Almost 40 minutes over the extension now; no communication... the disrespect is unbelievable; we have no clue if the servers are going to come up any minute or it will be a couple hours; a one sentence update would be all it takes to let us know if we should go do something else with our time...

Communication is something ZOS really is not known for.

yup its been 8 years now lol since game release so....don't think it's changing anytime soon sadly

Takes less than 5mins to update the banner, even if it says, "ran into bad problem, no ETA for fix, sorry all"

ZOS should really have a better team which would be a connection between developers and players. Currently I don't know which problem is bigger; lies in communication or no communication at all, Im guessing both

For me worst is, no communication lol, its like the company is basically indifferent doesn't care and then basically just wants your $$ in the end.

They definitely will ban your account. [snip] In past few months I already have started to feel like in kindergarten. "Unbelievable" doesn't even explain it.

Jeez, so melodramatic. ZoS is very good about telling the players when it comes to maintenance, and is fairly transparent. I don't agree with a lot of their business practices, but overall they are much better than other MMO companies. Maplestory and their company Nexon is one of the worst, for example. This isn't bad, nor are they disrespecting anyone. Ya think they want the game to be down? No, they're losing money with it down.

No, not melodramatic. Just getting a little tired of the lack of communication.

Of course people understand maintenance is necessary. But when it is extended this much, it would be good for customer relations to at least acknowledge something is wrong, even if they can’t say why.

Would go a long way.

there's gotta be something else you guys can do with your time that isn't eso

i get it that it sucks you can't play the game for a while, but like jaguar said this is really, really melodramatic.

Irrelevant. The incompetence in terms of giving a proper update to playerbase is the topic here, not their fiscal returns.

I honestly find the just wanting an update argument a bit disingenuous. More often than not, most of the players complaining about no update would still be complaining just as loudly if they constantly kept giving extensions to maintenance.

It happens all the time. They announce a delay, people lose their minds when the delay lasts longer than initially announced. People lose their minds when Zos says nothing and delays it anyways. People lose their minds when Zos continues to communicate additional delays.

At a certain point, a delay is a delay, and no amount of communication is actually going to do anything to appease the players who are already looking to be angry at something.

Nope, there doesn't have to be. And for great many, there is none. It's just your presumption, which isn't necessarily a valid one.

They have zero respect.
It's mildly hilarious seeing people who have put me down as a zos hater for years slowly starting to get an annoyed tone in their commentary with zos too.

Even their biggest fans are slowly starting to see how toxic this is becoming.

I'm trying to imagine caring about a game this much. It's not working.

(gotta say, I've never felt "disrespected" by game developers.)
