Are servers going to be back online on schedule?

'...we are currently targeting opening PC NA and EU servers around 10am EST/3pm GMT on Friday, December 13 and will update on the status of console realms shortly after'.

Would be good to know if there's going to be a further delay as the incessant anguished yodelling of my ESO addicted flatmate is driving me and the neighboughs dog nuts, and I'll need to make plans to go out for the duration.

Take a walk for your mental health, take the dog with you for his mental health, and check back in in 10 minutes

It's pitch black outside.

And below freezing.

There's no way in Hate I'm going outside again.

It gets dark at 4pm these days, we can't just stay inside like we didn't invent flashlights. Wear light colors, put on a hat and FEAR NOT THIS DARKNESS, it too shall pass.

Of course not. Last time a major mishap happened (the PTSpocalypse) they told the affected players that they'd be unlocked after 3 days.

We got strung along for 11 days.

It gets dark at 2 pm here, I'm night blind, and flashlights don't help.

I do have a reflective vest in the off chance I have to go out, but I do no go out alone in the dark. Have a really bad case of CSS (Can't See S....)

Who knows, it's IT.
The correct response to your question, especially regarding recovery time for a massive service outage like this is always:
YesNoMaybe-ish

FWIW I think @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_JessicaFolsom and others have done a fantastic job communicating regular status updates in the pinned thread, well done!

Well seeing as its 3.08pm GMT right now id say not - then again they said "around" - so i guess its "stay tuned"

Well, it is Friday the 13th

I would think they would give us at least a little update since they just busted their timeline.

I sincerely hope they don't go ahead with their livestream today if servers are not back up.

barney2525 · December 13

well, it's 9:10 CST ... which is 10:10 EST ... so ... probably not going to hit the target.

Melivar · December 13

The Live Stream has nothing to do with the people working on the server issues. No reason for them to not give people something they may have been looking forward to.

It has been 8 hours since their last communication.
And in Western Europe it's 4PM local time...

TyrTrolas · December 13

I think they are back, I am in.

Their previous update was at 1am their time. I for one think it's good that any of them that can sleep, did sleep.

Did you write the time down? Last I saw, I recall seeing a post around 8p -ish EST but I wasn't paying much attention and now I can no longer see timestamps on any of their posts so IDK how anyone would tell unless they jotted it down.

Either way, perhaps they were struck with a denial of wakefulness outage due to a huge hole in their sleep schedules?

IDK about anyone else but nothing quite hits the spot after an brain intensive, stress-filled, extended-day like some good ol Not-Being-Awake time.

Greetings,

With there already being a thread opened on this subject here, we're going to go ahead and close this one down.

Thank you for understanding.
