The servers are down. Not a big deal. There are plenty of other things to do while you are waiting.
I assume you have no idea how the backstage looks like, and what goes on.
I used to play (and still log on once in a while) is named Rose Online. It's an mmorpg, and it had similar effects after major and some minor updates. During testing backstage, you can only catch so many things, since that is a "clean" environment, and doesn't take into consideration the random anomalies that comes with a live server. Specially the unpredictability of the average user.
MMO's are one of the most affected types of games that tend to get their servers taken down with little to no notice, just so they can limit the damage that might have come with the update. People pick up on exploits and glitches very fast, and taking down the server prevents this pretty much immediately.
So to make it short.

Take a chill pill, it is just a game. Go do something productive. Check the server status once in a while. And sooner or later the servers will be back up.

I love how so many players assume the people remaining after the layoff are solely responsible for this patch- as if it hasn't been in the works for several weeks.

Obviously it has been in the works for a few weeks.. but I'm sure you can agree with me it should be still in the works...
