What should the consolation prize be?

Games have problems that cause extended downtime all the time, but the difference between a good experience and a bad experience is the consolation prize. After the servers are back up you want your players to say, "I may not have liked the downtime but I am glad it happened because I got...." The question is, what do we put in the blank? Personally, I would like to see every account given free Zen (except for those that are getting banned of course). DDO and LOTRO did this a few months ago when they had some extended downtime. Other possibilities would be giving people gold or astral diamonds (though due to the cause of the downtime we don't really need any more astral diamonds in the world), experience boost, crafting experience boost, or something else.
What do you think the consolation prize should be?

Or a new fresh server to start on?
2) Actually renaming AD to cats, and devaluate it so 10000 AD = one cat. Having to pay too many cats for somethng would be silly.
3) Cat based vanity item, like cat ears.
4) Make the nest top tier boss based on nyancat.
5) Rename sunday to caturday in game in memory of today.
6) Title for all current accounts: "Cat-astrophe Survivor"
My best guess, they bring up the servers with whatever the outcome, lay it on thick with the "We're so very sorry" and are done with it. No bonus, no gift, no event.
(First part I am actually serious about even though I know it ain't happening)

Cheers!
That would make no sense because there already is a Caturday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Caturday, Caturday just wouldn't work.
I would settle for this as well.

Very small amount of Zen to all non-exploiting players. Say 500 or so. 500 buys you 2 character slots; it's one of the cheapest purchases in the Zen store and, frankly, one of the silliest because two character slots is insanely prohibitive compared to all other MMO's out there - even other F2P's. It's the one thing I've actually considered purchasing Zen for at this point in time. And players who do not wish to purchase character slots with their 500 Zen have other options available - though I won't joke about converting them to AD at this time.
I think I'd like this most.
Or maybe a cat companion with an exclusive skin for those of us here for this.
Don't be silly, this is the forgotten realms! There is no caturday here. Until now.
"Burn and pillage!" <- the F2P players.

Can it be this loading screen?
Just more Kolbolds
A city of them. With Kolbold merchants, and Kolbold fighters.
And A Kolbold player race and Kolbold warrior glass that throws Kolbold based items like glue and more Kolbolds
TL;DR Kolbold the hell outta it.
It's never gonna happen they always get their way. All i can say is I hope these cheaters and scumbags get rewarded with bad karma and they can't stop that now can they
How about kitty litter, and a pan to put it in!
XCheers!
The first day I started I read somewhere that they were planning on combining all 3 shards into a single server at some point down the road so everyone could play together, but no idea if that is true or not.
