    Standard procedure, the servers can't handle us trying to log in or even play after the maintenance

    Same here. I have been sitting on the "Requesting character load" screen now for several minutes. Seems like there is still a problem with the PC EU servers.

    This happens everytime the end of maintenace coincides with prime time.
    You just have to wait it out.

    "Requesting character load"

    ^ This is what happens if you make maintenance too long. It is between 20:00 - 22:00 for most EU players... and they all want to login...

    Not the char load screen, but the screen you get when using a wayshrine ingame.
    That shouldn't matter about people trying to log in as everyone uses wayshrines ingame all the time anyway?

    Let's all be grateful that the maintenance is ended at least! :)

    If the past is any indication, we might get another one to fix the inability to log in!

    Yeah that'll take 4-5 hours at which time Europe people will be in bed. So no playing or tickets for most of us I guess, because eff European players.

    11 hour maintenance with no fixes and you cannot login now. it cannot take that long to just pull the plug so we cannot login. maybe they are saving electricity to send to a charity , well maybe the game can be a charity and it might work

    This is actually a good point you're making. They take the servers offline for 11 hours, surely they must be fixing certain things. Yet after these weekly maintenance rounds, nothing changes. Taking it offline for 11 hours during an event essentially means taking it offline for a full day as people can't login and eventually have to sleep. So they miss out on event bonuses even though they've been trying for several hours to get in.

    A login queue is fine, but if the approximate wait time is 30 seconds, either make it around 30 seconds to maybe 2 minutes. But better leave the approximation out completely if it's going to take 5+ minutes. Just a suggestion.
