    Hey all, apologies for the delay in updating. We're currently having QA test the NA server to make sure we're solid, and are planning to open around 5pm EDT (less than an hour from now).

    From 1pm EDT, to 4pm EDT, to now 5pm EDT.... until the next problem which will make it 8pm EDT.

    I'm sorry, but you all are a joke. People thanking you for your vague responses are also a joke. No way should any of you be thanked for such a poorly run system. The whole purpose of your existence is to run this game for those who have paid for it. Every week it is one thing or another for the longer and longer down times. At this rate, you will not have many players left to continue your existence on the internet.

    You weren't around when EverQuest 1 had their legendary downtimes, were you? Their downtime made the game unplayable for 24-48 hours. And yet, here the game is... 17 years later, going strong.

    Try again, though.

    I never played that game, nor would I if the game was unplayable 24-48 hours at a time. I'm sure it would be going stronger if they didn't have such high unplayable times. Losing one paying customer due to long down times from a business sense is one too many. This is one reason why I will never be a stock holder in the gaming industry, as I would be demanding answers to such downtimes and possible loss of revenue.

    Entitled much?

    exactly.

    When this kind of thing happen, I wish my riding skill got leveled up automatically every 20h as long as I have the 250g on my inventory ~.~
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Everquest was an amazing game it's time, well worth the maintenance time...oh the memories.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno how about the FPS/LAG issues at cyrodill ? it'll be fixed soon too ? please say yes, please say yes..

    We've been making many small improvements over the past few months, and have found that performance has actually improved quite a bit. You can see specific comments from our Lead PvP Designer in a few threads such as this or this.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno
    Not trying to be a pain but, did you guys not consider the "better performance in pvp" was due to the massive number of players going to play the updated PVE content effectively taking a huge amount of people out of Cyrodiil for a temporary time period?
    As soon as everyone finishes obtaining their gear, people will be back in Cyrodiil & the lag will return too.

    The Struggle is Real when I use my second precious post to comment on the Downtime. Also usually my client would usually download client patch well before the server came up. I think maybe they need to issue client updates before they announce the server is back up. Patches seem to work better when they are applied to both server and client. Unless that was a for real Troll-Post. If it was. Im Impressed.

    What? EQ legendary downtimes? EQ2 and WoW had crazy downtimes I played EQ since beta and after a DLC they would have a 20hour downtime, maintenance would be Wednesday at 1am PST. Are you being sarcastic about 17 years later going strong thing because do people still play?

    The game still has a strong player base. Considering the game is still up after 17 years, I'd say it's still going strong. Hell, on my server there, there's tons of people to group with (ya know, instead of being anti-social and complaining that there's no groups around).

    Can you imagine the ESO community playing EQ ? The corpse runs were LEGENDARY !

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks so much for your patience during today's extended maintenance, and we do apologize for the frustration it's caused. The North American PC/Mac megaserver is now back online and open.

    Still shows Realm Status as Offline for me when I load my launcher (didn't have it running during downtime) and no "Update" listed, only "Play".

    EDIT: Sorry, didn't see there was a reply later on, I thought I was at the end of the thread already when I replied. :)

    I also wish my hireling emails would stack.

    It's a pain to log in twice a day, exactly 12 hours apart (especially on workdays) just to get my hireling emails consistently. Frankly, it would be helpful if it were every 11 hours, not 12, just so that I don't constantly lose a few minutes each day, throwing off my morning schedule. I skip one cycle on the weekends just to normalize Monday mornings. And this current maintenance just further knocks the cycle out of whack.
