SERVER CRASH AGAIN?!

DetoXx · August 2015

What do ESO's servers and my alliance level have in common?
Level 3.

I'll see myself out.

Regardless of any reporting or anything you cannot blame Zenimax for this downtime because it isn't their fault. No gaming company can be prepared for something so spontaneous that isn't even happening on their end.

Errrr. any company that doesn't have an emergency back up plan, that is kind of their fault. Not the outage in the first place, but having no contingency planning... well...

The blame would be on Level3 then, not Zenimax. It's also on the EU server host. This isn't a recurring incident though so this is one downtime that nobody has any right to gripe at Zenimax about. It's not like anyone prepares for interference from space that you can't possibly predict.

Do they pay you for this or something?

Also damn straight I want an extra day on my ESO plus sub, they should have INSURANCE to cover that.

Looks like the Level3 is down in Texas which is where the North American ESO servers are.Here is a map of the Level 3 outrages: Level 3 outages

There doesn't look like any Level 3 outages in Germany where the EU severs are.

A quote from that news link:
"Level 3 Communications, based in Broomfield, Colorado, provides Internet service via their Tier 1 network to Internet carriers in Europe, Asia, and North America. This means we will currently see problems with a range of services in the UK, Germany, and United States that all use the Level3 network."

And to be fair, many of these companies such as Level 3 are probably going to be developing plans to either prevent this from happening again if possible or to anticipate and recover faster if not.

I'm a guy that doesn't take things out on who is not to blame, that's all. Since this is a once in a blue moon incident I'm not bothered by the downtime.

it's times like this i wonder how people can bother to capitalize correctly, yet not use a single comma or period.

No, possibly after a major reboot of the sun by the sound of it

Haha, I said the same thing 3 hours ago. ;D

Did you know that makeout scene wasn't scripted at all, and Rick Moranis was just screwing around? They thought it was so funny that they just left it in.

Improvision is a many splendored thing... Or perhaps he had that line hidden under his helmet the entire time.

The first time I tried posting this a weird popup appeared and stopped me. I fear these forums are in danger of going down due to the outage too...

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Is there any one who has access to your Facebook Account there? There are a lot of people complaining about not being able to connect over on your FB page and unfortunately a lot of them are too lazy to click on what other has posted for an answer as to what is going on.

Perhaps someone making an official announcement over there might calm things down a little.

likelolwhat · August 2015

There's no dodge rolling this one, folks.

@Nebthet78 @ZOS_GinaBruno I've been following the twitter hashtags and updating people on what went down when I can, but an official ZOS tweet would help here too.
