I am not sure why people have such a problem with servers going down, for an extended amount of time.
Many games do this every once in a while, This is the longest its been down for me, and I've been playing 2 months.
Personally, I enjoy it, it makes me go do the things that I wont do, usually because I am playing.
I've gotten quite a bit done, But the most rewarding thing was the satisfaction of convincing my girlfriend that we really DID NOT NEED to watch a Twilight Movie..
Thought I was in for it....
Anyways, Got a lot done around the house, garden too! Even made an igloo outside! A nice warm home cooked meal.
Maybe the server being down for this long should happen more often!!
JK.
Keep up the good work team. We ain't mad, still got mad love.
