    I heard a rumor that the hamster was fed up with the working conditions and ZOS is now scrambling to import a new hamster under the new h1b visa guidelines.

    Nonsense.

    I am a subscriber. I pay to have access to the game. If they are not providing the access to the game I am paying them to provide, I have the right to expect them to deal with me in an honest, transparent, and forthright manner.

    I don't really care if they're waiting for a server part or if they found a piece of code they needed to rework, but I am glad they posted an ETA for the fix. That meets my expectations.

    That's much better than what they pulled this weekend when I tried to log into the game, the login failed to connect, and the Help link took me to a page that claimed the login issues had been resolved. Nobody appreciates a boldfaced lie from a company you're giving money to.

    The maintenance isn't extended. This is just the difference in the time it takes between a light attack and a heavy attack. Maintenance is now about resource management, so it takes a little bit longer, but you get the same end result.

    Wrong. Acces to the game is free after the initial purchase, it is not part of the subscription, you subscription only covers the extras; monthly crown allotment, craft bag, extra xp etc.

    Araniwen, Altmer Sorcerer..................Llirasa Andralu, Dunmer Templar...................Marzug gro-Borgaz, Orc Warden

    Calinchel, Bosmer Warden...................Jahrel-Xei, Argonian Nightblade....................Cienri Maraeud, Breton Sorcerer

    Inara Savicci, Imperial Templar...................Garoric Attilus, Imperial Dragonknight............ Maevina Tallian, Imperial Nightblade

    Yeah let's start a logic war.

    I'd like access to my craft bag now. I payed for that, yes?

    I would mock you, but it would be redundant.

    Having successfully removed the server blades the maintenance crew misplaced them in the server rack they are at present looking at all the pictures on the walls of the server room looking for the correct sequence my suggestion would be the whale then the fox followed by the bear either that or try aligning the moons.

    Guess I can quote myself yet again;
    This is how many times in a row now? Come on guys, you're doing a great job as far as I'm concerned, but these maintenances -which are supposed to be just that; maintenance- shouldn't take this long. Sure something can go wrong, but for something that should be routine, just how often can it go thís wrong?

    How many more years do you think you'll need to finally figure it out? Maintenances here are going wrong far too often for way too long.

    If a routine routinely goes wrong then it just becomes a feature, not a bug.

    I will be ok with the long maintenance if it actually fixes something now instead of getting servers ready for more bugs on 6-6-2017. The list of working stuff is getting smaller than the bug report lately.

    You must have the thread in question "bookmarked". At the top of thread page next to the title is a "star" that will bookmark it and auto send responses to your e-mail. Un-check it and problem solved.
    Funny how ppl are so quick to blame ZoS for everything.

    Hey guys, just posted a thread about today's PC maintenance here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/338710/extended-maintenance-on-pc-4-24-17

    In short, we ran into an issue and are currently estimating wrapping up around 3pm EDT today (in about 4.5 hours).
    Since the servers were fine at the moment you took them down, the time-honoured "if it ain't broke don't fix it" would seem to ably apply.

    In the mainframe world "preventative maintenance" is usually viewed with horror by users, it's the time their nicely running system is taken down by the engineers only to be broken for umpteen hours afterwards .. did ZOS hire some old IBM/Unisys/etc. engineers for their servers?

    The server was not fine. There was a error 200 that was causing a lot of problems for lots of people.
