Also, I am very sad to lose time while ESO+ Trial is going on. Literally 8 hours? It makes 1⁄3 of a day.

Wow is also patching today so there'll be a period of time with no game for me. Might as well go to bed at 4.0 -

As someone who is an ESO and WoW gamer as well, you got my sympathies.
SWTOR can at least keep me semi-occupied for a bit, but might need to do some cleaning/job hunting while waiting for ESO to come back up.
Edit: Or SWTOR could be down for maintenance too. (internal screams)Crazy the servers are down for maintenance after being down for 36 hours lmao
The difference is this maintenance/downtime was planned. The one you're referring to - the 36 hour downtime - was not. As a matter of fact, ZoS has already admitted that said 36 hour outage, which was the worst ESO has ever seen since the game launched back in April 2014, was a near worst case scenario, one which may take weeks to fully recover from.

Uuuh, difference between OP's first post and mine is 7 hours according to time tags. So; I am not sure if you calculated right.
(snipping videos for length)
That was my bad - I wanted to get a hangout thread up and running before I went to bed, since 4am Eastern is an ungodly hour - even for me. Apologies for the confusion.Edited by arena25 on December 17, 2024 2:16PMIf you can't handle the heat...stay out of the kitchen!0
