I'd say I'm never logging off again, but I didn't log off. I crashed while zoning. *sigh* Well, once 3am rolls around the servers might be clear enough to log in.
WoW's launch had lots of hilarious bugs (loot lag travelling everywhere kneeling, random places on the ground where you'd just suddenly fall over dead from massive falling damage), but at least we could play. And when we couldn't, there were either queues or maintenance, none of this half-and-half am I going to be able to play or not wondering and continually trying again doubtless making the situation worse. And we had paid time added to our accounts for the days the maintenance used up. Every patch day afterward tended to be bad, but it was almost always tidied up within 36 hours.
