    I bet you complained when you had to switch discs every 20 seconds when loading a game too, right? Oh and heaven forbid if you messed up the order of the discs and had to find disc 3 again after loading disc 6. It was the game maker's fault that you shuffled the discs!

    Maintenance sucks for all parties involved. Just go do real life stuff or play a different game while maintenance is happening. It is not the end of the world.

    I would suggest you all go make a game on par with ESO, and then make it perfect so no one complains about anything. Bec we all know you would make the perfect game.

    HUGS @gina_bruno , thanks for putting out one of the best games on the market.

    I know I said I wouldn't, but after the extension by 3 hours I had to check on OP. Not disappointed.

    I used to lie awake DREAMING of a floppy disk while loading off my 1530 tape drive. Then I got my 1541 drive and finally a 4040 dual! Yay for the hole punch so you could double side those babies. at least 60% of the time

    Hey guys, we know the extended maintenance is disappointing after an already long day. We ran into a couple issues that we need to resolve before opening. We're working on this as quickly as possible so everyone can log back in. Thanks for your continued patience.


    This explains everything and certainly puts everyone at ease, instilling new confidence in zos ability to continue to provide a bug free and seemless game, in which we have zero reason to complain.

    Seriously. No sarcasm. You guys are awesome at your jobs. Well done, the 11 hours downtime has allowed me to catch up on tv and sleep, safe in the knowledge that i am not missing anything at all.

    Hurrah for extended maintenance. We all needed it.

    Assuming i have continueing patience when i am complaining here,really ??

    And not even an excuse..

    What a crap company.....

    Go play another game. Your life doesn't revolve around ESO, it'll be here when you get back from whatever you choose to do.

    Thanks for apologizing in advance.

    Tandy 1000. 4.77mhz. No hard drive. Dual 5.25" floppy drives.

    Come at me.

    I remember those! We had just got one at school and were starting "Computer Education" Couldn't figure out why one was called A:/ and the other C:/ but the lower letter was more important and they were both floppies that looked the same :D

    This is rich! I quit playing around the end of 2017 and started back just 2 weeks ago. The maintenance was frequently extended back then as well, and seeing it happen now really brings back all the bad memories and experiences associated with this company and games.

    Living in Australia, you come home after work, and the maintenance is going on. You think you can play for an hour before bed, but the maintenance is extended! This is basically how I got into playing other games and lost interest in ESO. That reminds me, I can go back to playing other games XD

    My friend had the model with the floppies. I wasn't able to convince my parents I needed a computer until senior year of high school. Mine was an IBM PCjr.

    When I took Computers in high school, our computers were old. I saved my programming on PAPER TAPE!!! So glad my high school was stuck in the '40s....

    People kvetching about downtimes always make me giggle. "NVR B4 IN THE HISTRY OF GAMING HAS THEIR BEN DOWNTIMEZ LIIK THUS!"

    Except for that one time in that one game....oh, and that time in that other one. And those 6 months in that really big game I played for a while that seemed to be broken every other day after a new expac....

    Reminds me of Neanderthals attempting to explain science.

    Let me sum up this thread RQ.

    "Our entire self worth is tied directly to how much and how often we are able to log into ESO. We're going to make hyperbolic statements and inflate my subscription's value until it is on par with the average global GDP. Yes, were the kids in grade school who still had their pacifiers. Power to the pacifier people!!"

    They will fix things nobody was complaining about and leave bugs that are gamebreaking for all of us since months (sometimes even years). Great Job ZOS! With each day you're closer to a moment when your player base will start to shrink rapidly, but when you'll wake up it will be to late. You haven't learnt nothing from the past, when you;ve lost majority of old players. Maybe when there will be 500 players left we will have no problems with performance.
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.


    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    First and foremost , I am one that usually keeps quiet during such events...: delayed maintenance,
    delayed bug fixes and whatnot.

    Right now though, I am getting pissed.
    Pissed , since I pay Eso Plus since Day One (that I started Eso, so bout almost 2 years)
    and cant get nowhere tagging solo with the Dungeon Finder since its F$#%^ broken...
    Pissed, that I cannot even farm gears with a full group because the damn DF still f#$%^ up!
    Pissed , that even if we teleport to the desired instance, its buggy, laggy as hell , reminds me
    of the old EQ or FFXIV days , where you'd wait like a moron for 4 hours to get kicked out
    of a dungeon...not because you were voted out or that your cpu is crap, just because the game
    and its devs cant seem to be able to fix simple issues.

    So , whomever might be controlling the chimps and hamsters at ZOS : "How about
    finding a job as a Politician?"...Just saying, that with the amount of BS we are told,
    might as well have an actual press conference bout it...at least we'd be actually
    kept informed of the actual of the current state of the game...

    Nevermind that, like politicians, ZOS PR hamsters are unable to deliver either results
    or be actually honest in whatever it is currently happening.
    So I'll go fap to something that isnt animated cartoons and perhaps see actual improvement
    on that game.

    Otherwise, like so many other mmo's that went down the gutter..ill move on and so
    will most people playing it.

    Saddens me to see an actually good game being wasted away by uncaring Devs
    and money-grabbing chimps.

    My first internal hard drive was only 5Mb and about the size of a modern miniITX PC.

    At school, I learnt programming using punch cards on a terminal by having to walk to our local technical (each week) which was connected to a mainframe in London.

    Oh, the good old days :)

    Would you rather they DIDN’T fix the issues they’ve found just so you can play?

    Good thing OP wasn't around at launch when it was 2 maintenance days a week! Lmao!!
    And as has been stated we have gone a few weeks without maintenance so it is to be expected.
    Also this is a patch maintenance so those take a little longer.

    Also, playing "off and on for just 2 years" does not make one an expert on ESO's maintenance schedule, so your "facts" OP are not facts.
