how do you wipe on R&J?). Really annoying. It has got a little better, but if there's one thing that needs fixing it's the maintenance times.

Proudmoore wasen't too bad until you got to the island. The latency there was horrible last night.

I havn't had any issues with disconnects (I'm on Vek) but I've had some big problems with latency.

"to the accounts of anyone with characters on the affected realms"
what do you think the criteria for that is? it seems all to easy to just create a lvl 1 alt on all the battle groups to try and catch a free day a couple times year.

Good question, was just about to ask this :-)

I didn't have any problems last night on the Kil'jaeden server. Spent most of the night in SSC and then of course in the battlegrounds for a little while afterwards because I snagged the world breaker and had to hit someone with it.

Latency issues have not been resolved and many people are reporting intermittent lag spikes especially while in instances or Battlegrounds... but we have only been complaining about these things since 2.3 not to mention the over all high latency experienced by oceanic players due to server locations.

Would make since to have 1 character on every server if this is how they are going to pass out credits.

Except you can only have 50 characters per account. One per BG, maybe?
I've definitely gotten credits for characters I haven't played in a year, although they are above level 1. So if you can deal with getting a toon to, say, 10 on every battlegroup, that would probably be your best bet (even if it is cheating a little bit).

They will probably look at when the charater was created. If it was like a day ago you probably won't get the credit. If you were actually trying to level that character and not trying to just get an extra day from Blizz you would be higher than level 1 in a day.

Hah hah, awesome. I'm glad I commented now!
