Maintenance for the week of March 25:
• [IN PROGRESS] ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – March 28, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 12:00PM EDT (16:00 UTC)
Coincidence? Or should i start making my tin foil hat.
It is an announcement day, so there is no coincidence.
My guess is that the PC patch will contain additional 2019 assets to be datamined. If people are quick about it, this will be out before the announcement. The announcement will clarify any new assets discovered.
The website, account system, and store are being updated, as well. They are scheduled to be offline until the announcement. This could be to facilitate the switch from a Summerset stance to the new stance. We may be able to pre-order the 2019 Chapter next week, possibly Tuesday.
Edit: I am a little surprised that they have not scheduled a PTS maintenance for next week. That might yet be announced. Even if they are not doing Q1DLC on PTS next week, an announcement of maintenance would build hype.
