✭✭✭✭Please stop calling this "maintenance".
Maintenance is something you do routinely to help prevent unexpected downtime like this.

From wiktionary, "maintenance" is defined chiefly as "Actions performed to keep some machine or system functioning or in service."
If you're going to be a semantic pedant, at least have the decency to be right.3 -

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).

Care to explain what's going on with the servers? What's causing the issue?
Here's my history with ZOS.
Unless it was a third party issue, they'll never tell us
And it seems players have been *conditioned* to simply accept that we won't be told - that goes for a lot of things.
There will even be *fanbois* who will tell you to 'quit your whining', 'take a walk' or whatever.. It's as if Zenny is beyond being transparent or being held accountable.
Many of us who play are not 10 year old kids - We are adults often in long term professions, IT, science, Law, marketing, retail and every other profession you can think of, or students and many other things.
I still dont know why we are getting 'conditioned' like this.
Because they have a bottleneck problem. To many people are playing all at once. It will not be fixed. EVER. There. The truth is out. Find something else to do on Saturday night.0 -

You repair something that's broken. You perform maintenance to prevent something from breaking.

Every large company makes a product that frustrates their customers and doesn't give them what they want and has abysmal communication skills? There has to be a lot of terrible big companies out there then.0 -

I have paid a crap ton of money to ZOS over the years of playing this game, and we seem to have the same exact problems every week. The lag has been an issue since launch. I was in the middle of a Maelstrom run with one of my best scores and you just bent me over once again. About ready to pull my funding on this game.
Yeah, I feel the same. The thing is, there are hordes of people on this forum that deny these problems altogether. I started a thread about the problems I was having and loads of people turned up and told me it must be my fault!
Aww, there's always gonna be someone taking the whole "personal responsibility" concept just a tad too far.
Yesterday in a raid the whole group had a couple pretty bad lag spikes, yet when someone called out lag when only half a group was lagging, their internet was blamed.
Oh well/Skye Cloude - Sorc DPS, Master Crafter. Main, the bestest
Lae Lenne - Templar Healer Trial grade.
Dromede - Stamina Nightblade, she's a newb and doesn't know what she's doing
V'oghatta - Stamplar pretending to be a tank
Ulville Thonvella - aspiring Fire Mage, be careful around her fire sticks!
Dromedaris - lost and not found. Named after a shoe, what else can you expect from her? A proper tank in her wildest dreams
Swims-Naked - too pretty to grind, too silly to quest.
Sun Flair - Dunmer Templar that can't spell for life. To bad she's too broke to afford a name change... Well, at least she's pretty...0 -

Bottleneck - haha.. how many is too many ? 500k, 1 million ?
Stop trying to tell people to 'Find something else to do on Saturday night.' - by the way, its a rainy Sunday midday for me.. I do what i want - even if it means trying to play a game I pay for.0 -
