I went to Full Tilt and earned myself $44, so I guess I should be grateful :-)
I do not like the extended downtimes either, however, would you rather have more downtime or continuing bugs? Personally, id rather them do it at a time thats not so interruptive of gameplay but there is no time to do maint that will keep everyone happy.

I just like making light of a crazy situation. :P
I'm just doing some creative writing while I wait. And perusing the forums.
I'm totally not mashing the F5 key on the server status tab, no sirree >_>
*sigh*... Just spent 2 hours playing another game I didn't really feel like playing, waiting for these servers to come back up. Don't make me go back and play it again!
Something really mustn't have gone well with the maintenance/patching...

/e looks at server status that says unknown and types /stuck repeatably
Given the choice of playing on an unstable server where trials and zones are crashing left and right versus some server downtime so they (hopefully) fix the problem... I'll take the downtime.
It's no fun going halfway through a trial or a Hami raid and then having everyone disconnect/crash and have their rewards roll back.
Honestly though, this type of stuff shouldn't be unexpected after the first week of a release. It happens almost every time. If it's not one bug, it's another.
Being that the game is a spiderweb of old/new/crazy coding with patches here, there and everywhere, it's no surprise that things don't go super smooth on the initial release. Still, they're working on fixing the problem, and they've acknowledged there is a problem.
However, if this goes on for more than a month... then I'll be singing a different tune

Instability after a new issue release??? Unspeakable. Not like it happens every issue release :\ Which it does. Goes back to my original theory: Rush rush rush, then fall behind til the LEETS piss and moan on the forums, then release it half *** to pacify the masses. I'm used to it.

...After getting DC'd too much, I statted out an Illusion/Sonic Controller with Mids... Then watched My Little Pony. Damn you all to hell.

Edit: looks like they're coming back up!

Servers are up, see you all in game.
What Rick would do during a unexpected server downtime
1 never let you down
2 never lie
3 or hurt you
Sorry had to.....
as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.

And yet, you did it wrong.

I slept!!
And had a dream of my wife driving a truck, with me in the backseat, off of an open bridge, down about a thousand feet towards the water to our death!

"Never tell a lie and hurt you" also constitute a single activity in the context of the song.
