    In all seriousness I've gotta admit that the maintenance thing is really becoming a drag. Only been playing a month or so now but finding a lot of the time I can't play due to the maintenance. It's making me sad! It's such a great game but the downtime is a little frustrating. :'(

    The only good thing that all this maintenance has done is made me come to the forums and give insightful comments or listen to sage advice. That and see some of the batguano polls that people come up with. Being in GMT+12 is suffering.

    What I dislike about the maintenance in general though is that it seems that every single maintenance is 5-6 hours.

    I'm Australian and the timing is the worst. Prime playing hours, 6pm to whenever it finishes. Guess I need to start organising my social life based on the maintenance schedule! :D

    My brother in law lives in Melbourne. Beautiful country Dallasali, really impresive. :)

    If the maintenance work would take just short as in other games, i would not care. But here, where it may take a day, I give you right.

    not another day of maintenance its 12 now then we have store and account server at 3pm really? Something was very wrong last night as loading screens got longer and longer, then couldn't login. Really there's almost no point having an eu server if there is going to be day maintenance.

    I agree that the usually long maintenance times are a pain. And therefore I am grateful that Elder Scrolls Legends seems to run on a different set of servers :) . I created an acount a few days ago and having a lot of fun. For someone who loves the Elder Scrolls universe it is worth a look. And I finally can get to ignore Hearthstone now...

    While the blues ended for the European Megaserver, I am afraid that the North American blues will go on a bit longer.

    The maintenance of the North American server has been extended. At this time we expect the server to be back online during the afternoon.

    Ok, this is freaking ridiculous.

    The ENTIRE economy of ESO revolves around one mechanic: the Kiosk flipping time. It used to be that the bids closed at 5 minutes to 8 Eastern, flip happened at 8 Eastern, and then servers went down for maintenance. During the winter, there was an extra hour to run around looking for a stall if you happened to lose. While it isn't ideal to have maintenance happen directly AFTER the kiosk flips, it is SO MUCH BETTER than having your maintenance time DIRECTLY in conflict with this one mechanic.

    Please ZOS: Get your *** together. This new maintenance time, and its direct conflict with the Kiosk mechanic on the PC/NA server is INSANE. Whoever thought this was a good idea should be taken out back and flogged.

    For the love of The Eight: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE move the maintenance time back to 8 AM Eastern on Monday. Or 8:15 Eastern. Or any day but Monday. OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THIS CRAP IT CURRENTLY IS.

    Unbelievable. The NA server has seen so much downtime over the last couple of weeks already. This is simply ridiculous at this point.

    As a matter of fact, we do have plans! We'll start discussing details after we get through Update 11 madness (don't forget, it still hasn't launched on consoles).

    The EU server had far more downtime in the past month than the NA did. Now it's our turn :smile:

    I would rather have the NA servers be down then to fight with continuous issues. Quit complaining about it already. I am actually encouraging ZoS to step up their game, and fix these issues.

    They EXPECT it to be up later this afternoon. That doesn't mean that it will be.

    It MIGHT be up tomorrow.

    Once again, I ask hopefully can we get an actual ETA.... in the afternoon is not only frustratingly vague it also means loss of another full day for what is supposed to be routine maintenance.

    If routine maint takes more than 6 hours you have a serious problem in your environment.

    Maybe stop adding new things until you figure out how to maintain your servers reliably.

    You must have a very short memory if you don't even remember how long server was down this year. How it went down at anniversary cake earlier than it was planned, and then how it wouldn't come back after people discovered ESO+ Survey Map exploit. That's only first two things that came to my mind just now.

    Perhaps a new revenue stream for the Crown store? I wouldn't put it past them at this point!
