I decided to edit this from what my post used to be, for those who prefered that don't worry, it's quoted at the bottom (= but for those like me who need something a bit more substancial, please read.
Step 1: Ohnoes! My PIXELS!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Getting over the initial shock.
You're probably in the missing pixels stage right now, so this will help get you through it.
What to do?
A. Close your eyes and breathe.
The GM's at R2, work to make this game enjoyable for us. Posting all your threads about boredom striking and the like, will not help them do their job faster, nor does it encourage them to do so. Maybe it's just my personality, but if someone were to whine and cry about something taking too long, I'd indeed expand it, just for the pure pleasure of torture. So just relax, a minute - the GM's WILL have the game back up and running, it just requires a little bit of patience, and perhaps alot of occupying yourself.
Step 2: OMGOMGOMGOMG TOO LONG TOO LONG I'M FALLING ASLEEP ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZ
Finding something to occupy yourself with.
This task isn't as hard as it seems, there's plenty of things that you may do while the servers are down. Below, is a compiled list of things that you may enjoy.
A. Things to do on the triple w.
1. Search for some fun images. Demotivationals, quirky quotes/smart *** things that'll make you laugh.
2. Cruise youtube! Find some type of video you enjoy watching, whether it be guest appearences on the Ellen show, or rufflestomp pwn videos of Crystal Saga... or even some dry humor given to you by Russel Peters. All are great ways to kill an hour or two.
3. Check your social networking sites. Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Tumblr, Myspace, and whatever other sites there are like this.
4. (is for them lonely people who think that Crystal Saga is the newest expansion to eHarmony) Try to find your perfect match on matchmaking sites... If you don't have the money for sites like eHarmony, or Lavalife - Plentyoffish is a good way to pass your time.
5. Read through the guides on the forums and learn more about the game you're playing - perhaps you may find something insufficient - this is where you put your brain to work and elaborate on how to make the guide better for all them silly noobs!
B. Things to do in the real world
yes, the real world.
1. Read a few chapters of a book.
2. Watch a movie
3. Wash that dirty body off, christ you smell like a dumpster!
4. Watch some anime, or tv shows!
5. Shave that scruff off for dem ladies on eHarmony! they don't want to date a bum!
6. Get into crafts or hobbies! put together a puzzle with your grandparents, rock out on a guitar
7. Pull out one of the infamous console systems! wii, xbox, super nes, playstion - there's plenty to choose from!
8. Get out of the damn house! Go for a bike ride, or a walk - or a drive! Remember what the taste of FREEEEEEDOM is like now that you're away from them pesky pixels and jail cell
9. Practise your socializing skills with the house - see how much better you feel when you're not trolling people from around the world!

Here's some suggestions:
brush your teeth.
read a book.
go for a walk, ride a bike, go roller blading.
listen to music.
have a shower/bath.
socialize with the household.
or any other way you can think of to occupy yourself.
just don't qq on the forums for the gm's taking a little longer then anticipated to make the game better for us.
have some patience. the time will come
and in closing... if you think the game being down for 3 hours is bad for a FREE game.... try paying $60 for diablo 3 and having them take the game down for 12+ hours at a time, and even 1-3 hours 3-5 times daily.
