With so many trying to log in all at once, this make cause some issues for a few players. Though we thank you for your patience and we hope to have everyone through the door back into Tamriel soon!
Yet everyone keeps saying how we dont need any more NA servers. Really?
The speed of light is finite and measured. Network signals, like anything electrical, travel at the speed of light. Therefore if NA players were forced to play on EU servers, there would be latency similar to what occurs when people attempt to play games over a satellite connection. Put simply, it would not work. So for as long as we have an internet, all major online releases will require separate servers for Europe and North America. So nut up and wait.0 -

✭✭So let me get this straight. They are doing maintenance on the maintenance they did earlier?
Nope. Not at all.
Maintenance, as clearly advertised is on Mar 6 for PC/Mac NA-EU.
So this is obviously the second attempt at the fix to the pre-maintenance before the maintenance they did earlier.
If this one doesn't take, we're going to have someone post a flow chart. Big arrows and catchy fonts and everything.....

Thank you Gina, any info is much appreciated.
Do you think I will be able to log on after this second maintenance is done? Some of us haven't been able to connect to the server for 7+ hours with the only response being that it is due to too many people trying to log in at once - I was talking to friends on Steam chat who were happily logging in and out of the game during that time, yet there was no acknowledgement of the problem some of us were having connecting to the server other than to say to wait a bit - but then still couldn't log in after several hours, and no new info or even just a post saying "we're aware of the problem" - that would have gone a long way tbh, those of us with login problems felt a bit abandoned.
So yeah, any info, any news, even if it is bad news, is better than nothing. Sorry that you are having to do this on a weekend.Edited by Epona222 on March 5, 2017 2:57AMGM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

But whoever at Zenny is responsible for the servers/hardware together with the current 'settings', e.g no CP test etc, need to take more accountability.... Whoever you are, come out of hiding and do your job plz1 -

Yeah she's not responsible for whatever is happening, and is taking time on a weekend to give updates.

Zweible✭✭✭I love how they keep saying "taking down for maintenance"
Maintenance is what you do to keep from having all these "Houston, we have a problem" issues. This is not "Maintenance". This is "Our stuff is breaking down without notice."
Glad to clear that up.

@ZOS_MattFiror maybe if your company cared more about delivering a quality product than milking every dollar out of us. The game would run alot smoother.
I disagree with the age thing. Im 54 and have played and programmed games since before there were hard drives. But you're spot on about quality vs the bottom line. Too many companies figure that if they arent making uber profits, it's a fail and forget that a business runs a 2% margin for profits is successful.
I dont think its necessary to list these names here again?

I agree with you, my dad is elderly and got into computer games as soon as having a computer at home was technically and financially viable (a few decades ago now), and I am no spring chicken myself.
