    Turns out it can't be the monthly rewards. Those are already active on my login.
    I'm kinda secretly hoping that since it's starting at 2 I can get back in and game in 2-3 hours, but I'm also secretly dreading that it will just be extra long double secret maintenance until like 6/8AM :/

    *Edit - Also something to note. I know Tuesday's are a big day for games, but I've seen many of my installed games get updates today. Many more than the typical Tuesday...or any day for that matter. Maybe something to do with Sony and Microsoft??

    If you’ll notice- they’re also updating the PTS. So, all live servers AND the PTS...

    Orsinium Event starts August 2nd, so they probably have to set that up.

    Isn't that the day the Orsinium event starts? Probably need to make the changes to the servers for that event.
    *smacks forehead* DUH, I forgot about that! That might be what it is!! I had a thought in the back of my mind that it might be too soon for the update and DLC release. Ah well, I'm excited for the Orsinium event too, so it works out for me!

    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.

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

    Doesn't say patch.

    I wonder if this means that Update 19 and the Wolfhunter DLC are coming? :open_mouth:

    What do you guys think?

    No. Updates are on PTS for 5 weeks customarily. I am sure there has been an exception but probably no one that was for a shorter time.

    We also tend to get a day or two notice and I cannot recall a time when all 6 servers received an update on the same day. Consoles are delayed due to third party vetting of updates.

    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.

    Yea, my first thought was data center work. After a second I was like duh, NA and EU servers are in different cities. lol

    Seriously. Zos has found THE solution to the performance issues in Cyrodiil and they want everyone to experience the exciting fix at the same time instead of having consoles merely hear bout it for weeks on end until they get the update.

    Not to worry, consoles will still perform sub-par. After all PC must continue to feel superior.

    They have done it twice before that I recall of it, but normally for quick hotfixes they where down to fix something really game breaking, but first time for this long I think.

    Everything we do will be intergrated into the crown store.

    Pick up a quest, crown store opens.
    Complete a quest, crown store opens.
    Port to your home, Crown store furnishing section opens (a twist, the plot thickens)
    Kill a dungeon boss, Guess what happens.

    Ok, I digress. we will see in a few hours.

    Is there actually any official announcement about this anywhere? There seems to be nothing in the maintenance forum, I'm not seeing the usual banner thing about planned downtime, just an in-game message about "the servers are going down lol".

    Edit: I see the big yellow box has finally popped up at the top of the forums, rather belatedly.

    Perhaps everyone at ZoS needs some downtime to drink some wine and relax collectively LOL.

    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?

    That’s a good thought Santie but I was able to receive my new months rewards before the server was taken down.

    Yeah after I read this the other day I figured "duh, new rewards" and assumed that was definitely it. But since rewards unlocked a couple hours before the maintenance.... now I'm stumped.

    That yellow box has been there since the weekend for me. Maybe you dismissed it earlier. That is how this thread started.

    All servers are down - not just the live gaming servers. The account system and ESO store etc are all down too. They do not usually take everything down at the same time, so my best guess is that means ZoS is doing something across their server / data centre architecture, possibly an infrastructure upgrade.

    Right. It won't fix the lag, but at least CS can spend their days denying refunds! :smiley: <-- that's a joke, BTW

    You know, I always thought Betty White was a stamblade, so this makes sense.
