@ OP and all who are frustrated right now:
I get the frustration but I suggest not coming to forums in the future complaining that something in-game doesn't work if you're gonna get your hackles up when they're taking their time to apply fixes.
The thing is, most other games can get this done in a quarter of the time it takes ESO/Zenimax, if even.
But this isn't other games. Regarding comparison to other games, I would submit that WOW is a good basis. But WOW actually goes down weekly. Most often for 4-8 hours with common extensions to 12+ hours.
Really sorry but this isn't correct. I play WoW as well, on an EU server, and I've been playing since the game launched.
For at least the last two expansions, the vast majority of 'maintenence' is simply a weekly resetting of the servers, which takes 30-45 mins at most. I know this because I am a night owl, I'm often playing during the shut down. I make a cup of coffee, have a brief surf of the web and and the servers are back up again. If there is an event or a patch it can take a bit longer, but these are few and far between.

Let's just hope that the currently extended extended maintenance fits within the extended time window.
