Although I realize we are all anxious to play and I also realize that by the very nature of this game we play we are all a bit childish (LOL), we should continue to have patience.

It is easy to forget why we are all so anxious for the game to be working. Because we love playing it!!
If that is not the case for you then do me and everyone else a favor and quit, there are plenty of other games to play. Asking for freebees and complaining is just annoying.
$14.95 per month = ~.50 cents a day. At 16 hours downtime they will owe you a whopping .33 cents.
Relax, and write some script for you new missions, I for one cant wait to see everyones creative flare. 
