I may be mistaken, but in the last 2 years I don't think I have ever been given a "free time" refund, while it seems like every time the EU servers go down for more then 5-6 hours, they get some kind of reimbursement.
My server, as well as many other servers on the US side have been down for the majority of the day (BG servers all weekend), and I seriously doubt we will receive any type of compensation.
I just thought I read 4-5 posts in the last 6 months stating EU reimbursements, but never for the US.
We need to bitch more I guess.
