Server Downtime Hangout Thread June 25, 2025

arena25 · June 25

With the servers once again down for maintenance - an 18-hour one to boot - that means it's time to once again open the unofficial official server downtime hangout thread.

What are the rules? There are three:

1: All content must be kept at a PG-13 rating or below.
2: Memes, gifs, videos, pictures, etc. are all welcome and STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. Bonus points if it's ESO-related.
3: There are no other rules. HAVE FUN!

Are you ready? Of course you are. So get ready, get set, and LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED. Video link below to spark your engines.

Well I'll start with this since I'm at work. If you play on PCNA and this maintenence happens to be during your peak playtime, perhaps I have a guild for you. Moonlight Society is a social guild for the off-hour players of any kind. No discord just in game chatting and group making. Dm or search in game once maintenance is over and find some chill moonlighters to play with

.

Anyway I'll be playing some of my other steam games on geoforce perhaps some marvel rivals matches between jobs at work. What are yall doing?

LadyLethalla · June 25

Dang it, I didn't see the earlier start time - guess I won't be playing tonight.

I think you misread the 6:00pm to be am. Downtime is 12:00am EST to 6:00pm EST - 18 hours.

I never knew we had all that in the game.

So that's where the lag comes from.

EnerG · June 25

So does anyone else use spreadsheets or documents for eso, I've been playing so long I have like a Digital documeny inventory insight clone for my alts. Lol

Mofasa · June 25

The only one spreadsheet I have holds the books from the Eidetic memory collection (with links to their locations) that I'm still missing.

Haha me too.

Plugged my pc into TV so I could play in 4k. Loaded the game, maintenance underway. Oh well, I can play tomorrow.

I have 2 for tracking all Motifs and Outfit Styles, these come really handy if my guildmates want to send me something while I'm not near my PC at the moment.

Narvuntien · June 25

Well this was unexpected, this is my normal game time. I... don't know what to do right now

Well, it's actually good to know that there won't be any ESO today, so I can finally focus on other things...

When I was on console I had a spreadsheet of all the gear in my bank, chests and on each character.

Something about being organized like that even though its a game just makes me feel good, like hey I might have a spending problem when it comes to food and shoes but I know exactly where all my money goes in ESO LOL

The maintenance post says "backend database upgrades".

But there was no notice, and only yesterday the maintenance pages said none this week :-(

Yes- I have several spreadsheets started and forgotten about all over my desktop. Yeah, I'm one of those people.
