While I like the fact SOE is giving free subscription time due to the downtime I wonder if they concidered the effects on subscribers budgets in doing so. The free 30 days isn't an issue as it wont have any affect on billing date, however the 1 day per day the servers are down certainely could. I like many people nowadays am under a tight budget and while it wont affect the bottom line the date of my billing is planned. Changing my billing date by a currently undetermined amount of days may require me to cancell my subscription wait until the planned date, then resubscribe.
I would rather see them stick to a 30 day period even tho I realize this would have a greater affect on thier bottom line, however in the long run would probably benefit them more.
Just my 2 cents, let the bashing of my idea begin...
