It's CCPs job to protect their servers. Internet's evironment is violent, everybody knows that.
Just like the tank makers make an armor for their tank so it can survive in harsh conditions. If the tank was shot down it's the makers' fault for not making a better armor.
That would be irrelevant if it were in 19**-2000 year, because there was no protection against DDoS attacks at that time.
Whatever. |

Consumer laws are different everywhere, but where I live if the service is shut off for whatever reason then you get your bill pro-rated.

I've even received an entire month in states without a PUC for a single days disruption. If your sub was due on the 5th it should now be due on the 6th. That won't happen because it costs CCP money. That's why they give SP. That's why people ask for SP, because that's how its gone down in the past.
If you got a months credit for an outage that was a P/R credit from the provider. Every license agreement for a service provider includes a clause regarding unplanned downtimes because frankly **** happens and they can't guarantee 100% uptime. |

This is why the EULA clearly absolves CCP of such issues by telling the user that service is not guaranteed 100% of the time. Thus the user knows this going in and should expect disruptions in service from time to time that are beyond the immediate abilities for CCP to fix. As described below. Whether they are responsible or not is irrelevant, as a company they have already informed you that you should expect this and thus they shouldnt feel an obligation to compensate as it has already been disclosed in advance.
"While CCP attempts to have the System available at most times, CCP does not guarantee that the System will always be available, or that the System will not become unavailable during Game play. The System may become unavailable for a number of reasons, including without limitation during the performance of maintenance to the System, for the implementation of new software, for emergency situations and due to equipment or telecommunications failures."

Unfortunately in this state no such law exist. In fact the US is horrible for internet. I pay $50 a month for a 8 meg connection when I have friends in other aparts of the country who pay $40 for a 30 meg. Since there is only one provider though, competition isnt high and thus prices are :/ My provider doesn't reimburse me for anything, nor do they contact me when the net will be down for maintenance. Why? Because where would I go to get internet? lol not like I have a choice. |

Don't make me do that again, I don't like my voice like this. Pro tip: If your thread title asks "Why free SP?" then people are going to answer the question provided in your title, sometimes without even reading your post. I'm learning that the hard way right now... sigh.
That's usually the best way to learn a lesson I find. It really stays in your head! 
I love to reload during a battle!-áThere's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver missile into a well greased chamber... |
