    Standard reboot maintenance for all servers and backend network system upgrades for NA Servers. Included in the maintenance are the ESO Store and Account System.

    “Standard reboot maintenance for all servers and backend network system upgrades for NA Servers.“

    So why on earth are the EU servers down for 12 hours if we aren’t getting any actual upgrades? Surely a reboot is on/off, done?

    It is a little bit more work than just "on/off".

    My point is, it sounds like EU are getting the standard maintenance we get every 2 weeks which lasts, what, 4 hours? So why are we getting the full 12?

    Did you saw last sentence "Included in the maintenance are the ESO Store and Account System." That is not only switch off and on like own PC and it is not only for pc, its for all megaservers. What about that Account system maintanence.
    What if it simply affected functionality. Then again, people will complain about not being able to log in or being kicked off the server.

    Length of Wednesday maintenance just before Whitestrake started: 12 hours.

    Length of today's maintenance just after Whitestrake ends: 12 hours.

    While they're saying it's a standard reboot, they're going to have to remove all traces of the event, update databases and loot tables, take the scroll of ferocity bonus off, test internally to see they're all working etc.

    That's probably why EU is the same length as US.

    I'm sure somebody somewhere scheduled a vacation day just to play ESO but that day has now been wasted because of maintenance. I'm sure that same person wants a free month of ESO+ or something because of it.

    Why maintenance at 12 am EST? That is only 9 PM here on the west coast. Normally they start PC NA maintenance at 1 am PST. Annoying.

    After so many years, surely should be automated process when the event ends.

    What I worry about is the Account maintenance is 6 hours longer than when the servers supposed to be up.

    That was a crucial bit of information that was missing from the English announcement, thank you diligent German forum mod person for disclosing it to us and kind forum user for translating and sharing.

    I was a bit baffled too; when they did the backend work for PC/EU the maintenance window for PC/NA was the regular 3 hour one rather than 12 hours (predicted, I seem to remember it was only 11 hours in the end).

    Didn't understand why all servers had to go down for 12 hours due to PC/NA backend work rather than, well, regular 3 hour window instead.

    Now I do, and this is a pleasing feeling.

    It is mainly just on/off. But its not just one switch...
