Maintenance for the week of December 12:
• [COMPLETE] North American and European Xbox One megaservers for maintenance – December 13, 6:00AM EST (11:00 GMT)
• [IN PROGRESS] North American PC/Mac megaserver for maintenance – December 13, 10:00AM EST (15:00 GMT)
• North American and European PlayStation®4 megaservers for maintenance – December 14, 6:00AM EST (11:00 GMT)

so ETA when its finished? ETA in hours... ? no idea?
And What is GMT? the world time?

Seems to me like a amateur workshop that cant handle their own development. Its really Sad actually!

    It's what Time Zones in the world reference, or you know, the basis of time keeping for thousand years or so.

    Clicky dev tracky and see that its 2pm EST for estimated completion time, you can do the math for GMT if you like
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    They're time zones:

    EST: Eastern Standard Time = The time it is on the NA east coast

    GMT: Greenwich Mean Time = The time it is in London

    The announcement is telling you when the maintenance began.

    ETA is something entirely different, and is not included in the initial maintenance announcements, probably because they're rarely sure on their end how long the maintenance will take.

    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    Ah kids.

    This is why your parents shout at you to do your homework instead of wasting time on these games.

    Still, none of this will be relevant when you're an adult and the range of your world is as far as your remaining snickersfoot.

    We really need the server status back in the launcher. Having to reload the launcher constantly to see if the offline message is there is kind of odd at this point.

    GMT (Or Greenwich Mean Time) is the standard time, and all other timezones are based on that timezone. They had to start somewhere around the globe I guess.

    Yes i know GMT, that not the issue, they never tell ETA - Estimated Time of arrival - or time it would take.
    It never seem to fit the schedule they saying nor the time they starting the Maintenance.

    I'm Asking because these dudes is in US... and Standard time in Europe is CET not GMT...

    Maintenance time is always over when they've finished fixing whatever needs fixing, and sometimes maintenance can take a lot longer if certain issues,bugs etc need extra time to resolve.

    Therefore they can never give a 100% answer on ETA of maintenance ending.

    There are more places than Europe and the USA.

    Some of us don't use CET or EST *gasp*.


    Mayhap to avoid any issues around time-zones UTC should be used. Oh...wait. UTC is essentially the same as GMT.

    Whoot! Disaster averted.

    Never heard of CET and the default global time is UTC (GMT) - which I am sure is not CET but as I have never heard of it, I could not testify to that fact :) .

    I never know what time it is in 'EST' land. All I know is that in our summer the usual maintenance time is 10pm, in our winter it is 8pm and in between these seasons it is 9pm. All very inconvenient for us on the other side of the world.

    CET is GMT +1. All world time can be stated as GMT +n. Greenwich was decided upon as the centre of the world back when ships were the only method of inter-continental travel. At the time Britain was a super power that liked to colonise. Nothing more to it.

    CET is Central European Time; most of Europe is an hour ahead of GMT/UTC
