Maintenance for the week of November 4:
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – November 6, 9:00AM EST (14:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EST (23:00 UTC)

Why is the manteinance so long?

8 hours seem like a lot of time, what actually goes on during a server manteinance?

    Hm, I had assumed it was the usual regular maintenance on both servers (NA and EU), but now I see it's just EU-- and all 3 EU servers, at that. Very interesting!

    Edit: I was wondering if it might be something involving hardware, and it seems that it is:

    What are "hosting changes"? And what hardware are they replacing? I thought it's all new?

    Would be nice if they actually explained things when they explained things.

    "Hosting changes" sounds like they are changing server host, but who knows :shrug:

    They feed the hamsters and give them some rest. I hope they feed them well this time.

    I'm all for new hardware. I'm happy to wait for hardware upgrades. It is only a game after all. It's not like my bank has gone offline for hours on the day i get my direct deposit or something and i have to wait for monies until AFTER they are done.

    When selecting server maintenance times, we try and pick periods when the game generally experiences the lowest traffic. Unfortunately, this may result in downtime for some of our players. Since this maintenance has now completed, we are going to close the discussion. For more information about server maintenance please see our FAQ below.
