[Suggestion] Display Server downtime/maintenance on Launcher

Hi guys,

I understand there are inevitably bugs that will pop up in MMORPGs from time to time and cause downtime and maintenance in extreme cases, such that we have seen recently.
Having the Service Status on the website is great, along with the feedback from the Community Managers and ZOS Staff, but we really need some of this information to be displayed on the launcher.

Current start up procedure:
1- Start launcher
2- Start client
3- See that game is unavailable
4- Check support website

If point 3 could be placed in the launcher, with a link to the support website if there is an issue, this would negate having steps 2 to 4 and a lot more understanding from players that currently don't bother checking the website, along with less frustration on their part.

Just a suggestion and a simple solution that would help both the community and ZOS staff going forward in the future.

    Seems odd this isn't already the case, so I definitely agree it's a good idea.

    Would be a nice small convenience to have!

    There's a news window in the launcher, they could just pipe that in...
