Timeframe

- Sunday 09/11: patch 1.5.3 gets released by accident and prevents players from logging in after patching for most of the day [more details here]
- Tuesday 11/11: patch 1.5.3 (the real one) gets half-released with an older version being uploaded
- Thursday 13/11: patch 1.5.4 adds the bug fixes originally included in 1.5.3
- Tuesday 18/11: patch 1.5.5 works properly
- Tuesday 25/11: patch 1.5.6 is canceled after 7 hours of maintenance and the server is brought back online with the previous version. [official news]

While I appreciate bugs and issues being addressed, I do not consider this to be the appropriate result of a professionnal patching process.
When EU patches failed twice in 3 days, it was still something to laugh about, but now after the 3rd mistake in the 1.5.X series I'm not that inclined to find humor in the situation.

ZOS, please don't make mistakes like this again.

While we are implementing multiple patches, hotfixes and new content, we always want to make sure the game environment remains stable for players.

As stated in various officials messaging, we will share updates later as we get them and provide more information about the patch 1.5.6 hitting the European megaserver. Stay tuned right there: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/141190/
