Oh man! That definitely sounds like a frustrating experience. Just to make sure we are on the same page, it sounds like you are experiencing issues activating your iPad after a restore, specifically with a message stating that the activation server is unavailable. The following resource provides troubleshooting information for this message. Although it is titled for iPhone, the same steps apply for iPad:

Thanks for the follow up and additional information. If the issue persists after trying out the steps in the resource above, we’ll want to have someone look into this further in a personalized support experience. To do so, you can contact Apple Support or take your device to the nearest Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, you can make a reservation at the Genius Bar.
