    I would like to note it is not just logging in to the megaserver. I am logged in and there is significant delay interacting with NPCs.

    Managed to log back in but there were still some other issues... Guild store wouldn't load at all, guild chat isn't working, except for zone chats. Its very buggy atm, I'm just gonna hop off to bed.

    I think it randomly alternates errors to keep you entertained.

    Just an update here:
    Hi all,

    We will be taking the PC NA server offline shortly to address the ongoing login issues. We expect this maintenance to take around 2 hours. Thank you for your patience here.

    It is just weird. I can log into accounts from one of my computers now on both EU and NA, but the other computer is only able to login to the EU server.

    Why do I have such a strong suspicion this is MM-related. I swear to god I've never had that suspicion before (even though at times I ought to have)

    Addons don't cause this kind of issue. You need to have the client logged in before addons can even be an issue.

    I canceled my sub.

    When this game launched Shoddycast predicted that the cash shop heralded a coming wave of relentlessly orienting the game around microtransactions, and that the game itself would suffer for it. That's largely been borne out and acknowledged, but I'd go even farther. I believe the cash shop is the cause of these never ending performance problems. I believe that ZOS doesn't care about the core game itself because we've already bought it - they don't get any money by fixing something they already sold us. They only care about the latest bundle of reskinned assets they're going to sell you.

    I no longer believe ZOS when they say they're prioritizing these fixes. The crown store is their source of income. It's in your face the moment you open the game. The crown store works great and always has tons of new stuff in it. The quest givers that try to make you buy DLC literally chase you around town.

    The game itself gives them no direct income so long as there's a core of people willing to dish out for cash shop items. As a result, It's not the priority and it only degrades over time.

    As implied it's nearly impossible. But to be fair, lots of us have been able to log in through this, albeit sporadically.

    So why would a 2 hour primetime maintenance be needed after it was back and working fine? Getting ZOS'd. This couldn't wait till 4-5 AM tomorrow?

    It's a more serious issue that if left till later, could cause a complete failure resulting in days to fix.

    LMAO, my guild was just today talking about that time when a new feature that the MM addon creator put in pretty much wrecked guild functionality in ESO for weeks on end.

    I actually looked up MM on Minion earlier today...seems as though the feature which wrecked the servers back then (named "Turbo Mode") was very super powerful, to the point where even MM's addon creator pleaded people not to run it all the time. But people apparently didn't listen, and so began a multi-week saga which went something like this:

    First: Guild functionality was wrecked.
    Second: All addons used by trading guilds was "broken" by Zeni, essentially leaving many trading guilds blind and also causing chaos in guild trader bids.
    Third: At ZOS request, Turbo Mode was removed from MM, but they still did not restore functionality.
    Fourth: Issues was fixed.
    Fifth: Almost all addons were allowed to be used again, with the exception of MM.
    Finally: MM was allowed to be used again after several weeks of offline, with severe restrictions on how MM can pull data.

    I don't know if there's any connection, but MM has not been received API bumps for the last 2 patches (at least, if Minion is telling me correctly). It remains to be seen if Greymoor will mean the MM addon ceator will bump the API. Or if the addon creator decides to just not touch it ever again, to avoid drawing the wrath of ZOS.
    If you can't handle the heat...stay out of the kitchen!

    This outage is very unlikely to have been caused by an add-on. The suggestion it might be seems like a distraction actually.
