It's a scam email, fishing for info etc, don't have anything to do with it.

It's just a re-post of their official announcement btc-e made on these forums a few hours ago.

What's the problem? (Other than that it suggests more delays before the exchange is active again)

"goodgroove.pl?" that looks legitimate to you? btc-e has told us that information will be published through their forum account and twitter. they mentioned nothing about this email or its instructions, and they warned against such phishing scams. it's pretty obviously a scam.

really hate their approach to give announcement in russian like they don't give a shit about rest of the world

Gee, could that be because there is like 10 times the discussion on the Russian forum than there is here?
They are posting where the majority read.

yup, the russian threads are 10x more active. maybe more. btc-e said 70% of its user base is russian-speaking, and they want feedback on their proposed solutions.

What I don't understand is the 45% Token they are offering. I was all in ETH. Does that mean that if 45% of my ETH is worth $10k at current market rates, they are going to give me $10k in their token to spend on ETH or BTC or whatever? So I can just buy ETH again and be back where I was when they crashed? I would hope so...

nothing is official yet. they are still deciding how to deal with balance recalculation. it sounds like what will likely happen is you will get 55% of your ETH back, and 45% back as an ETH-denominated token (which will supposedly be repaid in ETH). this doesn't seem like the best idea, since it breaks all the token liquidity into different markets. maybe they are hoping that token/BTC markets will develop just like altcoin/BTC markets.
