Hey guys,

As we're approaching the 4 hour mark, we wanted to let you know that we're looking at a couple more hours for today's maintenance on the NA megaserver. Thanks again for your patience and understanding - we know you're anxious to play!

Well, in the patch forum they posted a note four hours ago saying four more hours - so hopefully any moment now.

Hey, these are first timers at online games. You all know it and many of your can (Ultima Online) recall other first time (EverQuest - known as EverCrash) efforts that had (Hellgate London - went down and never came back up) problems the first year.

So that's your choice. Either wait out the first year before you start of jump right in and have stuff like this happen.

Na... its called internal testing. At my place of work, I have internal test beds/environment to imitate our prod environment - I test all changes there, so when I need to implement into prod, I can follow my tested script and hardly ever have major issues ;-)

Difference between your test environ and production isn't several hundred thousand to a million people all trying to log in and break it at once is it?

Most test environments just simply do not provide the same conditions live does.

Its applying a patch to a server environment lmao ... who is currently trying to log in while this is being applied? Oh yeah, NOT A SOUL... lol

But yes, you can imitate to a reasonable degree "traffic" as in said live environment.

Such BS, why not do this in the wee hours of the morning.

Cyberwolffe · June 2014

I was hoping that the servers would come back up before I have to leave for work so that I could start the patch download and be ready to play when I get home after work. Guess I'll just have to let it download while I'm sleeping then I can play in the morning.

Nsain · June 2014

So are we getting reimbursed a day of gametime for this update? 4 hours is one thing, over 8 is another.

Idk but this just made me really sad.

Why is that?

Curse you ZOS, not only has your slow patch day caused me to go outside, I have also finished all my chores........have you been plotting with my wife again?

Because that would make too much sense.

You can leave your launcher open and it will update automatically, though you'd have to leave your computer awake.

SeidoDragon · June 2014

we are approaching the 4 hour mark.....that's the 4 hours after the original 4 hours? and now add a couple more? wait what? so a couple more hours from now?

I was just going to post this myself.

Because ZOS has a history of proving how incomp. they are, they constantly punish the NA server who they make the most money off of.

Correct, when it comes to subscription games, time IS money. Unless hidden away in some EULA they claim that maintenance and such issues are non refundable time lol - it is ESO after all ;-)

24 hours in a day, game costs 50 cents a day, it's down for 8 hours leaving you the possibility to play for the other 2/3rds of the day, you really want 16 cents reimbursed?

Tigger62077 · June 2014

At this point I'm hoping they comp us. It's minorly ridiculous. I understand that coding and implementing does not always go as planned but we've been out a considerable chunk of play time. I'm glad they are finally updating us, after we complain a bit - communication is good.

LOL they updated it, just as you posted that.

We have in the past, so one can assume so. You could also request that they mail you a check for $0.16 for your troubles.

Synd · June 2014

ESO!! You should have psychiatrist recommendations on the forum pages.Should be ashamed of yourself or all of the people losing it over a server downtime. I am deeply concerned for their overall mental health!!

The money isn't the issue. 8 hours of game time isn't worth anything. 8+ hours of MY time, however, is worth a hell of a lot more.

Then be sure to tell your boss that you want a raise. ZO, however, has to price their game time according to how much it is worth.

jeeze... its just a game.. if my kids threw the tantrum some of yall are, I seriously would whip their butts. Chill out, relax, breath.
