Maintenance for the week of December 22:
• NA megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)

Why does maintenance take so long

They don't exactly fix anything, no performance difference, are they just using this time to count their money?

    Yes. That's exactly what they do.

    They turn the servers off then use the tears of the players to water down their $5,000 whiskey and lighting cigars with $100 bills.

    Here in fact is a leaked image of Rich from the ZOS winter holidays last year.

    Otherwise it might just be because ZOS takes a while to patch things, not everything has to be turned into another "ZOS is a big mean company" issue.

    Probably because they back up all the data, clean up the databases, load any patch there might be and then test.

    Not a quick process.

    takes a while to hook up the new hamsters to the servers. It isn't an easy process with animal rights and what not these days

    The way their server is made allready causes enough problems when the system is running. My guess is it's a long enough, old enough, and complicated enough apparatus where a simple reboot isn't possible. LIkely multiple reboots or reboots that need to be done in sequence.

    It's not that fast to travel from US/Canada to EU server and to turn power off and on.
    Even using aircraft.

    That's not Rich. The lack of shorts is a key indicator.

    See I was going to say it is Rich because the lack of pants is a key indicator. Hmm... Do we know anyone at ZOS who doesn't wear either?

    I was thinking that since Bethesda is the publisher for ESO while ZOS is the developer, it could be someone from Bethesda
