Long load times, lost guilds

holmes.lab16_ESO
Had an excessive load time. Restarted game and got in, however all 5 of my guilds were gone as well as my friends list.

I had to log out so no idea if anything else was affected.

    Having the same issue with load times. Just like last night just sits on the loading screen and that is that.

    I had the same issue, but I stayed on my characters and after about 10 minutes my guilds returned. The other weird thing was all my add ons had been reset to default states.

    I am recalling something from a few weeks ago where someone at Zenimax explained that when the overflow servers were used that guild and friends lists would not be available because you were not on a common server anymore.

    Maybe this is what you are experiencing?

    Same here. Thought last nights shutdown was supposed to fix the lag and load screens.

    The server is lagging so badly right now, that's why your guild and friends lists aren't showing up.

    Are you on the overflow server? Guilds/Cyrodiil/etc are unavailable there.

    Also same issue with guilds, contacts, addons reset, and also mail missing. Do we need to email support or will it resolve on it's own?

    How do you know what server you're on?
  • holmes.lab16_ESO
    Could be it. It would be nice if they did a general message when you get bumped to overflow server "you are on overflow, etc etc" so that people don't panic. Unfortunately I can't log in again for a few hours to see. Maybe they'll fix things by then ...

    Overflow was supposed to be optional. Play on this or wait in queue. Id rather wait in queue than be put in overflow.

    You do receive a message before being redirected to an overflow server asking if you'd like to wait on queue or go overflow. So no, we're not in an overflow server, it's an excruciating lag.

    My guilds are gone. It definitely didn't tell me or ask about being put on overflow.

    Please LOL my comments. I'm an aspiring comedian.

    Friend/Ignore & Guilds will appear after a few minutes.

    Chat is laggy due to server stress.

    That about sums it up. No reason to worry.

    Well one good thing about overflow. The botters don't seem to be there, at least when you first get put in it. ;)

    This. I can deal with pretty much anything when it comes to issues, but the attitude from ZoS , lack of communication (or last night's 5 minute server shutdown 'warning' which they might as well not have bothered with) is what's really starting to aggravate me. We have all paid good money for this game and, ZoS would hope, will continue to do so into the months ahead. But bad faith and lack of communication are by far the hardest things for a developer to put behind them, because it undermines trust - trust in the product and trust in the people (just ask Bioware).

    ZoS - talk to us when you START looking into an issue, not after several hours of screaming on the forums. These are the first few weeks of launch and will absolutely define your next couple of years success.
