One-day credit for Misery (EU)
Firstly, I would like to apologize for the image at right, which is really not directly related. However, the only thing I could think when seeing the battlegroup name was Helium going "Miiiisewy" -- watch these flash videos, especially the first one, and understand.Now that's out of the way, here's what I meant to talk about. Apparently the realms in the European battlegroup Misery had some maintenance difficulties on May 21st and 28th, and will be compensated by the upstanding people at Blizz with a free day of playtime.
So if you have a character on any of the following realms, enjoy your €0.43 worth of credit:
Aerie Peak, Boulderfist, Eonar, Frostmane, Grim Batol, Jaedenar, Kazzak, Kilrogg, Outland, Ravenholdt, Stonemaul, Tarren Mill, Vek'nilash, and Wildhammer.
Oddly enough, they're also giving a day's worth of rested bonus to affected characters, which is something I haven't seen them do before. I wonder if that's going to be the norm in the future.

Does this count for me if I have an alt on one of the servers that I haven't played in about a month, or maybe more, and is only lvl 13?

Never thought about that to be honest....somebody should test it.
Might be worth creating a Level.1 character on most realms if it is the case... :D

What the hell? Spinebreaker goes down regularly during prime server play time and barely even gets a response from CMs.

I actually play on Boulderfist Horde EU. Though i still haven't got round to renewing my account so i wasn't affected those days.

They gave Malygos a full level of rest once, early on, and extended play for a day as well.

I don't care about a battlegroup I don't play on, but those flash videos are excellent!

So they have just 2 days of connection problems and get 1 day free, yet oceanic realms have had weeks of connection problems and get the same amount...well @%*& me!!

They used to the rested bonus all the time back in ye olden tyme before most people had 60s I don't remember when they stopped.
P.S. It specifies (or at least it used to) that you need an "active" character, what constitutes active I don't know
