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)

So how long are we expected to remain offline?

    FYI: Today isn't the start of the Wrothgar event, that's the 2nd. Today (the 1st) is the release of the new dlc, Wolfhunter. So it's a hefty update that will take a few hours.

    Yeah maintenance at peak playing time sucks. It happens on all MMOs though. I had the same problem when I played WoW. I guess there just aren't enough of us in Aus to worry about :(

    The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

    We thank you for your sacrifice.

    However its the many that start to complain now. 2 times major downtime in 2 weeks for the eu is just rude. Even more, why do they have to fix the server in germany again?

    Actually... the release of Wolfhunter DLC isn't until August 13 for PC/Mac and August 28 for PS4/Xbox. The Wrothgar event does start August 2 though :)

    That is not true. Wolfhunter will be released on August 13th on PC.

    My mistake. However, it was my understanding they were loading Wolfhunter into the system with this update. To alleviate a larger downtime later.

    Also: How the hell do they do this kind of long maintenance on a different day and time, without TELLING US in some kind of announcement?

    Well, the banner up top did say that maintenance would be today.

    Why Kai Schober, who seems to be restricted to the German forum in his official capacity, is the only ZOS employee able or willing to give any additional info though...Beats me. Can't be that hard to put up a notice "data center maintenance yadda yadda, expected to be up about late afternoon CEST/before noon EST".

    I'm quite sure that there isn't any European English-speaking CM, the English forum is run by the US CMs/mods.

    With all the long maintenance periods ZOS implements I have to wonder why the major performance issues and bugs that are continually reported are never fixed. I am sure this maintenance will be no different. Several hours of down time and the patch notes will show a few minor bugs being fixed, skills that were not working as intended nerfed etc, etc, etc.

    While waiting find something else to do.

    From what I understand from other posts, this isn't a normal ZoS maintenance, it's a datacentre maintenance. In which case, nothing in the game will have changed – there is no patch and ZoS didn't really have any control over it.
