So new launcher, which is all lit up and the play button is there. I launch the game and choose the EU server..... fine so far. Log in and..........
Then is says that the game is still under maintenance so I log out again
The little light saying online/offline had its uses you know.

    I feel the same way, it's sad that they took away something that worked and was useful.

    However, it's because they have attempted to harmonize the launcher/client so that you can log into either NA or EU. If you have an account on both of these then you don't really have a realm - because you can choose. But you can only choose when you give your account details (at log in) because your account is linked to EU or NA.

    They should have changed "realm status" to two indicators, one for EU, one for NA.

    Whoever decided to remove it... oi. There's not even a link on the launcher to the server status. Yeah, you can go to the support page, but that page is fairly cluttered.

    It is quite well known that most players never ever come near these forum (hard as that is to believe) Lots of confused folks out there.

    They are, but the best option in terms of user friendliness, is to display all necessary information without forcing people to search outside of the software they are attempting to use.

    The launcher just needs an indicator light for each server.

    Should at least put the server status light on the website for the time.

    Plus a little simple indicator that updates almost in real time is far more convenient than hitting F5 over and over.

    You could launch launcher and check realm status. Now you must either launch game or launch browser and than check eso forum. It is short time but still wasted time.

    Maybe that's temporary, and it could come back later.

    As noted in another thread this wasn't a priority fix that would hold up an update. They are working on adding the indicator back in future hotfixes. Essentially they ran out of time..

    There must be a lot of players looking at their launcher clicking unhappily away..... priority fix or not, so damned annoying.
