Are ZoS finding it difficult to source European hamsters?

This maintenance is one of the longest non patch maintenances I can recall. My local pet shop has a few hamsters in stock if you guys are struggling to replace those hamsters that were lost keeping those servers up and running. They served us well and will be missed.

Really not sure why maintenance should take so long every week. Other games manage in under half an hour, and some even just do a regular server restart.

Maybe something to do with taking all five platforms/areas down at the same time. And then maintenance is carried out one at a time, with each one coming back up once it is finished.

So the Americans (this week) are back up first, while EU waits. As NA is brought down at 4am their time, perhaps ZOS are getting this a bit wrong and EU should be done before NA?

Or maybe I've got the way they do maintenance wrong.

I was more referring to console as that's the only thing I pay attention to. I stand corrected if PC had a 12 hour one last week. We're nearing the 12 hour mark this time too.
