    You clearly know how to use the forums and the website, so calling this "unannounced" is a little much. They announced the change in maintenance times almost 24 hours ago.

    I dont have much time for BS. If they posted a fixed schedule time of when they are going to do the maintenance, then stick to it. They cant just keep changing it, and hope people to read the forum to find out.

    They announce a schedule, I adjust my schedule to fit so I can play and live my life. I should be playing now, instead, I am answering on a forum as to why I am not playing.

    That's your problem. And if the inability to play a game at a particular hour of the morning is that big an issue for you, you really need to understand that you're in the minority here. Most people have work (or are still sleeping) at this hour.

    They announced yesterday that the scheduled maintenance would not occur and that it was being moved to today. You were given plenty of advance notice. And we're getting a major content update today, so do you really want them to delay that?

    Laughs --- this not a standard maintenance. They are installing New Content Update Two (See patch notes).

    ZOS did post the info about the install 24 Hours BEFORE they took the servers offline, plus they are skipping the other days because this will take a while to install this new content update.

    Did you read the link I posted. I didnt make this schedule up. They made it. They stated that "Going forward, maintenance is going to be on Monday and Thursday". If they want to change it, then they need to update that thread. The reason I started this thread was not because I minded the maintenance time, but it's matching with what they told us. I know the majority of player play at a later time, thats still does not make it OK to keep changing the time. They might have announced the time 24hr ago that they will do a maintenance. But I didnt know that and according to their post of maintence time thread. This is unannounced. You cant expect me to read every forum everyday to get this info.

    Well, slow poke, I'll explain it to you again the way someone else did and you ignored it. THIS ISN'T SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE! IT'S THE SECOND MAJOR CONTENT PATCH!!!

    That is all.

    You didn't need to search for this or anything. When the maintenance yesterday was cancelled, the announcement was posted at the top of the screen (where it is right now) in every forum.

    It makes no sense to update the sticky about scheduled maintenance times, because this isn't a regularly scheduled maintenance. They aren't permanently shifting the time; this is a one-time switch to accommodate the 1.2 update. It's still a moot point, because if you checked that thread, you still would have had to scroll past the giant, colorful announcement banner.

    They announced it yesterday on reddit which is their prefered method of communication. Many many hours after reddit they posted something after the maint was supposed to happen yesterday saying it wouldn't happen. Then much later that night they posted something saying it would happen today but not a post just a banner at the top. When they took down the servers today reddit, facebook, twiiter were all posted .. then after everything they say something here. They really don't care about these forums at all.

    24 hours before this there was only a post on reddit saying they had tenative plans, then one post in one thread where a dev confirmed the tenative plans that were posted on reddit. Many hours later they confirmed in that thread. There was nowhere near 24 hour notice here on these forums.

    Again.

    Big, colorful banner at the top of the screen.

    That was definitely here yesterday. If you missed it, it's because you deliberately scrolled by it. Because it's big. And colorful.

    My guess is they wanted to make a last minute change to the big patch so it got delayed for a day. No big deal. There will be more awesomeness waiting for you when the server comes back up.

    If the earth were made of gold, men would die for a handful of dirt. Quote from a long ago movie, seems appropriate here.

    Please pay attention a little more in future and educate yourself. Then you mightn't embarrass yourself by making such threads.
    Just because you don't know what's going on doesn't mean there's a problem.

    It was here yesterday evening/afternoon but it was not there 24 hours before. In fact it didn't even state that the maint for yesterday was not going to happen at 8:00 am EST yesterday. It was about 9:00 about an hour after maint was supposed to happend before they even updated that it would be skipped yesterday, and at that time there was no mention of a patch today.

    No one gives a crap about what they are legally obligated to do. Why do people keep talking about their legal obligations. They are a business with a shrinking base what their legal obligation are make no real difference. Attracting and keeping customers is much more important.
