Looks like something popped during the finalization steps. Unfortunate. I hope we get more information and some compensation.

The March/April ESO timeframe is always very busy. We have a lot of events and almost always have a major Update. Because of this, we need to move some events around on the calendar to give the infrastructure team some clear air to do the maintenance without impacting any ongoing events. We are moving Whitestrake’s Mayhem to later in the year to ensure the datacenter hardware refresh is complete before we hold the event. We still intend to have two Whitestrake’s Mayhem events in 2023. Since we will be moving an event that grants Event Tickets out of Q1 (January – March) and we want everyone to be able to get the Q1 morphing collectible, Passion’s Muse personality, we will make the Q1 fragments available through Q2 (April – June.) The amount of Event Tickets you can earn for the year will not change because of this shift. As we have done in previous years, all morphing collectible fragments for the year will also be available during the New Life Festival in December.

That's not all! They also moved the Midyear Mayhem in the first place explicitly so it wouldn't occur during PC's maintenance.The March/April ESO timeframe is always very busy.

XBOX got an extra day. PC got the event moved completely. So far, Playstation NA has received nothing. I really hope when this is done, they do something to compensate for a lost day especially since they chose when the traders flip.

Well they did say that performance were not expected to get better... they said it back when server refresh were first announced. If i remember correctly, the change was to get more recent hardware berfore the previous one get to old or something apong those line. Cannot blame them for not getting something you werent suppose to get in the first place
