EU Maintenance ETA?

Brucas · April 2014

Can we get an estimate for when the EU megaserver maintenance will be finished?

Maintenance? where did you hear it was maintenance?

Distilled · April 2014

Login screen

FryingBullet · April 2014

It's on the login screen currently.

I think maintenance is going to be the new euphemism for cockup lol

SafeForSure · April 2014

And server status forum. They took server down.

this is going to be a long night

mkorny · April 2014

it's quite obvious... if a server goes down, it's for maintenance... even if a minuscle patch/fix... it's always considered... maintenance

3 hours more than likely so about 8:30ish GMT

Hexi · April 2014

Hey, at least it's not in the EU primetime this time guys.

Oh... wait...

Brainzee · April 2014

Fixing the servers implies they are performing maintenance operations.

What do you call it when you change a tire on your car, volleyball?

Miezi · April 2014

I wonder why they didn't put this info up on Twitter - wouldn't that be the appropriate location for it ? Maybe they don't they like having a history there...

Soraellion · April 2014

Fantastic, Saturday night and guess what...

You do know that login server went down 1st hence causing the now maintenance?

ArconSeptim · April 2014

...maintence lol

My one wish when they do this (and we all know its a screw up not maintenance) is that they would give us an idea on time. Is this down for a cup of tea, a long walk or a good book.

It's called fixing. Not sure why that needed to be said, but clearly it did.

You FIX a server/car/boat and you perform MAINTENANCE on a server/car/boat. Two different things, fixing something is when something broke off or went bang, maintenance is when you're changing a filter, cleaning, backing up and running database tasks.

Azaelia · April 2014

well they had to do something when half the server cant even log in.. like it or not! woulda been worse to leave it as it was.. they have done the right thing imo

Azaelia · April 2014

and yes.. time to enjoy some beer!!

Primetime. On a weekend. And a UK Bank Holiday weekend at that!

I know it's unavoidable maintenance to fix an issue, but this won't stop the flames! I'll just grab me popcorn and crack open a cold one to watch the show

Rhynchelma · April 2014

It's a breakdown, maintenance is the excuse.

Sathyrion · April 2014

Indeed! Beer number 2 is almost down

Miezi · April 2014

While the difference between fixing and maintaining seems obvious, ZOS doesn't seem to distinguish between the two. Which I'd think is adequate since it's most often both anyways and we usually can read up patch notes.

Now, let's hope that this downtime is worth it and actually improves things that the last patch made worse. Oh, and... maybe we finally get something against botters and spammers...
