| It kept going after this part... |
I mean, I know it's an automated system to detect when a certain amount of time had passed since a subscription ended, but I was still surprised they didn't give me a full day. My game time ended at 7:30-ish in the morning yesterday, yet I kept noticing the "Time Left" marker bouncing around with "XX Hours Left" growing and shrinking at-will, which I thought considerably odd. At one point I did login just to see if I got to the loading screen, and yeah, it actually worked about six hours past when it should have stopped.
At that point I just shrugged and let it be, and several hours later Battle.Net finally admitted my time had logged out. I did note there was some maintenance going on Monday, so that might have been it. However, it also wouldn't have surprised me if Blizzard had configured people's accounts to actually grant a few extra hours just on the off chance that someone had messed up and wasn't paying attention to their looming ending time.
Well, you can't say that Blizzard doesn't try to keep people subscribed, because they started throwing mounts and pets at me in the latter half of the email:

| Apparently Era and the Anniversary Servers are known as "World of Warcraft Classic games", and the version currently on Cata Classic is called "World of Warcraft Classic Progression realms". |
If they only knew I really don't care much about mounts or pets, but since that takes an absolute minimum amount of effort to hand out to people, that's why they're acting like it's Halloween candy.
I wonder what Blizzard would think if they knew that when I play SWTOR I use a speeder I've had since 2011 or a regular horse in LOTRO and ESO in the same way that I use a basic mount in various versions of WoW since 2010? I'm the sort of player who if I played a Battle Royale game I'd use the default skin because, if nothing else, it means that other players would underestimate me.
