Free Packs for EU Hearthstone Players

Blizzard apologises for "spotty" online servers last week.

On a post on the official Hearthstone forums, Blizzard admitted the online multiplayer aspect of the game was "spotty last week" and revealed two free Classic Hearthstone card packs would be offered as an apology.

"We know access to Hearthstone in Europe was spotty last week. Sorry about that, and we really appreciate your patience as we worked to get the tavern back into shape. As a thank-you for bearing with us, ALL Hearthstone accounts in the European Hearthstone region created prior to May 3, 2015 will enjoy two free Classic Hearthstone card packs, free of charge. Just log in to Hearthstone at your convenience to find your card packs in the "Open Packs" section. No need to rush; these packs never expire. Note: It may take up to 24 hours before your packs will appear."

Blizzard recently revealed that Hearthstone has now been played by 30 million people. The milestone was reached shortly after the release of the Blackrock Mountain expansion and the game's arrival for phones.
