I doubt the server will be lost for ever.
They will have dozens of backups, going back months.
I seem to recall in the past that when players had their characters deleted (for whatever reason) GOA were always able to retrieve them from backups. Certainly up to the last patch anyway.
If it's hardware related, then they buy a new server and install Prydwen on it. If it's software related, then the backups will save the day.
So, don't worry. Everything will be fine. The worst thing that can logically happen is a rollback.
