So, it's the second extended downtime in two days and the forums are heating up. This made me notice the text above the forum list.
It is a time of strife and unrest. Armies of revenants and dark spirits manifest in every corner of Tamriel. Winters grow colder and crops fail. Mystics are plagued by nightmares and portents of doom.
So, was this pre-ordained? We are certainly in a time of strife and unrest here on the forums, and I sure consider bugs to be as bad as revenants. The servers grow colder and connections fail ... I think you see what I'm getting at.
