    why cant they do maintenance at night , when most players are offline.

    You can't please EU and US :) Take it the good side, it leave you time to do chores you can't when game is online :P

    Most games do the maintenance at different times per region.

    Hell, even WoW has separate maintenance for the Aussie servers.
    They did, and then people complained NA players would have a headstart on EU players in terms of "first clears"...

    I've yet to see that complaint in WoW... even though iirc it's the EU that has the head start.

    omg

    They must have had their reasons. But they could had done the EU and NA maintenances at different times:/
    No they couldn't. It's now 1 client install for both NA and EU, so any time they do a patch maintenance it has to be done at the same time for both EU and NA. Back when you had a separate client install for each megaserver they could do patch maintenances at different times.

    Working with programming is not easy at all. There are codes that need to be re-architected correctly this takes time, including to submit those codes to the tests. ESO is an online game that caters to many players. I do not expect anything different from a complex system.

    But of course, for those who do not understand anything programming, easy to complain.

    Could you hold the answer in why they changed that?Seems we would be better off with that schedule ^^

    This is some kind of mockery. Wait for so long to get worsening. You get used to the rules of the game, and they are changed every week. Players are held for dull cattle.

    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).

    Thank you @ZOS_GinaBruno Let the devs take a break afterwards! They well deserve it for being up for so long, and working hard!:D

    I can't say for sure why they changed it, but my guess is that it was for 2 main reasons:
    1. So players who want to play on both megaservers don't have to have ~ 120GB of HD space used up by having 2 installations
    2. To make client/server version control easier to keep on top of

    Yeah thats the why, development environments seperated from production environments. When you fix something on development environment, you just inject it to production, they are not writing 12 hours of code mr. programmer.

    If what you mean by that is that there are pros and cons to each approach, then yes. There are advantages and disadvantages to requiring 2 separate installations for the 2 megaservers. There are advantages and disadvantages to having only 1 installation to access both megaservers.

    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.


    think they are using some apple crap server....
    or IBM crap....

    Right, because UO and EOS are practically identical in every way. I mean, they're both games, right?

    Speaking of which, I know how to launch model rockets so clearly I should be Flight commander of all NASA rocket launches. :P
