    BTW it does appear to be only PC/EU; after multiple login fails and character load timeouts, I switched to PC/NA - and it seems to be working fine. (I have not tested access to Greymoor yet, not on Steam).

    must be a me issue then =( i can't get onto either server, just get stuck on character load

    Stop a powerful Vampire Lord from enslaving Tamriel in the Dark Heart of Skyrim, a gothic tale of sinister secrets and deadly betrayals. The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor is the next stage in the epic story that begins with the Harrowstorm DLC and continues throughout the entire year.

    Venture through an iconic land, almost 1000 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Traverse the frozen tundra and snowy mountains of the Nord homeland and delve into the perilous depths of long-forgotten Blackreach.

    Terrible monsters, led by a Vampire Lord, rise from the depths of Blackreach, intent on devouring souls to fuel their fiendish plans. As darkness consumes the land, Skyrim needs heroes to restore the light.

    Travel across Tamriel to recover lost artifacts with the new Antiquities System. Scry the location of ancient relics and excavate them to uncover Tamriel's hidden history and become a world-renowned Archaeologist!

    Explore the land of the Nords and encounter a people as unique and stalwart as Skyrim itself! This all-new zone features a macabre main story, exciting side quests, terrifying world bosses, dangerous delves, and more.

    ok ok! let me in plz!!

    Stuck at character loading screen. After 11 hours of maintenance.
    I bought the expansion. They made sure no one gets in this time?
    This is really frustrating!

    Stuck in character load, PC EU. Just another of the poor saps in line, I guess.
    Also, was anyone else's cinematic weirdly pixelated?? My graphics aren't low, last I checked.
    if I could make another character, their name would be Cries-For-Character-Slots. AKA, I need more.

    I'm sure there's a reason I spend so much money on this game, and so much time running a guild....... am struggling to remember the reason right now though.

    Awesome job as usual ZoS.

    How I loathe thee. Ye tempteth us with new delights, then snatcheth them away. Is this some kind of sorcery?



    I guess as stated above this is the many thousands of existing players trying to get on after the horrendously long patch time, but also no doubt the new players tempted in who will now see what patch day nightmares we've all come to experience so regularly.

    Hope it rights itself later. *shakes fist* :)

    Error
    Unable to connect to game server.
    Please make sure you have a valid internet connection.

    My internet is very good and working optimally. I want to play the Greymoor chapter I purchased.

    Please, take the PC EU server down and fix the issues.

    PC EU here too.

    Was able to get in, had char at the boat to Skyrim, was able to go there too no problem, but..

    1) Logging in from client took excessively long
    2) Relogging between chars to reset hirelings is taking even longer, it seems like at least 5-10 minutes, in fact, it's what I've been busy with for about 30 minutes now for just three characters (relogging twice). So far it works, but just takes a huge amount of time stuck in the 'loggin in - waiting for character load' screen. Still waiting for my third character to load.. Everything else from what I've seen so far appears to be working as usual.

    A while ago there was a request to post info so they could troubleshoot this issue, which happens a lot when huge volumes of people try to enter the problem at the same time, so my account name is @AlyennahsCrafting if it is of any use and been busy from at least 18.55 CEST or 16.55 UTC if my math isn't off..

    So far no errors fortunately, will update if I get dumped back to the login screen or make it in..

    Update 1: 20.00 CEST and still stuck..

    Update 2: 20.15 CEST: despite moving the mouse every so often and such, got kicked back to the login screen..

    Here's for another attempt, I am pretty stubborn..

    Update 3: 20.18 CEST: try to login again, almost immediately get the 'ERROR - Unable to connect to game server. Make sure you have a valid internet connection' Error.. So I am giving up for now.. BTW that I was able to post this is proof I have a valid internet connection.

    Also, as a side note, since that is also a recurring problem which might conceivable be related, regularly, at random times, my char stops responding to any non-WASD input. So can't sheathe or switch weapons or interact with items.. then a few moments later I get kicked out to the login screen, log back in, everything works fine again.

    @ZOS_SarahHecker if you need any more data, please let me know. (Just requested a change in my username here btw just to try and avoid confusion)

    When Alyennnah is not here, she's probably crafting. Quite possibly at Alyennah's Crafting in Wayrest. Or maybe she's out there, looking for new materials, recipes and styles to use in crafting. She wants to craft all the things.

    Inadequate login server capaabilities. This seems to be a reoccurring thing whenever loads of people try to log in simultaneously. Perphaps the megaserver techmology itself is to blame. Everyone being in their own "realms" would eliminate one process from login, which is instance assignment.
