    Hi everyone,
    ..........In the meantime, what are you planning to do first when the servers open? Will you hop right into Endless Archive? Dive into Jewelry Crafting? Dig up some of the new Antiquities? Do your writs? :wink:

    No, dearest Gina, none of those things.
    Unless you can tell us if this will all work at all, ....directly after a major patch..?
    Or when we can play? Maybe the maintenance will be extended again?

    At least now I have time to think again... about why I should play at all.

    Thanks for your patience, and for reading and understanding such answers as mine.

    I was going to go chase all those nice gold plunder skulls, now I think I will just go back to sleep and see if the server is ready at breakfast time in 3 hrs.

    I might not like the news reported, but I'm more appreciative of the fact that it IS being reported than Gina would ever know.
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    I will finally be able to finish my house, since 99% of the space available won't be crafting stations. Well, provided the new stations aren't bugged. lol

    No problem. I learned to program on a Trash-80 CoCo as a high schooler in the early 1980s.

    Hi everyone,

    In the meantime, what are you planning to do first when the servers open? Will you hop right into Endless Archive? Dive into Jewelry Crafting? Dig up some of the new Antiquities? Do your writs? :wink:

    The first thing? Check Crown store and Pray there a new Assistant to do my Surveys for me.
    I have complete faith that it's been added by now. LOL

    Seriously though, the same thing I do everyday. Inventory Management.

    At first it would be enough to cancel ESO+. You can still play very good without spending any money. Tamriel is so huge and if you have enough chars and be a member in five good selling guilds you will not have a problem with space. I used to play with ESO+ and tbh i could not imagine to play without but now i realize it is no problem.

    Why can’t you do maint behind the scene like Guild Wars 2? They never have downtime that interferes with playing…

    Educated guess: because it would be an expense that is both substantial and difficult to justify when the majority of the player base is either sleeping while the maintenance takes place or they will just accept - and even defend - the maintenance downtime as an inevitable necessity without even entertaining the idea that alternatives do exist.

    Also I imagine that the server infrastructure is quite different from ESO.

    As far as I know GW2 did have maintenance where the servers DID shut down for a few hours when I was playing it (2/3 years ago).

    Even VALORANT has downtime when major updates roll out or when they're working on the servers, only difference is that Riot Games is much bigger so they can afford to have a lot more people working on the servers at any given time and that leads to a shorter downtime.

    GW2's game is entirely instanced, map by map, with multiple instances of the same map open at once. So if there is a new build to be downloaded while the game is up, players who have downloaded the new build will be in a "new build" map instance, while those who haven't will be in an "old build" map instance, with a timer to download the new build before the instance closes and forces them to download the new build. That's how GW2 gets away with doing a lot of smaller things online instead of pushing large patches.

    have you tried the addon Personal Assistant? It's been a huge timesaver for me. :-) Also, an assistant for surveys would be amazeballz.

      its easy enough for established players to play without it. noobs on the other hand.... well not so much.

      Sorry for the delay, all. We are still completing some remaining maintenance items and testing before we can open the servers. We'll provide another update in about 20-30 minutes (or sooner, if we can).
