Weekly Maintenance

RazzPitazz

So when will the PC crowd get this back? We haven't had a routine maintenance schedule since console launch (which isn't that long) but it already seems like a habit is forming to turn PC maintenance into a bi-weekly thing, when the servers start bogging down by a week and a half. I understand there are now 6 megaservers to tackle with maintenance and 4 of those are for consoles with only 5 days of work in a given week, BUT I would rather the maintenance be pushed off a few days than a whole week.
Perhaps a 10 day rotation?

I tried mentioning this and got told off, thread closed - so in b4 close!

But I agree 100%, every time it is left longer than a week the game starts to struggle, this is complex code and needs resetting on a regular basis.

We haven't had a routine maintenance since TU, and they stated it would be that way. I see no problem with them keeping their word...

Im reading this in sarcasm. If it was not meant sarcastically then I fixed it as I was reading it.

From their own help area :

When does scheduled weekly maintenance occur?

Regular Maintenance Times
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited undergoes regular maintenance to provide you with the best service possible. We have scheduled the following windows for this purpose, although we may not need to use them every week:

North American Megaserver
Monday 8:00 am EDT (14:00 CEST)

European Megaserver
Monday 10:00 pm EDT (Tuesday 4:00 am CEST)

Most maintenance periods will last for no more than a few hours. During these times, we'll deploy patches, server optimizations, database updates, hardware upgrades, and perform other routines that keep ESO running smoothly.

EDT - Eastern Daylight Time
CEST - Central European Summer Time

They do specify they may not use them and I am not accusing them of dishonesty merely of making a poor choice in this instance, those of us who have been playing for a while know all to well what happens to the game when they don't choose to maintain.
