Server Login Queue Turned on for PC-EU - April 10

ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Recently, we’ve seen a massive influx of players to ESO especially on the PC-EU server. This influx of players has resulted in some server performance issues for our players on the PC-EU megaserver, especially during prime-time hours. As a short-term solution to address these issues, we are turning on a login queueing system for that server.

Set in place to create an optimal player experience for our ESO fans playing on the PC-EU server, this queueing system allows for a set number of players to be in the game at a time. Players waiting in the queueing system will be able to enter the game as soon as a spot opens up. (Please note that your estimated on-screen wait time may not reflect your actual wait time.)

We’re currently working on plans that will add more capacity for our growing PC-EU community, making it possible for many more heroes to jump in and play simultaneously without hindrance to the overall PC-EU server performance. We’ll keep everyone updated. Welcome to all our new and returning players, and thank you all for your patience.

So now I have to wait for however long it takes to get into a game I pay for? It certainly isnt the 30 seconds its says on my screen as I have been waiting almost ten minutes now. Seriously if this company expects to keep people paying for this game it needs to upgrade it servers urgently.

Just fire those German guys responsible for EU server and get better data center to maintain the servers.
Its easy.

Uh...thanks, Blizzard(?).

On a serious note, I hope server upgrades won't take too long to implement. Can we expect them to happen by the time Elsweyr arrives?

"your estimated on-screen wait time may not reflect your actual wait time"
I can confirm this, with a "Approximate Wait Time: 30 sec" , I wait now for 15 minutes....

Yep, staring at the "approximately 30 seconds" login queue message for 15 minutes (and counting) really is an immense improvement to my game experience.

Especially during an event that needs the daily login (for crafting and tickets), and the hour getting really late here. So I can either stay up until midnight (or longer), or loose my boni because I can't get in the game.

One hell of a gaming experience indeed !

When a player gets disconnected due to a system bug, will that put them at the end of the queue again when they try and log back in?

vesselwiththepestle

The queue is bugged, please fix!

It was 30 seconds for several minutes.

I got kicked out of the queue several times and had to re-enter.

This really sucks. I hope you will resolve this quickly.

That's the goal (or sooner).

I certainly hope ESO+ members are NOT getting a priority queue!!!

As mentioned in the message above, the estimated on-screen wait time may not reflect the actual wait time (the position listed is correct, though).

Great, so the broken EU server has been replaced with a broken static queue -_-

Azurya

I quote from the intro quest to the Dark Brotherhood: you are probably insane!

this cannot be true!
you are smashing a paying player and communitymember since the openbeta from the game??
this is what you call a aniversary-event????
by prohibiting your base from entering the game?????
when shall I play???
ZOS really has gone INSANE

"We’re currently working on plans that will add more capacity for our growing PC-EU community"
How to not say: "we're adding some more hardware" or "we are getting new servers"

T@rty

In five years of playing ESO I have never had to queue to login and now you're saying its due to more players?!?!?!

bullsh!t!

Jolipinator

Master race.

The Uninvited

i JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER CROWN PACK AND NOW i GET THIS ***??? I HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 5 YEARS NOW, BUT I AM ABOUT TO QUIT!!!

Minno

Time to upgrade the servers. Or create an Asia server for our Oceanic players too lol.

labambao

So my 30 sec que is already 20 mins. Howdy ZOS?

Gythral

3 months late & the wrong solution but hey what did we expect!

bzz86

Sorry to say but this is ridiculous ! I tried to login and got 30 sec.... after 10 minutes I've left the queue and tried again. Now I have 15min 11sec...... This time its counting down at least. All I wanted is to login fast, see if there is any trial or whatever else happening in guild and leave if none.... Now (despite the queue) I will have to wait to check

Megatto

OMFG Just get an ASIA megaserver!! FFS!

The Uninvited

AND DON'T GIVE ME "THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE", WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT ENOUGH!!!

More new players!?? How awesome is this?

So the "Dead game" is growing so fast the servers need to be given a boost to keep up? How cool is THAT!!

Thank you for the heads up!

Feric51

If you've ever wanted to start an PC-NA account, now is the time....

Azurya

and there is no information on what psition you are at all, it is just waiting, waiting...............
this is a nightmare..............
you are smashing a birthday a event and kicking your base out of the game??? what for???

Gralor

I feel sorry for everyone who still gives this company any money.

Squeaky_Clean

GOODBYE ZOS! ....

JamieAubrey

Of course someone will complain about this, Welcome to the game new Players

electromagnets

This is absurd. Massive influx my ass. I have never encountered this in my 5 years of playing this game, and the population now is certainly not the highest it's ever been. Please stop feeding us ***.

By the way, great way to celebrate your 5 year anniversary. Cheers.
