ESO is down for maintenance in the middle of Monday morning when school is out & players want to play. Oh well, guess we are forced into playing a competitor's game.

    They don't care if your in school or not. When would you suggest they solve these problems? Maybe you should take a Xanax, take a walk outside, and come back and not game for a few hours.

    Maintenance is almost over. But yeah maybe they should do it during non primetime hours like Friday night or Saturdays.

    it would be better if they switched the EU and US maint times...I don't see why 8am is better than 3am when most US players are probably sleeping.

    When they decide what time to schedule the regular maintenance and patch times, they choose it based on having monitored and observed which times of the day typically has the least amount of traffic.

    As somebody who works some really odd hours and therefore play many late-night and early hour sessions, I can state with relative confidence that 8am ET is pretty close to when the American servers are the most noticeably at the lowest population. And it's stays a very low population until around 5 or 6 hours later.

    Most people who play these games are actually standard working class people who don't get home until after 5pm on average. Sounds like you need a summer job.

    Prime Time ? Inigo Montoya would like a word with you.
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    Server maintenance is normally done during the wee hours of the night. Because the fewer customers a business inconveniences, the more customers the business has. I want ESO to succeed.

    While the middle of the night would make a lot more sense .. this is not prime time.

    But see, that's just it. If it was something that ZOS's customers needed while they were at work (assuming a regular 8-5, M-F job), maybe the maintenance times would be different. But unless people have really great jobs with a lot of downtime so they can play while they're at work, less people are going to be in the game in the mornings. And I don't know a lot of school kids who get out of bed at 8:00 am to game.

    I'm on Eastern Daylight Time, and the vast majority of people I know play in the evenings or in the middle of the night. At this hour of the day, most of them are either working or sleeping. I know there are second- and third-shifters for whom this is not the case, but evidently there are less of them playing at this time as well. ZOS didn't pick this timeframe arbitrarily; they have data and measures that tell them what peak times and low times are.

    At the risk of giving too much credit, I think the figure of speech 'Tongue-in-cheek' may apply in this case...

    Maybe :o

    They have already stated that they picked the time of day that their data showed the least amount of people played hence affecting the least amount of people. These complaints about any time other than the time they have picked is absolutely absurd on your part because you have no data to back your claims while ESO does have the data.

    1. Morning isn't prime time.

    17+. Barring seniors and a few juniors, kids that'd be going to school (and not college) probably shouldn't be playing this game anyways.

    I can not believe that 8:00 on a Monday in the Summer has less traffic than 4:00 or 5:00 am on a Monday.
