I crashed out of Cyrodiil, and trying to log back in get this:
What in the <insert a whole lot of swearing here> ZOS!?
@ZOS_GinaBruno Maybe let us know that you're going to throttle logins? What the heck is going on?
Holy sh<@&#÷&×&#& ... over an hour? What do we get to compensate for this?
@Psilent They apparently improved performance in this patch, so someone in management decided to reduce the number of VMs supporting the game to save money. 20% performance improvement, remove 15% of the servers, users get 5% improvement and it saves them money. Looks like someone showed up to work high, removed 50% of the servers by mistake, combined the code base for this patch and next patch by accident, and the QA team all took medical leave so they decided to just release as-is and hope that the player base doesn't complain too much. Maybe they'll give us a free non-combat pet in the hopes that we'll forget about the biggest debacle since the lighting patch.
You'd think they would invest in more servers. This game has to be raking in pure profit...It's not like it cost anything to make a fake digital horse and charge you $50 for it.

It just gave me a failed login and booted me from the queue. Now I am back in the queue, but the time is reduced, was 17 mins, now 5 mins.
Do you have a Perfected keyboard?
