I don't see the point in keeping the servers up after the proposed November 11th date. I know he used the reasoning of the social aspect of the game, but there are plenty of other methods of communication outside of the game that people can use in the meantime.

I'm personally going to use the time between the 1st and the 11th to re-record all my cutscenes from 1.0 in HD so I can compare them to the new ones in ARR. Also, I thought there was going to be another lettered patch between now and the end of the game? There wasn't any mention of it in the producer letter so I'm guessing not...

Anyway, once I get done the things I want to accomplish before the servers go down, I can finally take the time to play some other games that have been on the backburner. Sleeping Dogs, maybe some Path of Exile and Diablo 3.
