Sony Online Entertainment Compensating Players Due to Outage


It's been such a shame that Sony Online Entertainment and Playstation Network's outage has gone on this long, but Sony is working very hard to get it all back up and secure for every single one of us. It's not just that, but they've also have been trying to make us all happy after all this time that with no online play.
Now we already know about the Playstation Network's "Welcome Back" program, but what about SOE and all of the games that servers are running from? Well, it's a good thing to hear since SOE will be compensating for a good amount of things actually. The first thing that's really worrying gamers are the days that they're still getting charged for on their credit cards for the days they're not playing; "30 days of game time added to the end of the current billing cycle in addition to one day for each day the system is down," as stated by their recent post.
That's not all, though. Players will also be compensated with cool extras in games that they're playing as well, such as DC Universe Online, Free Realms, Everquest and many more. The following is a quote from their statement, which can be found, right here
- DC Universe™ Online: Batman™ and Two-Face™ Inspired Masks and 30 Marks of Distinction
- Free Realms®: Free daily items (7 to collect)
- Clone Wars Adventures™: Count Dooku v2 Outfit
- EverQuest®: A series of events, including Double XP, Double Rare Mob Spawns and Double Faction Gains
- EverQuest II and EverQuest II Extended: A series of events, including Double XP, Double Guild XP, Loot Bonanza, and City Festivals
- Vanguard: Saga of Heroes®: A series of Double XP events
- Star Wars Galaxies™: Bounty Hunter Statue, a miniature model of Boba Fett's ship, the Slave I™
- Magic: The Gathering - Tactics™: Four of each of these spells: "Ivory Mask", "Duress" and "Angelheart Vial", plus 500 Station Cash
- PoxNora®: Limited edition Carrionling, Welcome Back 5K Gold Award Tournaments and two Draft Tournaments, plus 500 Station Cash
For our lifetime subscribers, we'll grant in-game currency; specifically 20,000 coins for Free Realms, 7,500 Galactic Credits for Clone Wars Adventures and 10 Marks of Distinction for DC Universe Online (in addition to the items listed above).
And finally, our Station Access subscribers will receive 500 Station Cash, in addition to the subscription time and items listed above.
Don't fret, online gamers! Both PSN and SOE services will be up sometime soon!
