    Been over half an hour and my husband is stuck on loading his character in.

    I have been stuck loading into a cave for 10 minutes.

    Time to go do something else me thinks.

    What did you expect? The game is sub par by far. Main quests bugged, quest leading to new zones even bugged. F2P when Wildstar comes out!

    It is not subpar. I've been playing for a couple weeks and today's the first time I've seen any trouble like this. They'll fix it.

    Yeah, well would be nice to hit 50 without questing in Cyrodil

    This must be another Beta Crash Test
    Loading times are so long I actually fell asleep at the Keyboard

    The Server God's are angry tonight, please make the appropriate sacrifices, and reboot the MegaServer. Maybe you could invest in a GigaServer since the Mega server seems to be lacking a bit.

    As much as this is the best mmo to come out for ages... these megaservers just seems like a bad idea... cyrodiil too laggy to enjoy, consistent problems logging in, zone loads, etc.

    Can we give them a month to work the bugs out before we declare their entire server architecture flawed beyond repair? It's a little premature, especially considering how many consecutive days of smooth operation we've had.

    Quick! Pull up Skyrim! Maybe she won't notice.

    it doesn't help that you have to log out and in when your game become unresponsive basically overloading the login system. I am sure that stresses it needlessly

    After a lengthy load time getting into BC, I immediately crashed. Now it is taking forever to log back into the game. It's been about 20 minutes so far.

    Thanks for letting us know. :smile: It is good to know that they are, at least, aware of the problem.

    Thanks for the update Gina. Hope to hear good news or at least an explanation soon. Is it a DDOS thing?

    I guess Firor shouldn't have been promising lag free experience if they didn't want grief for it ,

    I didn't expect them to hold up their end , but he should have known better than to say that.

    Love the message at the top
    "We are aware some of you are experiencing long loading times or lag. We are looking into this now, and will let you know as soon as we have an update. Thank you for your patience."

    By "some of you" do they mean nearly bloody everyone?

    Why do you guys keep investigating? every issue you just investigate but never solve the problem. Maybe hire someone with an IT degree to take care of the servers and someone with a software engineering degree to fix the bugs. Oh and get a hotel motel management degree holder to reply to emails. If you want to run a company you need to hire people with the proper skills.

    In the end it's a self-correcting problem. The longer it continues, the less popular the game will become. Eventually the number of players will drop to the level the server can handle. No worries!

    My god, he's found the answer! Hire professionals! That's genius!

    Zenimax, what WERE you thinking hiring janitors and short-order cooks? Silly development studio.
