Well,

The devs in this game seem to be pretty fair (and creative) in rewarding their player-base for sticking it out.  While it sounds sort of mushy/soft to advise you to trust them to deal with the situation; I have full faith that they will do so and appropriately compensate or reward players for lost time and inconvenience.

In short, I wouldn't worry about it too much.  the track record of the Devs is quite strong in this department.

+1
So far the DEV's have been fair and made sure the players are well compensated, so I'm sure they will do so this time aswell.

As Gargaj mentioned in the other topic, we will reimburse lost gametime of course, but there is no use doing it until we have found a way to solve the problem and know how much time needs to be reimbursed.

It sucks that you will have to work for free with all these refunds. I suggest to just give us some EP back. I can keep on paying for the game, even if i can't play atm.

How about an achieve, "I survived being ***" ... wait, nm.

Um...yes It should.

to me, this comment seems disingenuous, if these problems persisted (for exagerations sake) for a year, regardless of who's fault it is, you would not be willing to pay the subscription fee for a game you cannot play. everyone has their own tolerance of how long they'd be willing to wait for the issues to be resolved. Just because your tolerance might be higher than someone elses doesn't mean you're right and they're wrong.

also, wanting the game to survive, and costing the devs more than what the attacks have already done, are not mutually exclusive, i think we all want the game to survive, and contrairy to your statement, i think assuring ALL players that reimbursements will be fair will encourage them to "stick with it" & wait for a solution.

finally Zoom, i'm not sure you understood my origional post, i wasn't questioning weither or not we would be reinbursed, but rather how we would be reinbursed.

I'm asking if we'll be reinbursed for every day in which there was a ddos attack, or if downtimes will be added up and we'll be reinbursed that way.

ie: january 19th, server was down for an hour all-together
january 20th server was down for 2 hours and 15 minutes all-together
january 21st server was down for an hour and a half all-together
total reimbursement for those 3 days would be 4 hours and 45 minutes
(these are fictional numbers, just an illustration)

i think it would be more fair to credit 3 days in this example, because even though it was possible to play, you couldn't do so reliably

now that it appears the ddos attacks are over, do we know yet how much time will be reimbursed and when it will be added to our accounts?

I would like the Olson twins to tongue my sack and toss my salad.

Please arrange now!

hm let me estimate it with a litte calculation: 2-3 hours per day for 14 days would be a sum of about 72 hours, right? which would be the three days we got.

so now, why just 2-3 hours?

• the attacks weren't over a whole day mostly just about two times a day with one weaker (about one hour) and one heavier with each normally under 5 hours, over time only the "evening DDos" (servertime) stayed

• after the first week we didn't have a daily attack anymore and it decreased, same with the time the ddos took

with this in mind the pure estimation of it justifies those three days already.
Its also a refund for every account, not just the ones who tried being active during those weeks, which I would estimate as less than the half of active subscriptions.
I do think the given refund was enough and we can be even happy we got it: though we older player know about the courtesy of our dev-team, you can't naturally expect it from every game developing team.
