What happened today? Best theories here ...

The CDC asked the Dev team to help them with some balance issues in the COVID vaccine trials; apparently people were getting better faster than expected. This put them behind in performing today's ESO maintenance.

In my Global Enterprise Datacenter we had a guy on staff nicknamed Dr Death. He wrecked our EMC / Enterprise Storage (hard drives) for thousands of Fiber attached servers at least 3 times.

The worst one's was when he Initialized (Formatted) the Storage Fabric Arrays for all Production machine's in the Datacenter. 20+ Billion dollar company. The second time he got fired...

The First time he claimed innocence, and the Vendor was pseudo blamed. The second time the idiot was at a Disaster Recovery (DR) exercise in New York, several states away, and he didn't know his configurations for DR, (massive procedure failure) so Networked back into the live Production Datacenter to get the needed configurations...had several green screens up and initialized Production Storage instead of DR...The company fell off the Internet and 2500 Stores had all registers go silent in the middle of the day....

It took days to get everything back in order. We lost Tens of Millions of $$

I would love to ask ZOS who on their staff is Dr Death. EVERY company has one, and as the saying goes, "If you don't know who it is, it might be you" 😜

Maintenance is going so well they decided to do the next three years worth.

Hamsters heard about the Virtual Tour De France competition and felt since there couldnt be a team fitter, resigned from ZoS to sign up for the greatest cycling event...

Nocturnal enacted her master plan of gaining control of the server and they had to level up a vestige to save the game files.

During the maintenance, they accidentally erased our characters and they are having to redo all the quests and achievements so that no one notices this blunder.

I was so happy to log in and play, that I forgot that everyone else is also happy to log in and play and servers cannot handle that much happy people
