You can't count maintenance, as that was a given when you bought the game. It's "agreed upon" downtime.
I can't wait for the whiners who want to be refunded for the time they spend asleep. "We're not playing WoW, so we shouldn't pay for those hours!"

Funny that you did this, I was about so spend some time this morning figuring out the same thing. I didn't think it would amount to a lot of $, but I wanted to know anyways (I am a data analyst by trade). Once thing that I think should be factored in is playing time and/or peak playing time. It is impossible to play 24/7, although I'm sure some try, I'd say average max play time per day would be 16 hours or 2/3's of one day, so that would equate to $.02 a day.
The Tuesday morning downtime which is usually 5am-11am imo is a terrible time to do maintenance. Blizzard should look and moving it to say 1am-7am on Monday mornings. There may be better times, and I'm sure they can figure out the lowest usage per server and plan for the maintenance around that, for each server.
As far as these last 2 days, I feel that there is no excuse. I am paying for a service, that they are currently unable to provide. With the XP coming out tomorrow adn the amount of beta testing, somebody screwed up big time, and we should be credited something for this. They should average out how much gold and xp I would have earned, and credit that to me, not the $.02 times two days of play time I've missed.
That's one thing I agree with, Tuesday maintenance is not a good time for a lot of people. I agree, making it from 1am - 7am PST on a Monday would be a lot better. However, we don't know why Blizz chose Tuesday, they probably have a good reason so we should accept it and just do other stuff while servers are down.
