So... we got this BIG-ass plane, loaded with servers, travelling from the US to the EU. I'm no pilot but I'm assuming its about 1/3 - 1/2 way across the Atlantic about now?
@Zenimax if you guys could just radio the pilots and ask them to roll down the window and give us a wave as they go over the UK.
Oh... and plz ask them 'not' to flush the toilets while anywhere near Milton Keynes

gurluasb16_ESO✭✭✭✭I think the server is already in place. They're transferring data to it I think.2 -
Blooddancer✭✭✭I didnt get round to reading up on this, is this for real? flying servers across the Atlantic? Ashton Kutcher is gonna pop his little face out any second now...
It'll be well into the night before they get things going again.

forbarcusb16_ESO✭✭✭People are still in belief that they're actually moving the SERVERS to Europe?

Eirikur✭✭✭If they were putting their US-based datacenter on a plane and flying it to Germany (enormously cost-inefficient I think), the server would perhaps be up in a month or so. A datacenter isn't something you just unload and click the start-button on.

rbenkepub19_ESO✭✭✭I very much doubt that this migration entails actual transportation of servers. My bet is that they set up a new server farm in EU and are just transferring the data from NA to EU.0

Blooddancer✭✭✭In all seriousness this is the old chestnut of not getting any sort of ETA on hen things will be back online... I know there is a project plan somewhere with a big red triangle or gold start on it. Personally I would rather have an estimate that slipped than to sit in the dark.1
