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

EU server again left behind it seems

    It feels like someone's keeping communication on a short leash, forcing the visible faces to cut through a lot of red tape before they can announce something as simple as "maintenance is extended" before original planned downtime ends. I sincerely hope I'm wrong in thinking that there's some Type A personality at work here.

    That is not the same thing :)

    BTW I've logged in to NA server 15min ago with no issues. Thing is I have no collection items there and only lvl 3 toons and zero interest to play there with an empty account.

    Me neither, I play only on PC EU.

    It would be interesting to know what is so different about the EU servers compared to NA. I would expect that the procedure of an update is identical. Is the EU population so much higher, that any database changes take several hours longer?

    I also don't understand why. Both should be technically identical.

    What puzzles me is that my personal statistics say that the EU server is more often concerned by maintenance extensions than the NA server. There might be technical reasons for it - I don't know much about such things. What I know is that a company should keep track of such developments and preview appropriate ressources in order to avoid this.

    Working conditions. Compared to the EU, US working regulations are virtually non-existent.

    PTS should be fine then right. About 100 people play it, and it’s based in the US…. But nah. Clowns are clowning

    How do you guys feel about login rewards and dailies? Given that we didn't get any chance to actually play today...

    Same.

    I have a couple of hours more before it becomes unrealistic because it would interfere with rl stuff.

    Does anybody know what exactly it is that happens during maintenance? I've never experienced maintenance that was longer than maybe 4 hours in other MMOs and this is so extreme.

    This one's explained here:

    PTS has it's own maintenance. It has no set up or down time.

    Some of us insomniacs were up at reset to get login rewards. :-P

    I do however have 25 daily quests queued. :'-(

    I wonder where the physical location of these things are. Might just be that only 1-2 people are physically in the EU doing the work that 10-20 people are able to help with in the US?

    You'd think after 10 years I'd be used to EU always being left behind. But no, it's still just as disappointing. At least it has gotten somewhat better, the first five years it was a running gag that "you don't play on maintenance day". That was for regular maintencance

    Same joke used to exist on the WoW forums. Probably still does.

    My guess is 'further extension'.

    well the last extension was posted almost 25 minutes after server should have been up again, so it seems they are in general a bit late ^^

    Maintenance is still ongoing on for EU servers. No update yet. We updated the maintenance window in the banner above. We'll check back in a little after 2pm ET/ 6:00pm UTC if maintenance is not over around that time.
    How about 200 crown compensation the same as you gave everyone on the NA servers recently!! Our servers are an absolute embarrassment
