    The game is only 3 months old and maintenance twice a week has been standard since the beginning (even if the specific days have changed).

    Please, if you're so good at coding, offer your services to the developers.

    Just rolled your first character? 'Cause TESO has had 2 scheduled maintenance per week since launch. And yes, currently the game does need them.

    Yesterday was not a "patch" per say -- it was an update that gives us new content. We also skip the maintenance this Monday for it. Today, it is just a normal maintenance day. Also, all new MMO's will have more updates then those who been around for years and years.

    ZOS is trying to fix and improve the game for us players. We should be supportive of their work.

    It's actually quite cost effective...

    TBH I would be more upset if I was paying $15 and there was no maintenance. I have no problem with them fixing issues.

    Welcome to Tamriel (:
    People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

    There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.

    Help make this compilation complete!

    So... where's the game you developed? I'd like to see it. It must be impressive.

    Also, there are some games that have a short maintenance period every single day so I don't know why you are complaining.

    Yeah. It is uncommon. Usually just 1 maintenance per week in other games. Patch size - due to different zoning and coding it is probably impossible but WoW had a great system where you could just DL the most important parts of the new patch and play already while still DL the rest.

    Really? your going to use that as A way to dismiss what i said? that's like saying you can't criticize a pro football player or sports figure or travel service unless you've done it as well come on really? I am not saying the game is a bad game I rather enjoy it so much so I get a little miffed when i can't play it :) . Just new to MMO's and was not aware of so many maintenance periods needed.

    Yeah, because your OP wasn't snarky at all.

    Sorry for the snark (though Im snarky offline too, it's not something I save for the internet).

    We get that question a lot. At some point in the future, they'll probably get maintenance down to once a week, but the game is still so new that it's reasonable (imo) to still have it twice.

    Welcome to Tamriel. Come for the adventure, stay for the cheese! (with Sheogorath, of course)

    2 days of maintenance is required. Monday is "patch day" and Thursday is "fix Monday's patch day".
