    I think...
    my guess that it's some kind of Denial-of-Service(DoS) attack?...

    This happens when the servers get overwhelmed with unusually high amounts of log in requests. Which is too much for the servers to handle. The problems it causes are delayed log in times, sudden and constant disconnections, slow performance/ load times, and not being able to access the game and or certain servers.

    Sometimes it can take up to a few days for the servers to return back to normal.

    Luckily there are cyber security, I.T, server technicians, and others that are currently working on investigating the issue, fixing the servers, and are solving the problem.

    They are working on resolving this issue as fast as they can. Once the problem is solved then everyone will enjoy being able to play the game again. 😉

    My guess is that there's a little congestion; something that's bound to happen at peak times during events or (for future warning: in the first hour or two when a new release comes online). Just wait for when Update 39 goes live!

    Even AWS can be set on fire if enough people pile on at once and Amazon's AWS service is gargantuan and scalable if my sources are correct. Over in another game, which won't be named, we all sometimes pile on for a fresh release (which is part of testing ... oups, I said too much already! :lol: ) and well, there are login queues out past an hour.

    Don't forget your marshmellows and some tender young redgum twigs to roast them in the server fires.

    This is kind of response we need from ZOS instead of their stone cold silence. If it was an attack or anythingwe would understand and be a lot more compliant to the situation insead of highly irritated like we are now,

    I got hit yesterday morning with a 1 hr 15 min queue (PC/NA) but it actually popped in 15 minutes, and was able to log in again later that evening without a queue.

    It's very possible that this was out of their control so I'm not going to rage quit the game, but the silence from ZOS on this is deafening. I know they don't owe us an explanation but it sure would be nice to get one.

    They got new server upgrades. When there is a new upgrade there are always a few bugs and glitches. Then they quickly read the reports, investigate, and then fix the issues accordingly.

    Here to say, and totally necro, that this still happens at least once a week, non peak times, entering the SEVENTH month.
    I_CraftwithPntButter: 2023 is the year your supposed to be doing better , remember ? Advice for the future : com·mu·ni·ca·tion (noun)the imparting or exchanging of information or news.KlauthWarthog: Well, they can definitely measure fun on their spreadsheets, otherwise they would not be able to nerf it so consistently.
