    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 get 60-70 outside of hubs and the main populated areas. I'm in Britain.

    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.

    If the EU servers were located in the US how would EU players be able to consistently get 40-60 ms?

    Im pretty darn sure the EU servers are located in the EU. It would make very little sense to me if they placed a EU server in the US wouldn't you think?

    Can we have the server status light back now please?
    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.

    OP, it's an American company. The maintenance time for us is early morning when not many are on. Stop taking [snip] personally as though ZOS is trying to screw over EU.

    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.

    lol damn, you caught my nonsense before i edited to delete.

    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.
    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.

    EU server was in Texas at launch, and trust me, we were mad.

    Aren't the EU servers located in NA? Also it makes sense that they would update a platform at a time. Not break up servers into location. 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 :/

    Yes, I typed it wrong :D , it's 500 down, 50 up lol. Uppladning=Upload in Swedish and Nedladding=Download (pic).

    No maintenance was planned this week, this is weird

    I'm pretty sure that when they put the maintenance schedule up it showed no maintenance on Monday, but maintenance today. That's my recollection, anyway.

    Indeed.

    However: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/75114/regular-maintenance-days-times#latest

    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?

    Exactly, it's the official forum post of regular maintenance days and times. This was irregular, therefore, a forum banner suffices.
