    You have a great disposable income to spend $220 on a B2P game, and just walk away in 2 days because servers are down. This crap happens in literally every online game at one point or another. I'm sure no one cares about your short lived, but highly profitable life in this game. I am disappointed about the servers being down like most others, but I have the game bought, downloaded, and ready to go, but yeah, you walk away from a game that has the same problems as every other MMO in the world. Get over yourself, child.

    BTW, you need to read the ToS again. You signed on for a game that is based online, and you accepted that *** happens. Honestly, the fewer naysayers like you around, the better the game will be for it. Thanks for supporting the game.

    Another new player has been given a particularly sour first impression of the game just recently.. While I don't condone how he's behaving, I do sort of see where he-as well as several other new players I'm noticing- are coming from.

    I don't want to bust your bubble, but. You may want to take look at a company called Solyndra (I know not a gaming company) they talked big even had a President brag how big they were, then in a span of a month, doors locked with (ex)employees standing in the parking lot asking "what the heck".
    This isn't the first time the servers have been buggy for a few days, and it certainly won't be the last. The odds that this particular time is going to cause ESO to die are incredibly slim

    Cancer is a desease! People suffer from it, it is not something 'bad' for everyone, but for the person who suffers from it and their family members, friends, stop using that expression to say that something is bad or not good for you!
    My father died from cancer, and the guy who said that "this thread is cancer" didn't offend me one bit. I happen to agree with him. This thread totally is cancer.

    Every gaming forum has people like the O.P. who shout about doomsday everytime there's a hiccup with the game. They then throw up their hands and announce that the game is dying, and it never actually does. The Sims 4 forum has those same people.

    It was a DDOS. Grow up.

    Server overloaded change the name to 'DDOs atack'.

    Simple!

    If it was server overload, why did it not affect all servers? Why did it really only impact the NA PC server? Why has it not happened previous to this past weekend? ZOS would have monitoring on their servers in regards to incoming traffic. They would be able to tell whether the traffic on it was from normal player information vs directed and intentionally malicious traffic.

    It's pretty clear it was a Ddos attack and not sever overload or anything like that.

    Those who have experienced a lot of these while playing games can easily identify them over "lag" from bad or overloaded hardware. The difference in "how" the lag plays out is a telltale sign of what is causing it.

    People are always quick to throw their thoughts and opinions when they have no idea what they are talking about.

    Aren't you happy knowing that a Super Bowl Commercial is what they chose to spend their money on? You know, 'cause *** actually spending it on server capacity or anything current players will benefit from, LOL!

    You're the definition of a "one-hit sucker" You spent enough money to add to ZOS's profit margin and your own disatisfaction stems from the fact that you did not win on a game of chance. So have fun stewing in your own pot, move on to the next game that will mount you for a financial ride and continue to drive your need for rage! Enjoy the rodeo partner!

    Players who have been here for any length of time KNOW that after a major patch there are always bugs and issues that takes weeks and sometimes months to resolve, sometimes they never do get resolved. Further, we've been experiencing a lot of server issues and maintenance much more frequently since this patch went Live as well... but again, this is nothing new after a patch. However, given the randomness of the server connectivity, how some could log on and others couldn't, are more the signs of a DDOS attack than server overload.

    novice level troll, they should make an troll raid, he might get an one of the mobs in the first mob group named after him.

    Annoyboy back before Morrowind release probably win all time because he was banned after one post a few minutes after account was created.
