Thank you for this reply.

Still wondering about the main part of my question though which i didn't read about in your post.

Does SE plan to COMPENSATE us for our lost time that we've paid for??
Ive had the game since first day of early access and have gotten to play about 1/3 the time that i would have been able to play had the servers been online.
Considering everyone has PAID for their service and is not receiving it, will they be planning to add additional time onto our accounts to COMPENSATE for that lost time?
