World of Warcraft saw many new features and additions added to the game with the launch of our latest content patch, Secrets of Ulduar. While we anticipated extended downtime for this patch, the actual downtime exceeded our expectations and after they came online players have experienced long petition wait times. At this time, many of the issues that caused these problems have been addressed and resolved.

In light of these circumstances, all North American, Latin American, and Oceanic accounts that are active and in good standing will receive one free day of play time. This day of compensation should be applied and viewable in your account management page (www.worldofwarcraft.com/account) within the next 7 days. We thank you for your continued support of World of Warcraft and we’ll see you in game!
