vanity✭✭I'm curious what could have gone so wrong to put something on maintenance almost 8 hours. I thought mega server was an groundbreaking idea >_> guess you don't know until you try it.0 -
sy.donna3nrb19_ESOSoul ShrivenIt's funny how they've been posting "updates" when they haven't got us new information yet. How ironic is that.Nothing to see here, children. Move along now.0 -
Sarah_Lynn✭✭✭When the server is down it makes me want to eat, is that normal?I spend way too much time and money on this game.1 -

I was on when the servers went down this morning too, but seriously, it's early access and these guys have been working all night. I get that the lack of info is frustrating but I can see why they wouldn't want to give out info about the game breaking exploits they're fixing, and why they wouldn't want to give out an ETA they can't stick to.
Agree, especially given the possible reasons for bringing it down.Who has time? But if we never take time how can we ever have time?1 -
Faked✭✭✭I want to know why it only is affect the NA server and not bothHeeeeyyyyyyy Yoooouuuuuu Guys!!!!!!!0 -
I was doing some digging and came upon a post in reddit stating that a major bug was happening in-game, causing people to log in on other peoples characters. After they got a UI error, they were disconnected, and upon logging back in, they had access to other characters that weren't theirs.
Not sure if that is true or not, but if it is, I'd rather have maintenance go as long as it needs to, so someone doesn't accident log in to my character one day and take advantage of that (ie: mailing all my items to their characters, etc.).2 -

Probably due to not eating because being fixated on the screen for so long before downtime.

ZOS_JessicaFolsomCommunity ManagerWe just posted the more detailed explanation mentioned earlier this morning. Here's what it says.ZOS_JessicaFolsom wrote: »Last night a few North American users reported inventory-related issues with their character account, such as seeing additional inventory items appear, or seeing items that were not earned through gameplay. We've identified and fixed the problem, but the issue necessitated some downtime overnight for the North American megaserver. This problem has not manifested on the European server, so it continues to run as normal. The fix will be implemented as soon as all required pre-testing is complete this morning.
We were already planning to push a new game build to both servers this morning, and we will continue to work towards this. Stay tuned for complete patch note shortly. In addition to this aforementioned priority fix, we are also working quickly to restore our 'send in-game mail' functionality, some content blocking fixes that are preventing some users from finishing quests, and a few other tweaks. Our goal is to have all of these fixes initiated later this morning, eastern US time.
We will update this post as soon as we have an exact timeline for the service to be restored.

Felarrond✭✭✭You guys act like this sort of thing is completely new in Gaming History. It's not! This is how UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE works! So many people were whinging about bugs, and things got serious enough, they said "We have to fix this to make people happy." And then the second they announce downtime everyone's like "GET A ROPE! LET'S GO KEEL THEM FOR THE DOWNTIMES!" And now that downtime is taking a while everyone's like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, AND WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG?" Answering EITHER of those questions is a bad idea for any game developer or host....
A.> GIVING YOU AN ETA ON UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE IS ASKING YOU TO CRY MORE LATER. If they don't fix what's broken in the time they said it was "likely" going to take, you're going to be upset with them all over again for going over their estimated time. Fact of life. This is why game developers and hosts no longer give ETAs for UNSCHEDULED maintenance.
B.> They aren't telling you what's broken, and what they're doing to fix it, BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL BUSY FIXING IT. Having someone constantly explaining the intricacies of fixing all the bugs they left in the game, is someone they have to take away from the team that's working to fix them, that means it'll take longer for them to finish. OH WAIT I HAVE A BRIGHT IDEA! LET'S TELL THEM AFTER WE FIX THEM WHAT WAS WRONG! <-- That's the right way of doing things.
C.> This isn't a rant. Although I'm not a game developer, I've been in the IT Field and involved in Systems roll outs, upgrades and implementations for about 15 years. Be it a gaming company, or someone that hosts business applications, the complaints are always the same.
Hopefully this post at least makes you think a little bit! Praise to the Nine Divines!2 -

Digging? This was discussed and examples given (including character names) in this forum.
Again, just another example that this game was rushed to launch like many of us beta testers were warning them about.....
