Are and were,was are two different things, I would not waste my time doing it for you, but with a small research I am sure you can educate yourself, when the game first launched where the eurpean server was located.

what? I haven't been "taking [snip] personally". You must be confusing me with someone actually taking [snip] personally as though ZOS is trying to screw over EU. I just wanted a plausible explanation, which I have already got (you can look back in the comments if you want). The most likely explanation is that doing the update/maintenance at once for both EU and US is probably cost-effective and easier to fix problems that arises etc. It makes sense to me.

Yeah idk wtf i was on about there. Apologies for that. disregard.
EU server is very much in the EU specifically Germany as I said previously.Jayman1000 wrote: »
I mean unless ZOS managed to find a way to get people in Germany with 50ms Ping connections to a server hosted in Texas.
As I said previously as well there was talk that the log-in server is still in the US however, so when you do a server ping you will noticed a US IP which made people think the servers were moved back there.

Also does it matter when they do maintenance? I get home from work and an hour later it's maintenance time. It's always something for someone, somewhere. So I don't care when they do it.
And to the person who talks about how their shouldn't be any maintenance at all, always someone, just no. Rather a working game than a broken one, and ESO is already broke in some areas anyways so don't need it worse.
Well, I don't think it makes much sense to place EU servers in NA, would it? They are EU servers, placed here in the EU, because there's a huge bunch of ESO gamers here in Europe, and we would have a pretty bad experience playing on american servers because the long distance would create high latencies. Australians have this problem, but unfortunately there are not that many australian ESO gamers, most likely way to few to make it worth the while for ZOS to do dedicated Australian servers.
I definately do think it matters at what time maintenance is done. Would you think it matters not whether the server maintenance is done right in primetime, say in the evening or during weekends? Of course it matters. But as it has already been discussed in this thread earlier, it seems the most likely explanation is that it is easier and more cost-effective, and probably less prone to errors/problems to do the update at once for both EU and US servers. At least that is the explanation I find the most plausible; and I accept that. Al I wanted was at least a plausible explanation that I could understand.
It's strange. I've tried playing ESO from different countries in EU and had ping 100-150 everywhere. Makes me wonder what is the geographical position of the servers. Are there any players here who get 40-60 ping on EU server? This is the ping that you suppose to have if the server located in your country.
I'm on NA since launch but lately I've been dipping my toes in the EU waters and find my ping is fairly solid at 60-80 with spikes to 110+ (Cyro i.e.). I'm playing from Stockholm, Sweden. 500Mbs up / 50Mbs down.
Geographical location of the datacenters is in Frankfurt, Germany. I live a whole 30 minutes away from them with 1gb download and still have 40-60 ms ping when I am lucky, and around 60-80 on average lately. I used to have a steady 50ms, but not since morrowind.
Also, I am confused why you would have more upload than download unless you are a streamer. Download is far more important

I mean if they can't even keep to their own set schedules, and can't be bothered to change the "official forum post" with Maintenance details in them is it any wonder players get confused?

It's sort of a fair point, but why do they need to change the forum post when they put a banner across the top of the forum and there's an advance launcher pop-up for what is, I imagine, pretty much a one-off variation?
