So it's not a matter of "childish screams" is an economical matter, money matter.. Simple... Im an old guy... Im not a kid.. I play some MMOs just to relax and have some fun when I get time free. So everyone expects that If they pay for the product (herein Game...) and I they are serious about paying monthly subscription.. Then SE as merchant (software devs, however you want to call it...) have the responsability to address the issue immediately no questions asked. They in fact would be violating their own agreeements to provide excellence game experience.. So here you have 2 problems.. They would be violating their agreement and making false advertisement. So do not say it's childish screaming please.. These are their customers demanding the product for what they have paid for.
    +1 for your take on it.

    My only counter to that is that you will very likely be well-compensated for your perceived loss. I fully anticipate a bunch of free time, or in-game items as a result. Project Management 101 teaches that a backup is needed to appease both stakeholders and end-users for any shortfalls in failure to meet a suspense. Of course they're not going to talk about it now. Then, it would be expected; and that which is expected can't be percieved as something "extra". We'll all get something out of this after the dust settles. It will likely outweigh our perceived loss. I.E.: Five days of poor login capability = 10 days of free play time.

    Trust me it wont go underappreciated... as customer/player I'd be more satisfied to be able to enjoin it whenever I choose to, and not when a machine or a company that on start have made millions of dollars tells me when to.. Let them spend some money on resources... We did our part.
