From Drunkapedia
General
On February 18, 2009 during the evening (roughly 6:30 pm on FF) +Turbine Geneva went to each server and dropped hundreds of Hero Tokens in the Marketplace. This act was an not an official apology for the recent server instability and authentication server problems.
+Turbine Geneva's Response on Official Turbine Boards
"It wasn't repayment or an apology for the recent issues, that decision is made by higher-ups in the food chain than myself. It had been awhile since I visited Dereth but sadly my time was very limited, that's the reason for the quick visit.
I hope to have something scheduled for the near future involving more than dropping some tokens and baby chickens to slaughter the unsuspecting level 5, 295 burden mules in the Marketplace grabbing a token. "
