At first my thought was, what makes you think I'm glad they are taking down the main servers for two months?
But at this point, yeah, actually I am glad. I'm glad they are doing something significant to push updates to the server in a way they clearly haven't been able to in the past. Even if it's probably going to hurt their bottom line in the end, and probably already has been, I'm glad they had the guts to make a significant, serious gamble in order to improve the health of the server even at the cost of a short term loss. It speaks well of their current direction, and even if I don't play on Chaos anymore, it's encouraging when looking at the prospects of the new server.
It would be easy for them to drip feed those changes over the next two years to you, or not give them to you at all and just keep saying Soon . But they didn't. So keep complaining about finally getting the updates you guys have been waiting years for, I'm sure that'll encourage the staff to work harder for you guys.
The idea that they are bringing down the servers just to push RT is asinine and childish. They got thousands of players on both Classic and Restart without having to do so - so many players the servers were struggling under the load. I remember those lagfests quite well - we were not strapped for population at all when those servers opened. Giving the option to keep playing something while the servers are down is a reasonable thing to do, even if it's not to your personal liking.
