Guild History Disabled AGAIN?!

SammiSakura · August 2020

@ZOS_GinaBruno sooo have you guys disabled the guild history again?
Myself and several other GM's are currently perplexed, and pretty annoyed!
How are we supposed to do our management without it AGAIN?!
Can we at least get a heads up before you do this or something?
Are we gonna lose all data between now and it coming back?
When can we expect it back?

Facepalming hard rn

After relogging (closed the game and logged in again) the complete history of all guilds i am in is gone (Guild, Bank, Sales, Aliiance War all empty).

I tested it without addons, same issue.

With the bids coming up in less than 2 hours, this is a very pressing issue!

Lets move bidding to Tuesday they said. It will fix everything they said.

TBF, this was always a go to strategy from ZOS when the servers were struggling with bandwidth issues around new patches and events. Though a heads up would be nice, it is also an admission of the low quality awaiting anyone jumping on, as such, I really can’t see them ever doing that.

Game needs more servers. It’s really that simple, and they would rather ignore and wait for the influxe of players to subside than even aknowledge the issues as they know can not do anything about them. Except disable some systems to buy some bandwidth.

In fairness, we kind of let them away with it all the time too.

Whenever people are complaining about trial instances, about log-in errors, about delays and dysync’s. Everyone should just be shouting “More Megaservers When?”

Hey all, it should be turned back on now.

Thank you so much for a speedy resolution ^_^

Interesting. I wonder if it was to protect the database servers from the influx of players doing the post-Update lookie-loo, or whether it was to protect the newly updated database workers from abuse until they were sure they could handle the load.

Hey all, just another quick update on this. You may see Guild History turn off and on periodically as we work to resolve some back end issues. Thank you for your patience here.

Elsonso · August 2020

Ah-ha! Those new database workers are picketing in the streets and refusing to work unless they get better benefits.

Great timing on this... as usual....

Heads up, doing that during trade swap day is bad idea.

But it's the better time they said.

SammiSakura · August 2020

well it seems pretty broken right now. Waiting 20mins was better haha. Now we have kiosks but guild page and finder dont show it

When is zos going to CARE about the guilds in their game? Shutting off guild history on the day of trader flip should tell every guild owner just how zos feels about you.

sooo, seeing this now, I imagine it is safe to assume that whatever this was/is about is tied to the whole guild trader flip not going entirely correctly?
