Anyone have an idea if this current maintenance will be swift or extended? (1 hour or 4 hours, or somehere in between)?

Thanks.

    We don't know how long the patch will take or if it will be applied correctly.

    In most cases Monday usually has the most downtime 2-4 hours, the Thursday maintenance is normally an hour or so unless like last week a fix has to be implemented.

    I usually do a guess the downtime contest for fun but I can't commit to it this week, but point is, no one knows how long...

    We don't know what they will be patching or if the patch notes will detail all changes.

    Patch notes will be published afterwards if applicable.

    If there is no patch (client or server) and it is just about taking the server down and bringing it back up, it is about 30 minutes

    If they have to do anything on the server side, like installing a server patch or running some maintenance task, it seems to take the standard 2-4 hours.

    I am certain that there is a patch this week. Too many bugs that they have suggested would be fixed. Hopefully, this time someone looked in the patch bin to see what version of the patch was actually in there.

    Since there is no formal guessing thread... I am guessing up by 11am EST. (3 hrs)

    Since day 1 they have never given us a down time and I'm sure they never will. They are not that good. The conspiracy out there is that ESO was not made by Zenimax. I think the Flintstones was the ones that made the game. Just my theory!

    No MMO developer with a brain gives an ETA for maintenance.

    It is a common practice for gaming developers, and software developers in general, to not give downtime estimates. That's a bad idea. With a system this complicated you want to avoid giving as many failed promises as possible - including downtime estimates.
