Server going down in 15 minutes?

Amiliana✭✭✭I believe the Europeans are safe to go to bed, and try again tomorrow
I am playing other games and surfing various forums while waiting, so I am not too stressed about it not being up yet.
In all honesty, the later the better, as then it tends to be much less people online! ^^
By the time the servers were going down, people were killing all NPCs in whole Golden Coast so it was quite troublesome trying to finish my assassin quest
It's only 10.30pm here, I'm not 12 years old!
I sure hope you are not, as the game is 18 rated
I just meant that it will be late before it is back again - not much time left to play anyway
(Unless they stay up late, like me, not having to go to a job.)
Actually, it's rated 16
Where are you?

✭✭✭✭✭Looking forward to play again, craft bags are awsome and really like the champion point gift
It is as well great for us lower level players - we got some extra skill points, which makes the experience so much better. The game really opens up with enough skill points. But I am not using skyshard add-on, so I have to find all the shards more or less by accident. So I have in average less skill points than someone at the same level, but using that add-on - and these extra points from the DLC are quite helpful for my characters.
The crafting bag is just awesome, makes life so much easier for my 8 character team - which will soon get some extension, but i have no decided yet, what kind of character I will add next.2 -

Either way, I'm glad ZO acted quickly against whatever this issue is. It's late, my words are tired.
Oh, the game was recently bumped up to an 18 Rating due to some new content I think.Edited by ComplexityBrit on May 31, 2016 9:48PMAugustus Northguard, of Northpoint

I hope that the server is brought back up today and not offline for the rest of the day. Some other games I have played have done this with their dlc's. Moral of the story be prepared for everything and always have your own people test for glitches, exploits and hacks before launching.0 -

It's in Grahtwood, in a crazy woman's basement. She lives in a hut and farms pumpkins despite being a Bosmer. Salad-breath oathbreaker, that one.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.2 -

ZOS is forcing me to go outside and risk the wrath of the mysterious yellow ball in the sky.
I have left instructions with my attys. to begin legal action against ZOS if I am harmed in any way. (I have heard rumors that that yellow ball burns people!)
I will post further updates as they are available in this thread...
I went outside. I had heard rumours of this "yellow ball in the sky," but I never really took them seriously. Let me tell you this: the yellow ball is real. And it. Hurt. My. Eyes.
I wouldn't mind the name of your attourney, @LrdRahvin . We may be looking at a class action, here.
no you are not, class action is excluded in the terms of service.
Ha! TOS's are 99% unenforceable in a court of law.
Someone here thinks they know all the legal ins and outs of a legal system. This one finds this most humourous. Go on enlighten us with exactly why a ToS is not enforceable. Bring in exact law to prove your point or go back to that pitiful cave this one avoids due to the stench it exudes.
BTW there is a reason most gaming companies do not lose lawsuits that are related to or are covered in some way by thier ToS.
One of the first things you learn in computer science is that there is no way to prove, that software is bug-free - it is simply impossible - so if a company made a real effort to fix it, but couldn't, it cannot be held against them.2 -

@redwoodretired_ESO
Note, this is based on emails I got from the officers of some guilds, they called it a potential issue, so maybe this is for something else.
There was a glitch with the guild banks and the crafting bags. Where someone who had crafting bags and accessed the guild bank could empty out the crafting mats in the bank if they had withdrawal privileges. Probably not a huge deal for most guilds, as this is usually officers and trusted people who have this, but it all gets mixed in with your own stuff making putting back what was there a bit of a problem. Then with other guilds that have loose bank access, it could be an issue. Most of my guilds froze their banks right after servers came up (I was on in minutes after).
I don't know if the guilds work the same way on the PTS so perhaps this issue never came up on that platform.Edited by Nestor on May 31, 2016 9:59PMEnjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

That causes you to immediately bring down the servers...
Before you've even developed a potential fix...
Much less tested it to verify it you're even on the right track...
Meanwhile the server has been down for several hours and remains down...
Whatever it was, it must've been one nasty exploit.
What we're working on fixing wasn't an exploit. We've been investigating and pulling together all the details (thus the lack of details initially.) We will share the details in our hotfix messaging.6 -
