Said it before: This is the first time I've ever seriously considered unsubbing. Me and my small FC saved up for a large plot ever since shirogane was but a whisper on the wind. I, as the essential matriarch, organized a group of 4 of us, each holding enough money for a mansion, to secure a plot. I analyzed polls on what wards people were going to, I looked at what plots people wanted. I looked at ways to ensure success in-game and out of game. I had a group chat going, where we all knew our roles and what to expect, and how to handle it. Routes to each large plot, backup plans, backup backup plans. I might have been one of the most prepared people for this....and then the launcher broke 2 minutes before the patch went live. Didn't resolve itself until 3 minutes after.

Each of us were in a 500 person queue. Didn't give up. Under 100 in queue; "unable to load world data" rinse and repeat this error. 10 minutes later, finally load in, next to the ferry.

Every single plot is gone.
