    The server has been down for 8 hours. Is this normal?

    It did not take this long when the game launched in 2014 :(

    Ohhh yes it did. Remember the pre-launch time we got for pre-purchasing? I remember, with hilarity, the numerous threads wanting a refund because they didn't get the full pre-launch bonus time. After launch the halts for emergency maintenance due to bank exploits and banks disappearing.

    This is not in green text, this needs to be in green text
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    I usually read/study.
    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.

    Listen to music while looking at skyrim mods that I can play around with, drawing as well.
    I have been a member of ESO since April 4th 2014 but didn't get a code until recently when I asked.
    My @ name on ESO is the same as on here.

    Open up the forums and realize I hate everyone that plays ESO (we have extremely toxic forums on patch days, which pretty much highlights the general playerbase), and question what I'm doing even playing this game that I can't play one day a week every week.

    Consider rewatching some television series I loved. Consider starting playing some other game.

    Patch days are overall a very negative experience for me, every time. I'm getting progressively more annoyed with them as the weeks go on.
