According to the banner, all (Live?) megaservers in all geographies are being taken offline at 2 am ET on Wednesday.
This is the first time that I can think of where they have done them all at the same time, along with the account and store. Wonder what's up?

✭✭✭✭✭Things that make you go Hmmm.....
I know. Hmmm... There are different datacenters, so it isn't to do some datacenter work. Unless they happened to schedule it for both datacenters on the same day. I am trying to think of things that all the platforms and geographies have in common that would force a simultaneous maintenance, rather than doing it at different times.
I wonder if someone like @ZOS_KaiSchober would be willing to share.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

I considered that, but then looked at what they are doing for the Orsinium event.- Orsinium DLC game pack and the limited Collector's Bundle should already be in the game, so account system maintenance is all that should be needed, if even that.
- Pariah's Pinnacle home and the Malacath's Chosen Furnishing Pack. These are returning items and should already be in the game.
- Double items harvested from crafting nodes and double rewards. I can't see they would need to go to this level effort for that, since this is not the first time it has been done.
Unless they removed this stuff from the game, or it is broken, and they added this event at the last minute, there has been plenty of time to get the Orsinium event into the game.
My thought is that this is related to the Midsummer event, not Orsinium.Edited by Elsonso on July 29, 2018 1:00PMXBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

And if they needed to re-add it, this particular maint is still 24hrs before the event, so why not use the actually scheduled maintenance windows?lordrichter wrote: »ShionRasenka wrote: »VaranisArano wrote: »Orsinium Event starts August 2nd, so they probably have to set that up.

It could be (I fervently hope) that they're putting in the fix for when the invisiterrain glitch causes the upper ring to disappear while fighting Voriak Solkyn in Maelstrom Arena, as the double drops will also be there (and thus a lot of people, likely myself included).
I mean, a guy can hope, can't he?1 -

Yeah, it's really unusual to schedule a complete maintenance. It smells like a serious patch for something.0 -

Swifigames✭✭✭I don't think it's the first time they've all come down at once. I believe it happened last year at some point as well, at least once.
Though they haven't done maintenance at 2am in months, so I'm guessing it's going to be a rather lengthy downtime if they're starting that early.

✭✭✭✭✭Khajiit would assume it might be because of the new month's rewards?
Perhaps with the issues last time they need to have the servers down to make sure it all works before letting it loose on all of us travellers yes?

I hope it is to fix the pvp, but it may be to fix some stupid glitch people are taking advantage of.
