check the terms of service for downtimes and it will say when they will consider it not to be reasonable

Really....

They probably will, but I really wish they wouldn't. It always makes people feel like their whining accomplished something. So the next time servers are down a minute longer than anticipated, the forums get even more inundated with ridiculous polls like this.

When the power goes out for some time do you get reimbursed for that? Just saying..

Are you new to the MMO scene? This kind of thing is a norm for major patch updates. Seems to me that they learned that releasing a patch and not properly doing maintenance at the same time can cause a ton of issues. I for one am glad they are doing this, at least this way if something new is majorly broke we can blame them for not finding it after hours and hours of maintenance.

No. This is why you're paying them. To fix and add stuff. There's nowhere that says that maintenance cant or wont run over, and this is part of the mmo territory.

Well the terms say

"ZeniMax may patch, update, or modify at any time with or without notice to You.

Will they, maybe
Should they, Situational 24h downtime is the point i would in that position
Do they have to, nope

in that case no, people don't truly understand what it takes to keep this game running. That's why this is part of all MMO's TOS. If every person who bought the game complained about downtime and demanded free play time. They would sink into free to play, because that is basically what they are doing, letting you play for free, even though they need that money to actually patch things during down time. The moment this game goes free to play, is the day you see these content patches get smaller, mostly cosmetic, and only a few patches a year, no thanks they can take a dollar from me because i would prefer this game succeed, and continue to get better, if thats not cool with you, stop subbing and wait a couple of years to come back....wait no....don't come back, will still probably have down time, they ALWAYS will have down time

I think yes, but it wont happen. I'm sure ZOS dont want to have their game down for 10 hours, but if that happens, they should reimburse.

No, but I really wish I could start my next leather research

even if they were 24 hours late, that's what, 1/30th of $15, so like 50 cents. OMG that would be so totally awesome, 50 cents!

thats two hour parking on Jefferson Blvd.

Polls like this make me wish there was friendly fire.

I'm marking this comment as whining

No, however they should consider it for giving us beta level game play.

Why should they? These things need to be done. Sometimes they take a long time, sometimes they don't.
