ever play the movie name game?
If I say the movie Batman, the following person must say a movie starting with N.
Simple rules.
The last letter of the only word or the first letter of the last word.
Example 1
Shawn of the Dead , it would be a D for the next person.
Example 2
Armageddon , it would be an N for the next person.

I shan't chillax. I'm prepping my pitchfork as we speak!

actually no it doesn't. read your agreement, downtime for maintenance is built in. Stuff like this happens. If its down for days, then yes compensation is needed. But for outages of 24 hours or less... that's an inheirent risk in any online game. And I am a subscriber...
depends on which part of the world you are in.
this for me is not acceptable.
for me this an online game on console that is down a total of 48hrs in a month in scheduled maintenance, crashes, now its been 4hrs since i cant login and have no redundancy plan wont deserve my sub.
all online games have downtime, sure ... but compensations are always in place for such users.
be it game gold, free mount upgrades etc....
for it to be down for days?
i am sure not just the subs will be screaming.....
oh another thing .... the server isnt down.
i have friends that are actually playing atm, its just their connection gets routed differently in their country.
so its really an ISP/connectivity issue, which i am sure can be mitigated.
but sure lets just be patient and let it fix itself, because there is afterall no compensation or penalty for these things and eso can be down as and when it likes.Edited by jonjees on August 28, 2015 7:16AM0 -

Okay lets play it your way. Zos provides compensation for this (which I think is a silly idea). They turn it over to their insurance and then their insurance premiums go up and so do our subscription costs to cover their insurance. Alternatively they just eat it and then raise their subscriptions or push back one of their major updates in order to pay for it. No thank you.Greeniewolfub17_ESO wrote: »for eso plus members, it is still a subscription.

Oh giveover - Zenimax probably has insurance to cover outage that affects their business. Stop making out that they are some hapless little victim here. They can give subscribers an extra day and claim it against either their insurance or against the network with the problem's insurance.

Listatta✭What I've been able to find out, is apparently a network device broke in Chicago. This device is a tier 1 network device (tier 1 means it's the top most support device, everything in that network depends on that device, sort of like your brain or heart in your body) Since it's a tier 1 network all the smaller companies (most of the names we are familiar with for ISPs) that connect to it are SOL. Ya know the old adage **** rolls down hill?
They apparently didn't have any replacements on site and it's being shipped in.
The twitter page that of that company:

No problem. Thanks for posting there, it will help to keep it a little more concentrated to an area where players can at least find the info they are looking for more readily and the two of us on there trying to help others don't have to keep reposting the same thing over and over again. lolFar too many characters to list any more.0 -

Also grants the caster Major Anxiety which causes gives the caster a 100% chance to refresh the ESO forums every 5 minutes.

I have heard of Sony giving some kind of refund for extended downtime because they sell the subscriptions. Zen only gets a cut. Haven't seen anyone produce anything to prove a refund. Could try that route. They did say they had to fight Sony a bit for it.0 -
