Maintenance for the week of September 8:
• [IN PROGRESS] PC/Mac: EU megaserver for maintenance – September 9, 22:00 UTC (6:00PM EDT) - September 10, 16:00 UTC (12:00PM EDT)

PC Maintenance Extended? Why?

    Why always PC-EU? because they don't want to upgrade it!

    I'm an administrator of a data center..and a reboot (only a reboot) for all the servers could last max 1 hour ...and I have 123 servers to manage.

    I hope PC-EU will be fine.

    Cheers!

    I am a designer of a highly integrated distributed system and we have to plan reboots a long way in advance because it can take up to 5 hours to both restart the servers and the services we run on them.

    Having said that we also have failover contingencies so customers aren't adversely affected

    What's the big deal with maintenance being extended? What's the big deal with playing 1 hour later?

    What's the big deal of making a big deal of people's post and complaining about it?

    You started A WHOLE NEW TOPIC whinining why the maintenance kept more than they said and you say that I made a big deal out of it? I only answered to your illogical topic, didn't start a new one for absolutely no reason. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE to have extended downtime during maintenance because unexpected issues are common with such complicated hardware and software. There is absolutely no reason to act as if they stole your sweetroll and stop making a big deal just because you lost a few hours from your play time.

    If you are not illiterate, maybe you should have realised that yes I started a new topic, but just STARTED it, all these so-called "whining" comes from different people with similar feeling making comments here. And if there is the slightest trace of sanity in you, you should have inferred that when a post is not off-topic and attracts so many comments, then it is not a "illogical topic" "posted for absolutely no reason" except by some truly illogical standard. And finally, if you are not so egocentric, you should have noticed that if by your definition anyone posting a complaining topic or comment should be judged as make-big-deal whiner, then this is exactly what you are!

    You started the topic when extended maintenance was announced. And just because others have the same mentality as you do, doesn't mean you re right. Their whinning is as absurd as yours. 10-100-1000 people with wrong opinions don't make their opinion valid or their negative reactions logical.

    Also, what I did was ask you a question, reply to your original post. I didn't start a new thread moments after the maintenance was extended, as if it was sth SO IMPORTANT we should worry about and whine in a separate thread about it.

    did it just changed to in progress from extended

    Yes, at pretty much the same time that the Bethesda Support twitter posted that PS4 EU was back up.

    Anyone else suspect that action on PC EU was being held off until all of the other servers were up to contain complaints to a single server?

    At least the server has now no lag at all - downside of it, it is as well not online - well, can't have both with ESO, I guess.

    If they've encountered an issue they need to deal with then extending it is all they can do. It happens. I want to play too but it isn't going to kill me to wait a bit longer. I'd rather they fix the problem that's cropped up.

    Honestly, this is the most eloquent, albeit biting, response I've ever read. And it's regarding a matter I am ambivalent to. It's an inconvenience at worst for me to not play today but there are people who moved their schedule according to a provided timetable that changed drastically. Harsh judgement for it is not ok but berating users who are mostly venting by joking is equally bad.

    Nah, we should all react as if it is the end of days, a meteorite threatening to wipe humanity from the face of the earth.
