@ZOS_GinaBruno can you please give us an estimation on how long the Servers will remain in Maintenance?

The Maintenance is going on for about 6hrs now, which is a bit longer than usual.
Granted there were some major Server Issues the past few days, and you want to be sure everything is in working order.

An estimation would still be much appreciated :wink:
Hi all! Just posted an update in the main thread, but we just entered the final phase with QA to test both megaservers and plan to open with the next hour or so.

    probably not, this would be 3 months after the horse bolted

    but it does seem like a kick in the crotch to extend the event and then announce another maintenance period, which again has not gone gracefully

    At this point - What difference does it make what time it is, there?
    They started it at the time they decided to start it.
    That means they knew what time it was going to be when they set the time to start it.

    I say that with the utmost respect for you as a person.

    The difference is that Gina probably isn't around to update us. Pretty sure when she has further info, if any, she'll let us know given then length of the downtime.

    Got to admit, for simple database maintenance with no patch, this is unusually long. Based on original posting, servers were supposed to be back up sometime around 6 AM EDT. It is now after 9 AM EDT.

    The amount of maintenance downtime recently is starting to get really annoying.

    Some kind of explanation would be really great. This is really not normal for maintenance. I mean, I remember the Morrowind chapter downtime and THAT was like six hours. So now that we're pushing into seven hours I would really appreciate someone saying something. Gina isn't the only one with forum access.

    I'm not sure what their names are.

    My hope is that as they were proceeding with the maint they either found something that was problematic in addition to whatever they originally were dealing with and are trying to get it sorted OR they are testing the bejabbers out of it to try to avoid further problems and major riots over the weekend.

    Or, after the week so far, they all fell asleep.

    On that note, I'd love to know what "a few hours" mean. I don't mean to be impatient here, it's just that some would consider 5 many while others think half a day is few. And I know it isn't always super easy to predict how long everything's going to take, but when I read "a few hours" it might as well have said "2-12", except that would have been slightly better because then at least I'd know the time was really uncertain instead of thinking Gina problably means about X hours but I have no idea what X is. Heh. Minor point among all your considerations this week, I know, but I hope you understand what I mean if you read this, @ZOS_GinaBruno .

    Well I understand that this maintenance takes a bit longer than normally, since they had pretty bad server issues the past few days.
    And now they want check things, and maybe reduce the risk of those server breakdowns again, and this takes time.

    But still a Info would be nice.
    Just 1 sentce like. "We estimate it will take us antoehr 1 hrs from now" would be fine IMO

    As soon as I saw that the new crown store stuff was going live at 10 AM EDT, I knew we weren't seeing the servers up til then.

    They could turn it on now, guaranteed, but they won't. Cause it's not time to line up and hand over cash.

    Whether Gina is there or not, I'm sure there is someone in the building capable of taking the responsibility to get an estimate and typing:
    'Ya'll can get some sleep if you want, we expect to be up AROUND XX:xx. We me be sooner, we may be later, but thats an approximate window at this point.'

    No less respect for anyone intended or implied. We're all friends here.

    Imagine how pissed you're gonna be when it comes back up with a 1 week rollback because they just can't fix this DB problem any other way.

    Here's the thing. Those servers? They're not in the same building as Gina and the folks who code, support, etc. Right about now the non-tech (the people NOT doing the server work) are likely showing up for the day so hopefully we'll see some info soon.

    ZoS can't afford a rollback. This game is doing great, but there is no surer way to stab it right in the throat.
