So, we all download the patch yesterday, wait for it to install, and the servers aren’t online. And they still aren’t. And they still aren’t.
They had just come up when my GF came over around 8pm to study for a Literature exam, but I didn’t get a chance to log-in before I had to start down the list of essay topics.
At one point, I went to my roomie’s room to see how the weather looks and see what Furious was doing, but he was playing on Uproar.com because the server had only been up for an hour before doing down again.
So I lost one night of playing. Why am I mad, then?
I had over 50g in auctions posted with over 4g in deposits. When I signed on this morning before work, only one auction was successful for 33s and some change. I had to re-list everything. We should get our deposits back for ALL of yesterday’s auctions because no one had a chance to buy them. They must have made tens of thousands in gold yesterday in auctions that expired at their hands. I realize that things may truly have been bad with the patch, but good companies don’t screw ALL of their customers like that without making ammends.

None of the above. Grin and bear it. It’s a game run by humans, there are going to be hiccups. In other words, it’ll be nice if they compensate you for the lost deposits, but no real reason to be outraged if they don’t.
Devil’s advocate mode: what the hell were you doing listing so many auctions right before patch/maintenance day, anyway? =)
