"Hello everyone,

Beginning at 6:00pm EDT tonight (in about 25 minutes), we’ll need to bring all European megaservers offline for maintenance. We recently identified an issue that, if left untreated, could impact your ability to log into or stay connected to ESO. We anticipate downtime being approximately 3 hours, and will let you know as soon as maintenance is complete.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Now it is 18:51 EDT!!! In Germany it is 00:51 I just came back from late Shift and this not-announced Maintenance last now for 12 hours ? Is this a late April Fools Joke ?

    18:51 EDT = 6:51pm EDT

    Unfortunately, we still use that am/pm nonsense in the US, like miles, feet, and m/d/y.

    Use the UTC time.

    It started around 1 hour ago at 22:00 UTC, which is 0:00 in Germany. As stated above it will last approx 3 hours. You might want to consider going to bed, as your reading or math is kinda off! :wink:

    Edit: Bolded important part.

    It's in the US... learn US time or play EU server. That simple.

    Playing the EU server isn't going to make America use the date/time correctly. Plus the server is down for maintenance so we can't. Queue the buttmad from no-one specific.

    Makes perfect sense... It being ZOS is in Boston Mass USA. Now if this were an EU company and I were feeling like the OP, I would ASK them if they would accommodate me instead of being a demanding child. But that's me.

    Did you read the announcement? It includes the UTC time. That is what the OP should look at to avoid ambiguity.

    Not sure why you felt the need to confuse things by being contradictory.

    Yup...(6:00PM EDT) and it's now 7:22 EDT. That's 1 1/2 hrs so only halfway thru their estimated time of completion. Simmer down Jr.

    Nope, still makes no sense. You said "learn US time or play EU server". OP does play EU server, which is why he is impacted by this. The entire "or" part of your statement is nonsensical, and a failed attempt to sound clever and superior.

    disconnects are rampant today on US server too it seems....cant get past character selection on PC NA. and this is why i jumped from EU TO NA....sigh.. honestly - all the events, features, maps, trials, claseses- motifs all that crap dont mean a thing if your game isn't stable and smooth. It is THE most imperative thing for an online game and yet it feels like its an afterthought here. i wouldn't mind the game going offline for a week if it meant that they could fix everything- update servers - and give us an oceania server- so we could be rid of all this. its truly disappointing to have invested so much money time and not be able to play continuously for more than 15 minutes.
    I'm sure alot would agree. just give players a compensation of crowns and gold upon return - make an event of it- or divert everyone to the PTS - and I'm sure the player base would forgive a week offline- but the constant interruptions and inconsistent- unreliable nature of what we have now just sucks.

    Announcing EU server maintenance in a US time zone is just dumb, cater for your audience, its not that hard, being an international company this should be standard operating procedure.

    and dont give the 'american company' talk, we all know that, but the target audience it would be easier GMT time.

    Its the small things...
