What angers me the most is that they will not acknowledge that there is a problem. I have not seen such circus since the beginning days of Everquest. An announcement that they know there is a problem and are working to fix it would go a long way.

Tomorrow they start a promotion to sell more ESO+ subscriptions. As usual, the Marketing department is pushing for more revenue while they obviously can't serve the current customer base adequately. I do not have a subscription and I only paid 13 bucks for the game so pulling the plug and moving on isn't really a big deal for me. They screwed up once, they got a second chance. They won't get a third one.

So, if they aren't taking notice of the complaints what can one do? Those of you who are ESO+ subscribers can send a message by revoking your membership until they acknowledge the problem and do something about it. The people who talked me into buying this game a couple of months ago are pissed enough to do just that. Yesterday they cancelled their subscription starting next month. They will re-subscribe when they can play the game again. If enough people do that Zenimax WILL take notice.

    I just died where I could see my health go down and the wolves attacking me but I could not attack back. This is stupid. If I can't attack them they should not be able to attack me. Dumb way to setup a client/server configuration.

    LOL 10 million players now according to firor.

    The real problem isnt the game its the stupidity of consumers. Its almost like U.S. politics, everyone *** about this or that, but in the end only 50-55% of the people vote max.

    Zos isnt going to fix *** until CUMULATIVELY the consumers of the game postpone their consumption until it gets fixed. When that happens, everything you want will happen in a timely and efficient manner.

    I know it sucks but thats how it is, follow the money.

    I did cancel my subscription. I don't want to go but I can't play like this so why give them the money.

    Canceled mine too. For this to be happening to so many people they should have looked into it by now. It's been a week. It's not just the holiday since it started a week ago.

    I would have stayed if they just said, oh btw there's a problem, we're working on it. But to ignore it means they just don't care. I've always been a big ZOS supporter too.

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    My wife is playing that right now... necro looks pretty legit.

    I'm thinking of trying out the new release of the secret world. It looks way better than before.

    I'll check up on eso for the next week and if it's still busted then I'm out since that will have burned a lot of my eso+ I just bought. I love eso, so hopefully we get some news from zos soon (or a fix!).

    I talk to my friends list and guild, and some are having the issues while others are not. Some have minor issues, others are unplayable like me.

    I watched the net packets with wireshark and there is some serious issues happening. Lots of failed ACKs and retransmissions. Things that are not normal in that quantity and would cause massive lag.
