    even that there is way do maintenance during gameplay/server online it would notbe cheap to swap whole system for it + even that it works in theory on mmo it would not work ;)

    No, this amount of downtime is not needed. There is an MMO that patches to live servers and another that can patch in 20 minutes. The problem with this game is that Zenimax are struggling to control their mega server. The tech is a little bit beyond them at the moment.

    You can't compare a mega server that can handle millions of players at the same time to an old school MMO server that could only handle like 5k online at the same time max.

    So in other words the amount of downtime is needed since they are stuggling with 'control of their mega server'?

    The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...
