    I have an image in my head:

    ZOS comes back from the long holiday break. The poor neglected servers sit in the corner. Like Indiana Jones finding an artifact, they gingerly brush the cobwebs off a dulled, red button that says "Maintenance." Crossing their fingers, with a grimace on their face, the push the button with dread.

    ESO Plus subscribers do not pay to play. We pay for certain in-game benefits; key word "in-game".



    They can literally take the servers offline for a week if they so desire, hth

    I wish they would, it'd be hilarious.

    In practice, that would be the same as shutting down the game for good.

    Two different IP addresses for to different realms "The engine" but perhaps they share the same Database servers. Can have multiple databases on same server. The login servers work the same. This would cause that type of behavior, though not good practice in the IT world.

    That is normally part of back end stuff, doing stuff on the database side of things.

    European PC/Mac megaserver for maintenance – January 4, 3:00 AM GMT - January 5, 7:00 PM GMT - January 6, 6:00 AM GMT - so... we can expect another maintenance on January 7, 10:00 PM GMT :)

    Thats when they'll bring down the NA server for a reboot before they bring the EU server back online.

    I guess, I will go jogging for a bit. Maybe, just maybe the servers will be backup when i get home.. or will it be another 12 hours????

    The fact that they're going to monitor the performance of the PC EU server before bringing the NA server back up suggests to me that they're not really sure if they've fixed the problem or not.

    Still, its nice to have an admin thread with regular updates for a change :)

    ESO Plus subscribers do not pay to play. We pay for certain in-game benefits; key word "in-game".

    Also, by downloading and installing the game, we did all agree to the ZOS terms of service, which explicitly state that
    ZeniMax will not be liable for any interruption of the Services, delay or failure to perform, any loss of Content (including, but not limited to, User-Generated Content and Downloadable Content), and/or Account data (including, but not limited to, Character data) resulting from any causes whatsoever. ZeniMax reserves the right to offer new Services, change and/or discontinue certain Services at any time in its sole discretion.

    They can literally take the servers offline for a week if they so desire, hth

    Sure that's true. That gives them limited protection legally, but take this into consideration ....
    Many players have played other games and it's been noted in trade journals that extended down times with unexpected delays and poor communications result in a loss of 3-5% of players base as they download and restart one of their older games and decide to stick with it for a while.

    This is considered a mature game and I'm amazed that server downtime messages are just: NA will be coming down at 4:00 am for planned maintenance. With no planned up time or duration of down time stated. Like somebody else said, under promise and over deliver goes a long way in the mmorpg business. Or you could be like Terra Nova ... Over promise under deliver and go out of business.

    i dont know what u guys are taking about 12 hours of non game play back in early access many of us who reported gold sellers god flagged by the auto ban system as gold sellers and it took them 4 days to reckognise there was an issue so 12 hours is nothing ....

    speaking of which i must drag out that chain of emails from that event it makes for very comical reading

    Now... if this is anything like the all day server problems we experienced in November... they'll tell us that servers are back online, BUT, they have to take servers down again tomorrow to finish fixing them.

    I think maintenance can be taken out of the equation at this point. It's more like disaster recovery mode. The maintenance window has come and gone even though and end time was never given in the window. I'm sure upper management is on pins and needles.

    It's almost quittin' time.

    They'll be back in the morning to take a fresh look-see at the issues over coffee and donuts.
