Ah... the joys of not paying for neo. And why i'll never pay for Neo.
I'm not about to pay for a tempermental website.

*shrugs*
They've probably got a fair bit of volume, considering it's holidays.
And with staff out, something may have just been building up.
Staff deserve a holiday too though. So to be honest, meh.

And I doubt anyone will get a refund for the whole month over one day when it comes to paying. Do you really want your thirty cents that much?

After the last down time that was 24 hours...I would have been mighty upset if this down time was just as long. So yes, I probably would have wanted some kind of compansation for that. When I had problems with my hosting company, they credited me for a month...I would expect Neopets to have the same kind of buisness practices when it comes to downtime on their site.

YAY! Now ... if only the news would post ....

I have a feeling that for 24 hours of downtime, I doubt neo would reimburse for a whole month. They'd lose massive amounts of money doing that. And then what? We'd probably only end up with more downtime on the site.
Since I am not a portal player, I am curious. Did you recieve anything in the mail or some sort of contract agreement with reguards to what happens during site downtime?
*shrugs* I feel that personaly downtime happens with a site. It happens with internet companies. And I feel it is unfair to ask for the whole months payment back. You're still playing the site for the rest of the month when it is up. Why shouldn't you be paying for those benefits then?
Getting a reimbursement for the amount of time you can't play is fine by me, but not robbing them of the money that you fairly paid them for time on their site.
