I'm an EU player and yeah it sucks it going down during peak time but really, go eat something, go do the dishes, play with your pets, stuff like that. This is a game not real life guys, it won't hurt you being off it for 2 hours.
All i'd like to complain about really is the lack of communication between us and the CS/Devs. I used to play City of Heroes and if they had to take a server down for an emergency hotfix like this they had someone on the forums within a couple of minutes letting people know etc. This IS a new game however so i think cutting the guys some slack would be in order, ranting about things won't fix them any quicker.
Try to be positive about this guys, who knows they might fix something that would fix a lot of our problems that we've been having.
Peace out.
