What will happen to our purchased boosts? As long as the server is down, the duration of our boost will just expire? If that's the way it works, it feels like we got robbed. We demand compensation for this.

...Doesn't it just tick down during the time that you're online, playing? I'm pretty sure...Though I've never purchased a boost, myself, this is usually how it works with games.
Someone else posted during the last extended downtime a few weeks ago that they're just gone. CS was no help, apparently.
Boosts are based on real time, they do not refund for them and they will not provide compensation unless they decide to do a community wide thing like the last time they screwed up. Since they screwed up again, albeit worse than before, so they might give us something again. But I wouldn't hold your breath on the idea.

I thought the boosts are still bugged anyways to waste your money on it cause they do not work yet
Unfortunately, either you play or not, the duration of our boosts still tick down.
They don't work for clans. Individual boosts still work.Originally Posted by TheMilkman

With the original down time listed as an Approximate 4 hours, add in that for a second time in a row, a major patch has rendered the game inoperable, resulting in a current actual downtime of 11 hours plus, I would Hope they offer something as compensation, but realistically I doubt one will be dispensed
Other games' similarly priced "boosts" are 1 month long. Cheaper ones are 1 week long. Multiple month boosts are more, but you save yourself a few bucks over buying monthlies. Defiance boosts are 24 hours.... Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.
Other games boosts tick down only when servers are up. Defiance should be the same. Even so, 24hrs is too little for the price. They need to look at the competition and price accordingly. Also, considering how long patching takes, you wouldn't get to use a 24hr boost even if it only ticked down when the game server was up.
Edit
Oh and did I mention these MMOs are free to play? Patches (or DLC) are also free. They are sustained on Game Store alone. They're good too! They're not crap. So....
I'm not trying to be argumentative here at all, but clearly "24 hours is too little for the price" just doesn't hold water because many, many people are still buying them.
I haven't purchased a single thing with bits in this game, since I noticed from day 1 that people weren't getting what they paid for...items were missing, boosts weren't lasting the full amount of time (even WITH the "always on" nature of them factored in), etc. and CS was telling them there was nothing they could do. People are losing actual real money, and they still haven't fixed the issue....why are so many people still giving up their hard earned money? It's beyond me....
I think the responsible thing would be for Trion to remove the cash shop until they get the issue resolved. Until that happens (and we know it probably wont), I continue to just advise people not use it for anything, because you truly are gambling with your money.
