I think we all agree that the gameplay is amazing, and its just these server issues that are hurting possibly kill the game.
If this really is "early (cant play) access" and they are expecting even more players I think if they don't fix these issues the games gonna die again and lose a large percentile of players.
For those of you out there who have the mindset of "Let them leave, weren't dedicated" blah blah. Simple fact is the more money the game brings in theoretically the more service and quality that the player will see.
