Blizzard Entertainment has been trying really hard to curb cheating in its Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, World of Warcraft (WoW). In doing so, they've banned thousands of accounts, to insure that gameplay doesn't get ruined for millions of their subscribers. In this frenzy of bans, Blizzard mistakenly banned a few Linux users who used a legitimate program called 'Cedega' to play WoW. Now Blizzard's trying to make up for it, and this is how they plan on doing it (according to the mail they sent to these Linux users):
'Blizzard Entertainment deeply regrets the error, as we understand that this brief account closure presented you with an inconvenient and highly frustrating experience. We remain firmly committed to enforcing our regulations and suspensions for those exploiting our game, in the interest of ensuring that our legitimate customers have the best possible play experience. In this case, however, we regretfully caught a handful of innocent customers in the process, and for that we offer you our genuine apology.
In consideration of our error, we are applying a credit of two weeks play time onto your account, in addition to crediting back the time that your account was locked. This comes to a total of twenty (20) days credit, which should be visible on your account within the end of the week.'
