If you're going to ask when the server is coming back up, just choose one of these responses and consider your question answered. Have a wonderful morning!
Legal Adult Response:
You're a spoiled child who needs to learn some patience. No one owes you anything, nor are you entitled to play right now. When I was a kid, we spent 16 hours installing a game on an 8-bit system.
Hypocritical Response:
Get a life and go outside, you fat, lazy nerd.
Zenimax Cultist Response:
If the devs told us they had to fling poo at us in order to bring the servers back up, then we should all get in line with a pair of goggles and a smile. How dare you question the Elder Scrolls Gods?
Breath-Holding Response:
If they don't update the sticky thread at least once every 5 minutes, I'm going to request a refund.
World-First Response:
I was just about to ding 50 on my 4th character and now some guy in Korea is gonna beat me. This day sucks.
Hobbyist Response:
There are many other things you could be doing instead of refreshing the forums. You could read a book, toss a football, watch TV, take a nap, play with your kids, do some laundry, or call a friend.
Over-Caffeinated Response:
OMG, I need to play more. Must keep refreshing! Going through withdrawal LOL!!!!111one!
Simplistic Response:
It'll be up when it's up.
Lazy Response:
^This.
Smug Response:
(Random unrelated quote by Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, or some other literary figure.)
Founding Father Response:
I played Arena when you were still a twinkle in your momma's eye. You must be a Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim baby.
Tired Response:
TL; DR.
Peacekeeper Response:
Come on now, people. The OP asked a legitimate question. There's no need to be rude and insensitive. We're all in this together!
Told-You-So Response:
You actually thought you'd be able to play in early access? I'm not even trying to log in until at least April 7th.
English Professor Response:
You cannot play until you can learn the difference between 'your' and 'you're'.
Optimistic Response:
They told us it was just a quick fix, so it'll probably be up in an hour.
Pessimistic Response:
They told us it was just a quick fix, so it'll probably be up sometime Saturday.
Traitorous Response:
Diablo expansion, woot!
Attention-Deficit Response:
Anyone know if the servers are down? I can't seem to log in.
Suck-Up Response:
Mods/Devs, THANK YOU for the updates! We love you and we know you're trying your best! KUDOS to the team!!!
IT Professional Response:
Do you have any idea what it takes to create and maintain a game? The work it requires, the time spent fixing bugs in millions of lines of code, not to mention the QA process before the newest patch can be released to the customer? If you think you can do better, then by all means, please give it a shot.
RTFM Response:
For f's sake, read the sticky at the top and stop posting these same threads just because you're illiterate!
Xenophobic Response:
You must be an American/Australian/European/Asian/Antarctican because you think you're entitled to everything NOW NOW NOW.
Sarcastic Response:
Bro, the servers have been back up for like 15 minutes and we're all playing.
Business Person Response:
I took vacation time this week and rescheduled a meeting with my company's CEO so I could be home playing promptly at 6am. Zenimax needs to re-evaluate its work ethic and responsibility to the customer.
Jokester Response:
Here's an updated
link to the server status sticky.
Conspiracy Theorist Response:
This is obviously a plot to stress test the capability of the forum software. They are tracking our IP addresses and the number of times we refresh the page in order to sync the server to handle the proper amount of traffic.
Trolling Response:
U mad brah?
In-Denial Response:
I keep trying to log in, and I know they told us they'd let us know when the servers are back up, but I'm sure it's only because they don't want everyone rushing back in at the same time.
Something for Nothing Response:
A price of $59.99 means we're paying roughly $0.08 per hour to play during the first month. Will we be compensated $0.40 plus applicable taxes for the downtime?
The Horse Isn't Dead Yet Response:
Why does there have to be weekly maintenance?
Legal Aide Response:
If you would like to participate in a class-action lawsuit against Zenimax for breach of contract, in accordance with section 13, paragraph 9, and as cited in the McGraw v. Smith case, please send me a PM.
LOLcats Response:
I can haz playtime now?
Friends In High Places Response:
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who works at Zenimax, and she said it would be up in the next hour.
