    You know that joke

    "Yo mama so fat, when she jumped in the air - the server broke?"

    Okay, I made a bit of a twist there at the end.

    Maybe your character needs to lose a 'load'. Quit breaking our servers.

    There's always some excuse for bad performance, isn't there? Yeah, my heart weeps for ZOS' success. In the mean time, sub is still cancelled and Greymoor is still not purchased.

    I simply must protest. There are no Penguin avatars for me to use in the forums.

    BTW, I use arch too

    Those were hireling times between character load when I checked it.

    1 min ago
    14 min ago
    22 min ago
    31 min ago

    With 5 min loadtime on first character, that average 9 min/char to log in. And obviously zone chats are filled with comments related to long loading times.

    Fix this *** already.

    This, like any online service like ESO. There is a server just for logging in. Its overwhelmed as everyone tries to log in at once.

    If the servers cant handle logging people in then it is def time to stop buying chapters.

    This is worse than ever. It's been an hour since the server came back online, and every character load still takes several minutes.
