Good to see regular updates on this - also can appreciate that giving an ETA is not an exact science... but always better to see communication instead of silence.
Just take a drink every time the maintenance is extended. You may die before the servers are up but at least the wait is better.
We are closing in on the next ETA so I'm grabbing a beer. If it's extended I will drink it, if servers come up I will also drink it so it will be a win either way. This is what's good about the Eso drinking game, we are all winners.
Can we start discussing why ZOS is the only company not giving any compensation when their unexpected serverdowntimes keep us from playing during primetime?

Not everyone goes by Eastern Time. Did you conveniently forget the folks in Europe are actually in a different time zone? I know you guys like to think there is no universe outside of USA and all, but please, have some bloody respect for your EUROPEAN customers!
Just so folks know, ETA will be 18:30 GMT.
I'm in BST, and to be fair it's not hard to google "1:30 edt in bst", which then yields what time it would be in my timezone. Same goes for GMT
I know, but it just smacked of yet more proof that ZOS do not give a rats behind about its European customers. So sick of everything being Americanised. You know, everything going the way of the dumbest country on Planet Earth.
This so-called "dumbest country on Planet Earth" is where the game was made and the company running it is based. ZOS is using the time zone they're in, not because they're trying to stick it to the EU players, but because of convenience. Remember that not all Americans actually have the same time zone either. Just google a time zone converter if it bothers you that much.
If you look past the salt and rage he does have a point.
Whenever a game that is based in america goes down for maintenance its usually during core euro playing hours and many players see that as the techs and developers and publishers just not giving a rats ass about them which too be fair considering this happens a lot is a fair assumption to make.
This though is a bit weird when they have two separate mega servers to bring down separately which they have done in the past.
Unless something Idk has happened.
Way I see it, considering it's a different time for everyone in the world, I don't know what the schedule could be changed to where there is no one being shafted by the maintenance times. I'll admit, my previous post just came from me being tired of the unfortunately common "lol americans are all stupid" trope that I see absolutely everywhere. Apparently we're the rude ones too with that in mind. I'll just end this thought here so it doesn't get more off topic, hope the server gets back up soon so this madness goes on pause until the next maintenance.

Wait a moment!
Why have you chose some traders/crafters against Nord warriors?
I will pick IMPENETRABLE ORCS vs Yours IMPENETRABLE NORDS!
Checkmate?
