I understand everything .... BUT

As wrote dear ZOS_JessicaFolsom.... "We expect the extended downtime to last approximately 12 hours, and anticipate the European PC/Mac ESO server to open around 1am GMT on Feb. 13"
One problem.
I lost one day of subscription ESO+
my earnings per month is $ 150 and the loss of one day is money to the wind.
Compensate for this day?
Once again I apologize if I seem tactless

Waffennacht · February 2018

But the answer is no. It was always a no, and will always be a no.

Was a no last year, and a no the year before that

Was a no three years

Will be a no next year too

Golevan · February 2018

no so no ...
Let it be on their conscience

di_rty · February 2018

1 month ESO+ sub = $14.99
Average days in month = 30

$14.99 / 30 = $ 0.4996666666666667

So, are you nerds really asking for 50 cents back? If so, you should probably stop playing this game and go find a career or mow some lawns or something...

Valykc · February 2018

I had to go to work today, for 8 hours, that’s 8 hours of ESO+ that I am missing. Should I expect to be compensated for missing the 8 hours that I could be playing? Absolutely not, stop acting so entitled.

Seriously, you should be happy they are fixing things instead of releasing a busted patch.

Furthermore, read the Terms of Service that you agreed to before playing the game.

Umm, I don't think money to the wind means what you think it does.....As for earnings, I have no idea where you live but......

or what relevance your monthly income has in relation to downtime?

Perhaps next time, use the downtime to look up what anticipate means.

^this...

in real money it translates as 180 day sub = £41.94

41.94/180 = 0.233 ish

Anybody with any experience with online gaming knows that you should NEVER, EVER take a day off to play on patch day.....for any game........it's kinda like don't feed them after midnight common sense

Ratzkifal · February 2018

By now you guys can really expect this to happen. How about next time you just cancel your subscription and renew/reactivate on the first day you can play again?

When we're talking about money, there's no difference between 50 cents and 100 bucks, if you ask me. Money is still a money. Here in Russia we have a speaking that would be said as "the cent serves/protects the dollar" in English. Think about it.
Why do you think that your 50 cents cost nothing? See, if you ask ZOS to give you 50 cents, guess what would you get? So, why would I (or anybody else) let them take even 50 cents just for nothing? You paid 50 cents for this day, you can't play the game this day. Still makes no sense to you?

To those who compares off-line time because of 8 hours at work and off-line time because of server issues, well, I'm sorry but comparing those two things is laughly stupid. The former is what customer decides to do, the latter is what happenes because the company can't provide their services which a customer paid his money for.

I didn't read ToS, so I have no rights to judge anybody. I'm just quite confused with some silly posts here.

Yes, there're countries in the world which citizens have significantly less earnings than yours. Please don't speak about finding new job or searching for cheaper game to play.

The only silly posts here are the ones that ask for something (every time we have a patch) that we already know won’t happen. Anyone who has experience with online games knows that these things happen and can take time. I don’t think anyone here is going to go bankrupt over $0.50

Germakochi · February 2018

This thread reeks of privilege. So much so that they can't even comprehend the buying power of other nations and how US dollars translate there. So I won't even bother to explain.

Olen_Mikko · February 2018

I do understand, not everyone can be wealthy, but honestly, if you cry over $0.50, aim a little bit higher on your career.

Oakmontowls_ESO · February 2018

It would make sense for them to compensate(via extra time of eso+ for existing subscriptions) for extended and unscheduled maintenance. Simply put you are paying for time of access of the eso+ perks and extended maintenance eat up the time you are paying for.

No.

It is pretty clear that you get ESO+ for a 1 month period and that includes any maintenance needed during that time. Your ESO+ does not stop during maintenance, it is included.

Yes it sucks and I hate it as well but crap happens and you move on.

If .50 is huge where you live you might consider going FTP instead for your own finances, but if you can afford ESO+ you can afford the delays that come with it.

Power in numbers.
$0.5 * 500 000 users = $250k

Free 250k for day off work.

So who'd ignore that sum now?

Ackwalan · February 2018

ZOS owes me 24 cents for this 12 hours.

Lord_Eomer · February 2018

ZOS should compensate with EU players. NA maintenance finished long ago.

Zos should just time their downtime so it runs night / morning FFS.

ArchMikem · February 2018

So, you lost around $0.50?

Would you like me to give you a couple quarters?

Well, then I must admit that you have a really bad experience. I've played MMORPs where players got free subscription days for unexpected downtime. So, it's not a rule or something for online games, you know? It's just a local ESO's "feature", and you should understand that not everyone at these forums is a long time ESO player who got used to this "feature".

Umm.. The overall amount of money that everyone “looses” here has nothing to do with what a single person pays. One person isn’t going to go bankrupt just because a bunch of other people around them also lost a tiny bit of cash.

Merlin13KAGL · February 2018

Tell you what, we'll all pitch in and get you your $.50 or equivalent currency.

In return:

You agree to have your own separate server instance, which never gets rebooted. We'll give you about a month before you're begging for them to do some maintenance.
You agree to reimburse our 'lost wages' for the time we've wasted on your entitlement thread?

Deal?

What im wondering, is if that's considered a decent amount of money to the op, or wherever they live, how did they get the game and PC/console to play it on?

Unless you can get a pc dirt cheap from that place, in which case send one my way plz.

Anotherone773 · February 2018

The OP is from Belarus not exactly a wealth country. A months sub probably cost what would be about $150 to an American. I do think that EU ESO subs should get an extra day. You pay for 30 days,not 29.

Cost of living prices are relative to where you live. $150 probably is relatively poor even for there. But they may be a student and thus only work part time.
