    I think the updates from Gina are fair - that's as much as she knows for now and she is responding to some questions also.

    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 plz

    Yeah she's not responsible for whatever is happening, and is taking time on a weekend to give updates. Last person at ZOS anyone should be mad at, but "don't punish/shoot/kill the messenger" is a very old expression.

    What did Leonidas do to Xerces' messenger?

    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.
    Ehhhh, not exactly. There's regular scheduled maintenance, and then there's emergency maintenance.

    It's like how with a car you do oil changes as part of your regular scheduled maintenance, but if you're driving and get a flat tire you change the tire as an emergency maintenance.

    And then if something's actually broken (like your carburetor died, or you were in an accident or something), you do a fix (ie. the equivalent of doing things like making code changes to fix what isn't working properly).

    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.

    I was talking about more than one NA server. Or did you not understand that? With 1T, instancing has now become, 'fill each instance before creating another one' instead of instancing for the different factions in the area. Fewer instances=strain. So either buy the hardware to run it smooth or buy/rent several servers like every other MMO does. Seriously... with as popular as this game is, who's bright idea was it to run it on one server?

    "Robert S. Trump (President, Trump Management, Inc.) (69 years old)"

    :worried:

    Wow that was fast. The whole post in this thread about the Zenimax Board of directors (and their ages) was quickly purged off this thread.

    What ZOS, are we not allowed to talk about who governs us, who really calls the shots in this game? Robert Trump is on the board of directors. Don't EVEN try to censor that because the CoC rules about political posts because ITS A DIFFERENT TRUMP.



    ZeniMax's Board of Directors:


    Robert A. Altman (Chairman and CEO, ZeniMax Media Inc.) (Almost 70 years old)
    Ernest Del (President, ZeniMax Media Inc.) (65 years old)
    Jerry Bruckheimer (Jerry Bruckheimer Films) (73 years old)
    Michael Dominguez (Managing director, Providence Equity Partners Inc.) (47 years old)
    Leslie Moonves (President and CEO, CBS Corporation) (67 years old)
    Cal Ripken Jr. (President and CEO, Ripken Baseball, Inc.) (56 years old)
    Harry E. Sloan (Chairman and CEO, Global Eagle Holdings, LLC) (66 years old)
    Robert S. Trump (Different Trump, Don't get triggered) (69 years old)

    All of these people are in their golden years and have NEVER played an MMO in their life.


    These people call the shots at ZENI, please don't censor.

    Hey guys, as you may have seen from the banner above, we are bringing the PC NA megaserver offline for maintenance to address the most recent connectivity issue. At this time, we're expecting everything to take a couple hours. We'll do our best to keep you updated as maintenance progresses.

    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 just saying "we're aware of the problem".

    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.

    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.

    You are probably right. These names are public information, and as most people can see. None of these have any experience in the gaming industry.

    This kind of stuff happens. There is no guarantees with writing code - they aren't just taking things off the shelf and selling them to us - they are creating the systems and writing the code for the game as they go. There are so many moving parts to it there is no way that issues like this won't happen. They are working on it and communicating w us.

    The world they have made in there is so creative and vast and fun. I find new awesome things in there every day - like have you ever had a river troll start attacking you by chucking a mudcrab at you? And then the mudcrab turns around and fights w you against the troll. lol

    I'm an ESO and a ZOS fan and just wanted to say thanks for what you do and for getting these issues worked out.

    Well as I said many many times on the forum, I was getting "Could not retrieve announcements" on the login page, and Error 200 "Login Failed" - haven't been able to log in at all since I got DC'd before the maintenance earlier today, about 8 hours ago.

    I have had no connection to the server whatsoever for the last 8 hours.

    It wasn't just me either, some of my guildmates were similarly afflicted (was able to chat to them on Steam, but we were all having the same issue of not getting any connection to the ESO server at all)

    NP, that's why I was asking if there was an update on the ongoing login issues - because I thought you might not be aware of the issues we've been having since the server was brought back up earlier today.

    It all comes down to the ZOS shareholders, they wanted higher margins, so sacrificed capable equipment and/or staff to cut costs and reduce risk. Grow a pair and you could end up with quarter after quarter of growth, or keep throwing out cheap tricks to get through the FY. Either way eventually the point will come where you have to make the decision to liquidate

    Can we please have new management now? Anyone but the current top management could make a gold mine out of this game.
    Email these people, This is Zenimax Media's Board of Directors.

    Robert A. Altman (Chairman and CEO, ZeniMax Media Inc.) (Almost 70 years old)
    Ernest Del (President, ZeniMax Media Inc.) (65 years old)
    Jerry Bruckheimer (Jerry Bruckheimer Films) (73 years old)
    Michael Dominguez (Managing director, Providence Equity Partners Inc.) (47 years old)
    Leslie Moonves (President and CEO, CBS Corporation) (67 years old)
    Cal Ripken Jr. (President and CEO, Ripken Baseball, Inc.) (56 years old)
    Harry E. Sloan (Chairman and CEO, Global Eagle Holdings, LLC) (66 years old)
    Robert S. Trump (President, Trump Management, Inc.) (69 years old)

    As, you can see none of these geezers knows anything about games more complicated than monopoly.
    @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?
    in b4 close :'(

    You are probably right. These names are public information, and as most people can see. None of these have any experience in the gaming industry.
    There was no intention of causing hate, but I can see the original was deleted. So maybe it is being construed as that.

    To be fair Cal Ripken Jr. does have gaming experience. Iron Man!

    Hmm, reading, leveling on EU server, or visiting Eorzea for while?

    (FYI, it's easy to swap to EU. Used to be a whole thing, now just a simple click on the launcher.)

    Where is this simple click on the launcher?

    To clarify, it's on the screen where you log in to your basic account, not the actual little launcher:

    PLAY
    SERVER
    SETTINGS
    CREDITS
    QUIT

    Click on server, then select EU.

    if I log on to the EU server, will it affect my NA alts in any way? Are my NA alts still perserved or am I locked in to EU now?

    No, it's like starting the game over again.

    Yes, but what about my 10 NA alts? will they remain untouched? I think you can understand my concern here.... I just wanna make sure nothing happens to those toons - Im happy to tinker around in EU if NA toons are safe.
    They remain untouched. I've had characters on both serves since launch (even though I only actually play on NA, since I briefly experimented with playing on both), and they're completely separate in every way. You can't send items from one server to the other, or interact in any other way between the 2.

    yes your NA toons will be as safe as they can be on the NA server
    when you leave your EU toons to go back to NA server, the EU toons will be as safe as they can be on the EU server

    It is 2 separate sets of characters... NA characters do not exist and are not altered in any way by playing on EU.

    Strange message i got before login out earlier :smile:

    Doing logging out bring me a new message, i dont remember well, but was saying that if i decided to do force quit to leave the game, my character would stay online.

    Never had that before.

    Waiting for the game to do it normally, took it 1mn 10s to log me out
