We are very happy to announce that Update 1, including Craglorn, will hit the live servers starting tomorrow, when we’ll be bringing the servers offline to begin deploying Update 1. This update delivers new four-player quests and delves, more exploration, our first 12-player Trials, and a host of fixes and improvements. Offline maintenance will begin on Thursday, May 22 (tomorrow!) at 8 AM EDT for the North American megaserver and at 10 PM EDT for the European Megaserver. Craglorn and the rest of Update 1 will be available to players after the end of the maintenance period.
Well I was wrong, I've said for a while Zeni would pre-announce the release it with more pomp and hype, they didn't...lol
Well played Zeni, I tip my hat to you !

Hodorius✭✭✭As a European, living in Europe and playing on the European Megaserver, why give the time as 10pm EDT?
Because the average american believes they are the center of the world and everyone uses this crap.
They should use their secret military time called "zulu"... or "GMT" like the rest of the world calls it.

Pretty much.
You are talking to international customers so use the international convention GMT/UTC. But who could be surprised having our EU server located in Texas, anyways?2 -

The average American deals with a single country that spans 4(minimum, dont remember if HI uses AK time) time zones whereas most of Europe does not.
On top of it, a few states such as AZ dont use daylight savings, spending half the year at PST and half at MST.
That said, I deal with Central Europe often. Its 9 hours ahead of me.
Canada doesnt use GMT either btw.1 -
Zintair✭✭✭✭I am very displeased this is happening JUST before MDW. I understand that every country doesn't celebrate that holiday but still its a kick in the ***.

You are right... wo do not deal with 4 timezones. ( 5 with hawai I think )
We have 5.
( actually it´s 4-5 depending on stuff I dont care about )
That´s why the International Standard Organisation ( ISO ) did a great job "inventing" standards
Using them makes life easier for everyone.

There are hotfixes and then there are eso hotfixes. To me, hotfix usually means a patch that only requires a server reboot. In eso, hotfixes often means hours of downtime. Note that I don't mind "hours of downtime" if the game needs to be patched. I am pointing out the difference.0 -

Actually because the average Bethesda employee assumes the average earthling can do simple math.
Perhaps they shouldn't give a timezone at all. This way its fair for everyone as we all have an equal chance of figuring out when the actual patch goes in, barring the frustration one would feel that all Americans are self entitled because of the timezone a gaming company listed for their patch release.

Esxcuse me, because Ive taken several years of maths in the university and Im yet to be teached what the NA acronyms for timezones mean and wich are their relations to the ISO norm for timezones, GMT/UCT.
I hope Im teached it soon so I can stop being an earthling.0 -

NA = North America as in NA megaserver. EU = European Union as in EU megaserver.
ZOS being a company located on the East Coast of the U.S. usually tells time in EDT = Eastern Daylight Time. New York City, Washington DC are cities on EDT.
ZOS uses CEST = Central European Summer Time for EU megaserver maintenance. Countries like France and Germany are on CEST.
This is for the summer months.0 -

If you didn't learn the awesomeness that is WA in ''years of taking maths'' ask them for a tuition refund.
The only thing I learned from math courses is that one should avoid doing any calculations always.ESO forums achievementsProud fanboiElitist jerkTrollHaterFan of icontested(rainbow colors granted)0
