Har. You're talking about a game that experienced a good 4 or 5 days of either no servers available or really spotty activity that left people trapped in loading screens, BGs and dungeons.

Then, yesterday, in what Blizzard swears was normal maintenance, mail gets lost, and the servers are again down for the entire day and much of the night for most people. They come back up, and suddenly some PvP gear is available for free, and the servers go right back down again.

And I'm supposed to take off work under the assumption WoW will even be remotely playable tomorrow? Or Friday? I think not. Bailing on work might better be saved for sometime next week.
