    Agreed.
    A time frame is nice but I'm sure they would've given one if they knew.

    Better to be sure of what they're dealing with than missing a server up ETA.

    Hope its up soon though

    Get off their nuts dude.. wow lmao

    Wasn't aware I was on their nuts in the first place. The only nuts I'm on are Molag Balls :3

    We currently don't have an ETA, but go ahead and stay up and wait for us to get you one. We hope to have an ETA on our ETA soon, perhaps. We seriously have no idea what we're doing, and haven't since beta. Don't worry, we will be free to play in a few months. Until then:

    Yeah, it would be nice to have an eta. But what I have a problem with is this: who the hell shuts down for maintenance on a Saturday night?!?!?!? Wouldn't it make a little more sense to do this on a Sunday, starting somewhere around 1:00am and going on from there? I guarantee it would go over a lot smoother with the community. I, for one, am really pissed off about this. Saturday night is my down time: no dinner, no laundry, no getting anything for everybody, you know Mom stuff ? And it's when everyone in the house KNOWS it's my time and to leave me alone. But what about people who work M-F and need to be in bed early? The weekend might be the only chance they have to stay up late and play. You screwed the pooch on this one Zen.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno If there is something i learnt during 8 years of software development, is that often it is more important to say whats going on and give people bad news, than to say nothing and leave everyone with high expectations and not be able to deliver them.

    Also, as a developer, i've never seen a bug that an entire team of developers can't squash together in less than 4 hours. So my advice? Just say its gonna take the highest amount of time recorded for ZoS developers to fix a bug (they should keep tabs on how long it takes to develop features/fix bugs) and be done with it.

    If I client calls me in the middle of the night saying his software stopped working, or has a serious vunerability that needs fixing ASAP, I am NOT ALLOWED to not give him an ETA. Really, if I don't, I lose my client forever. So I just give him some random big time range in which Im confident i can fix almost any possible bug, and hope for the best. Most of the time im able to fix it in less than what I said, and my clients actually get happy because I did such a great job!! And if I happen to not be able to fix it in time, I apologize and give another ETA for him. If it was my fault to begin with, I also give him a discount or don't charge for maintenance hours.

    Edit.: Oh yes, almost forgot: I also inform him that the issue was correctly fixed, and promise he will never have the same problem again (at least not the same one). I also deliver a decent technical document describing exactly what the problem was and how it was fixed.

    I absolutely agree with you (since I've been in the IT scene for 20 years now)

    I would like to see some compensation gametime on our accounts for all this downtimes, it'll be a nice touch :)

    I'm sure once we log back in we'll be bombarded with their fan mail. Personally, I have 1 thing to say on the subject:

    "My mailbox is ready."

    "Surprise me. Say something intelligent."

    Problems w/ zoning and login were going on long before these idiots recognized the issue to bring down servers.

    I can understand this, but they did have a lot of emergency issues they had to work through.

    Everyone is so hostile towards ESO maintainence. The only thing I was caught off guard from and still am really, is the "free" 30 days of game time that you have to get through paying and then getting a refund back. Other than that, love the game.

    Like last night for example. Early this morning would have been the time to fix these issues. Because they're pre-existing problems.

    Edit: When I say early, I mean like 3 or 4 AM

    just as soon as they figure enough people have given up and gone to bed, to lessen the load on the servers. Midnight pacific is my guess. Usually slows down considerably at that point of the night and the server will be back to its happy self and zen will take credit for doing something.... when all they did was shut them down and bring them back up after the peak.

    Most mmos do this type of string you along bull. They never admit it's server overload.. cause they won't spend money to add capacity when they know a month from now it just won't be a problem anymore.

    If that is the case then in 19 days the problem should cease to exist altogether then.
