I work in IT. If we let an external facing site go down without some form of customer notification at the least, my entire team would be taken out back and shot. No backup servers? Lord knows they make enough money.
good for you. but backup servers are like relics from another age. who runs on physical hardware these days... if you want to do it properly you have infra as code and you redeploy the entire stack from your git repo minus the latest patch. But since we do not know what the issue was that too is speculation. for all we know they could have been sufering from some ddos attack ( bad security, I could go on and on about that one ) or their hosting provider could have had a problem in their datacenter.
Anyhow , the game is working again and we can all play out our frustrations on the clan boss or tower of Doom

but our double xp time and double chance on void shards are wasted and some people pay for raid cards. It would be the least to give a compensation.
