Curiously, zone chat appears to be broken.
My main is currently standing in Mournhold... and there is NOTHING in zonechat. For 20+ minutes that I've been there.

I even posted some valuable items to chat that I'm giving away for free, usually these clear out quite rapidly... also nothing.

Could you mail them to me instead @UG_Dan

I have just posted a comment in the sticky thread, but it might be worth to paste it here.

Playing a different game (and paying the subscription) now; it is not perfect but I have to admit that when there is a problem, the comments posted by the company are... refreshing

And, yes, the issue was solved.

... first and foremost want to address the issues we’ve been experiencing with our <name> server this past week. It’s being very stubborn and every time we think we have it nailed, it decides to kick some players from various areas in the game and won’t let them back in for a while.
Not a great experience for anyone and I apologize we haven’t fixed it already. We believe it’s an intermittent hardware issue, making it difficult to isolate, so we’re rebuilding that server and will deploy a new one later tonight.
We’re going to have to take the European servers down, but we’ll look to get it done while most of you are sleeping. We will let everyone know when we’ve completed the effort...

I cannot enter the game, what's going on? Game breaks even on Sunday morning now?

You have the ZOS guarantee that every day of the week can be be lucky one and things don't work.

This is unacceptable.

Sunday is one of the days I have more free time, and like to catch up in the game. But I can't log in and when I retry, it says I am already connected.

ZOS really.... take a look at how other companies manage their games. I don't want to name them, you know who they are, their servers work seamlessly. I played an other MMO for years, which celebrates 15 years now, I don't remember 10 years ago being worried about server performance, not once, not even during world events, before phasing technology. How do they do it? I l really like this game, many people do, so it is a shame you do not invest more in stability and performance!

Could you dm me the titles? Asking because I don't think I've ever come across an online game that had their servers running seamlessly.

Not defending ZOS or the current state pf things with this. We've long since passed absurd and descended right into full on Shivering Isle madness here. In fact, think uncle Sheo could do a better job with this, at least the erraticness would be an expected feature. I'm just curious.

I can tell you one... PC NA

Oh ye of terrible memory. You might want to go back a week or two on these forums and check the threads from then since your own memory is so bad. Onyl reason NA looks good is that EU is so lousy.

FF14 is my gold-standard for server and overall performance.

If I could stand the FF series at all I might check it out, but everything about that franchise always rubbed me the wrong way.

Zonechat still seems to be on the fritz, way too little activity for such a busy zone. And noone is mentioning any of the current performance problems...

Which makes me begin to suspect that we are back to the "chat messages are delayed by 2+ hours" kind of problems?

The_Old_Goat

At the cost of looking ignorant(because I didn't want to fish through every page of this post), is the "black screen of death" a new development? At times after arriving at a dragon, or turning in a quest, or just breathing, my screen will black out and the audio tells me things are still going on, not sure if this is the new precursor to the game crashing or something different.

Mitrenga

It's not the best choice, it's EU player's choice!

Major_Lag

Sure enough, after today's "maintenance", I've gotten booted back to character select several times over the past hour, including once when soloing nFG1... apparently, the trashcan server can't even handle ONE player per dungeon instance

EDIT: And now it's laggy AF, trying to fight world bosses in Summerset is like playing Cyrodiil Kaal in primetime...

Ryath_Waylander

Groan... sounds like I should turn the bus around and go back to work

Major_Lag

Server is dying again?
Just got booted out to login screen, errors when trying to log back in, then 999+ ping and extreme lag in towns...

Blackbird_V

RIP for anyone else again?

Ufretin

Force-quit game after being stuck in loading screen for 10 minutes, now unable to login again (PC-EU).
Same old, same old...

kmufc77b16_ESO

Same, stuck on loading screen

* Slow Clap *

How long did it took this time ? Less than an hour... GG

onemoredragon

Aye... Couldn't log out to character select screen, restarted the game, getting "Unable to connect to game server" error..

Selen67

Now, how much of a surprise was it?

Curious_Death

Blackbird_V

Who the *** did not see this coming? Zo$. Only Zo$.

Major_Lag

Infinite loadscreen from character select screen... yep, dead as a dodo.

Mizael

Another event another week of offline server

rumple9

got in after 10 minute load screen. trade posts are broken too

RaddlemanNumber7

Looooooooong loading screens. Then unable to connect to server.

At least I managed to get my tickets before the server went wonky.

Selen67

"We are currently investigating issues some players are having regarding logging into the European PC/Mac megaserver. We will update as new information becomes available."

How many times can someone investigate the same old thing? Everything is just as always, I think by now the problem should be investigated well enough, or is every overload *that* different?

Nando70

And here we go again! new event with ever eternal loading screens! hell to watch to watch at same picture for a long time I rather watch my own desktop screen, it's prettier.

But hey wth, I figured out this the other day.

OK so I figured out the Zos standards:
"Theory is when you know everything, but nothing works.
Practice is when everything works, but no one knows why.
At Zos development section are both practice and theory combined.
Nothing works and no one knows why"

Cirantille

Please dont do more events ok.

Another “totally unexpected” failure of the PC EU server

Our guild had Sweepstake for how long the server would stay up.

No one thought it would last beyond 60 minutes.

That’s the end of that then.

Noggin_the_Nog

I thought I'd try the new updated LFG for todays pledges - it could be better?

Can not even log onto the EU server, been trying for 30mins, with time out error.

Is there even any point in trying anymore?
