What the hell is going on, first time in five years that I'm trying to login and face a login queue (currently 8:30 pm friday EU)? 8 minutes is actually enough to watch a series instead given the high amounts of time I get disconnected/ kicked when playing. Did the servers just come up?

EDIT: Actually you can skip queue if you get kicked from the server so its not that big of a deal. Link to Matts post:

    Approximate wait time: 30 secs, and waiting at that number?! Now this is ridiculous!

    EDIT: Ok, finally in.

    Agreed it's annoying having to queue, but they've released a statement as to why is happening and are working on getting the servers upped to handle to increased load.

    Look at it as a good thing though, as more people are enjoying and playing the game, which in turns adds more life to the world and means content etc will keep being added at the rate we've come to expect.

    None of us want to queue to get online at peak times, but it's happening and it will be fixed as soon as they're able to do so and after that, everything will be back to normal and the player base will be increased

    ZOS confirmed they had PETA raid recently and they had to give up 80% of hamsters.
    servers are struggling because hamsters need sleep evey now and then between full speed carrot chase in the wheel

    Not to mention that there are tons of new players flooding in. LOVE IT.

    What they confirmed was not infact a surge in playerbase but instead the fact that the game is declining in population & have moved the PC Servers to a lower hardware configuration. This was done during a transition at the end of January.

    They most likely re-allocated the premium servers they own to another Zenimax/Bethesda company service, or sold/rented them on to a 3rd party company for another game. Either way the service we have now especially on PC EU is not even close to the performance we had pre-January. Which is saying something because the service/performance prior wasn't fantastic either.

    PC NA most likely haven't noticed because they only have to deal with the Japanese (JP) & Central/Southern America playerbase whereas PC EU has alot of the African/Oceanic/Asian playerbase + a larger playerbase in general.

    TL;DR They are running the game on minimum resources to maximize cash & trying to flip it to market it as a positive.

    Queue is great because I have reminded myself that there are some other games which are great and I can save 14e/month on my subscription. They are making milions every month on subscription and crowns with relatively small team working on this game and still they can't afford a proper hosting and most funny is that there are still people who white knight this xD

    According to Matts post this is total BS, ironically the opposite is true. Spread your hate elsewhere

    This game could have been fantastic. A timeless example of how to create, maintain and manage a MMO game & community.

    But if you've been following the progress of the game over the years and watched the way they let problems pile up & pile up, preferring or pretending to be ignorant of the day-to-day issues faced by their community, and instead of dealing with them keep releasing content they know or don't care is broken or will break existing content with very little quality control or testing.

    It's just mind-boggling that they have any paying customers left at all. If the game didn't have the Elder Scrolls name in it it would have been dead as a dodo years ago due to the constant incompetence of the decisions made or not made.

    So no it's not easily brushed off as 'that guy is crazy, he must have tinfoil hat'. Sorry.

    You overestimate average gamer's IQ and lets be honest here - there is no other branch where you can completly disrespect your customer and get away with this like in gaming industry ;-)

    Nice idea for scroll of login queue skipping.
    For just 50 crowns you can skip login queue for a day ( 13€/30day ) and you can use this service just if you are ESO+ user!
