    I went shopping and bet myself ice cream that it would be extended.

    I am comfort gobbling cookies and cream as we speak.

    Serious business, carton and spoon.

    Dammit, now I need to go to the store again! :D
    I was SO close to the extended extension of the extension time. lol

    My next prognostication is that we won't get the servers back before 8, 7.30 at the earliest.

    I had my bets on a 5:00 extension. Sadly the bet was with myself, and I have to pay me.

    Need to bet ice cream or beer. Or both.

    If this were any other game, this kind of delay would be launch-destroying.

    Maybe just roll the servers back to before servers went down at 2 am edt. Some people will lose a bit of (like 1/2 hr of) stuff on NA, but big deal. Unless they can't roll it back........... and the database got corrupted.

    Hopefully not.....

    In the meantime, EU server and PTS it is. :)

    Please, stop extending it with a couple of hours every time and just name a broader timeframe. Please.
    Now I don't do anything with my day , in the hopes that the game will work soon.
    If I would have known it would take this long, I would have done something worthwhile instead of waisting my day over it.

    So, did anyone else take today off to enjoy the first day of High Isle? Feh. Sitting on forums, reading, is not what I had in mind...

    Never take launch day off in any game. That's just asking for disappointment. ESO is actually better at this than a lot of games. I would actually consider taking day 2 off for ESO......other titles I have played??? Day 3....and there are two titles I have played that I wouldn't take a day off to play the new content til week 2.


    Yah people are talking like this is something exclusive to ESO. This is pretty common for major MMO content launches in my experience.
    How is NA always worse though?

    EU had it worse for years. It’s just our turn now.

    Dear player base,

    Due to unforeseen circumstances© all achievements for all characters have been lost on the NA server. Further, any record of earned CP points have been accidentally deleted for all characters on the NA server.

    We're very sorry for the inconvenience.

    Ah, so this is the patch where they finally implemented Elder Amoebas Online where they reduce our characters to single-celled organisms with a complete lack of any discernible identity after account wide achievements. Good to know.

    Dear ESO Players,

    We're sorry.. So sorry...
    We had many months to prepare but when it comes to launch days, we just love inconveniencing all of you players because we know you take your work day off to wait all day for us to fix any issues. We promise to inconvenience you more in the future as always.

    Gina posted the reason as " The database issues we've been investigating were causing issues involving things like guilds, mail, or could even affect your ability to log in, so this is our highest priority to fix."

    When I logged in today my guildies mentioned that the guild trader listings were really slow and the sales tracker didn't update as well - so who knows what is causing this, but it didn't work properly right from the start.

    Never take Launch Day Off. It's the next day you want off, that's when you'll get the most time in.

    If I could've, I would've - this was my option, unfortunately. And now we're pushed out to 5 PM EST.

    Well, at least it was sunny.

    I've still got 2.5 hours before I will have a chance of playing it, so as long as they don't have to extend it again, then I should be able to play.

    Testing may look ok on the PTS because it's a low volume of players compared to how many are logging in on a popular mega server the day a new chapter launches. This can exacerbate problems that weren't as evident on the PTS.

    Plus one server can have problems that the others don't, which is evident here.
