    Wow until 7?

    Something screwed up BAD. I want to be a fly on wall listening to these techs dealing with it right now lol.

    ESO is now a Microsoft product. Should "stabilize" when Service Pack 1 releases....

    Nah, ESO is more than five years old so the "service pack" will be a new app with a completely -- and pointlessly -- redesigned interface where things that used to take one click now take four or more. Oh, and there is absolutely no customization possible, and there will be a pop-up every ten minutes with an ad you have to wait 30 seconds before you can close.
    If I'm the Vestige destined to save Tamriel, what are y'all doing here?

    On WoW we used to go another server and make Level one gnomes and march to Westfall to attack Hogger.

    Wasn't there an annual player sponsored event? The "march of the gnomes" to get them to Westfall? Seemed like they did it every year for a long time.

    I dunno if it was sponsored, but it used to happen frequently on Moonguard and Wyrmrest.

    I think what they need to do with maintenance announcements is to listen to Scotty.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xRqXYsksFg

    Plan for the worst case, announce that for the time, and then if everything goes right, they look like they are getting done faster. And if not, they have already planned for it, and thus no need to adjust expectations after the fact.

    Lol! Words to live by. Scotty is a wise man.

    When I used to play Ultima Online, if our server went down a group of us would go to another server, create a character with a long beard named Bob, dress him in underwear and a cape and attack players as they left town. We actually managed to kill a player once.

    lol
    That is funny and almost makes me want to go create a throw away character on the EU server.

    I thought about that too. haha

    ... now that I'm off work, I think I might just create an EU character. Maybe I will see if I can build a Nightblade properly from scratch.

    It wasn't a formal thing we did planned and such, but every time we had a downtime on one server or a queue from Hades we would do it, mobs of gnomes running around all looking alike fighting like mad.

    Good times.

    Ah, Khajiit has 7pm...how about 9 pm? Does khajiit hear 9 pm? Come one, come all to the auction of frustration.

    Is that 9 pm tonight or tomorrow? This one could still make plans.

    I'm sorry for you PC/NA guys - I too had the same thing when PC/EU was having all-day maintenance.

    On the plus side, I got to create characters which I hadn't been willing to create (Argonian Magplar / heal, Bosmer Stamblade, Redguard Stam DK).

    I can sympathize with the devs trying to fix a problem of this magnitude. No one wants such an extended downtime.

    But it really doesn't look good on them that they can't get a major launch right. All those resources spent hyping this release and it gets eclipsed by technical failure and customer anger.

    I don't think they've gotten a launch right in the last few years but this is especially bad. Something needs to change.

    I got a phone call and when I answered a creepy voice said "7 days!" Frightened, I asked if that meant I was going to be brutally murdered after 7 days, but the voice said it was just how long maintenance would take. That was even more horrifying.

    Thank you.
    For me, I just got off work so it hasn't really affected me until now. But I have a few errands to run anyway so hopefully it will get fixed in about 30 minutes and I won't have to worry about it.

    I'd be surprised if they do. Down time, sometimes extended when things go south, is standard for any major update/expansion and to be expected.
