Blizzard grants a player 2 days of free gameplay so they can farm their WoW token.
Those who are active in the official forums of World of Warcraft will encounter plenty of complaints and a level of expression that doesn’t really deserve the name. The truly beautiful stories, however, can be found on Reddit. There, user dealy_98 shared their experience with Blizzard’s customer service. Instead of complaining, they politely asked customer service if they could grant their account 12 hours of gameplay. They would use this time to farm the WoW token in the game, which they would then use to extend their gameplay time.
To the surprise of most, there was a positive response from customer service. Dealy_98 was generously gifted 48 hours of gameplay “for free,” allowing them to then earn their WoW token to extend their account in the usual manner. It seems someone at Blizzard was feeling generous.
Here you can see the original dialogue between the player and customer service:
Cortyn says: It used to be normal for Blizzard to grant players a few days of free gameplay during long server downtimes or outages – which can still be seen in the account history today. Nowadays, this has become rare, although server outages have also become rare. In any case, it’s a nice gesture from customer service. I believe that such an offer is certainly at the discretion of the staff, as when a friend of mine wanted to regain access to his hacked account, he also received a few days of gameplay as a gift.
