ZOS_KrakenadminGreetings,
After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.
Thank you for your understanding.

ZOS_KevinCommunity ManagerHi All, we had a hotfix that has added a 3 minute timer between megaserver logins depending on your platform. That is most likely why you are hitting the 103 error. This is intended. If you wait out the 3 minutes, you should be able to login no problem. We updated here for consoles and PC.Community Manager for ZeniMax Online Studio and Elder Scrolls OnlineDev Tracker | Service Alerts | ESO Twitter3 -
ninibini✭✭✭✭a better technical experience? I have a different definition for that.
that's a very annoying change for someone who plays on both servers.16 -

I think "a better technical experience" gets filed under the "calling it rain" category.
Yes, I know that swapping megaservers too fast will sometimes cause weird errors, so I usually wait a little bit before swapping. But "wait a little bit" usually meant 10-20 seconds. 3 minutes is 10x longer than what's needed here and most definitely does not deliver a so-called "better technical experience".
This is ridiculous.Edited by code65536 on March 27, 2023 4:00PMNightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

I agree with the others that this is a pretty frustrating change, but maybe if the game had better error messages with more useful information, this wouldn’t be a problem. Error 103 tells us nothing about this arbitrary limit.5 -

Thank you for letting us know what's going on, @ZOS_Kevin.
Having said that, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not gonna wait out the 3 minutes. I'm just going to log on less.6 -

All fair and good if that's a needed change, but perhaps update the error message to reflect that. It would save a lot of hassle both here in the forums, in game and in the customer service departments.4 -

Thanks for the feedback here on the error message. We will be updating the error message in a future release. When we have an ETA for that, we'll be sure to update everyone.

✭As someone who plays both megaservers, this change is terrible. Please reconsider this.
At the very least give us a timer that tells us how much time is left until the cooldown is over.

I've logged into both megaservers regularly for 7 years and never needed anything like this, so why exactly do I need it now???? Why? Really... why? If the number of people who do switch is so small that they don't really matter for syncing the reset timers, why do they matter for a login wait out? ARGH! Grrrrrrrrr.PCNA/EU since 20159 -
code65536✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭@ZOS_Kevin For people with Steam accounts, this change has a more significant impact.
Why? Because when you launch the game via Steam, it logs you in immediately, into whatever server you were last on. That means if you logged off on NA the night before and want to log onto EU the next day, you need to start the game, which automatically logs you onto NA, then log off, then swap servers, wait 3 minutes, and then log onto EU.
Non-steam users have a chance to change the server before logging on. Steam users don't have that option and can only change servers after logging on and then logging off.
That's always been a nuisance about ESO via Steam, but now with this change, it's no longer just a minor nuisance for anyone who plays on both servers.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

Obs1dian✭✭✭@code65536 as a kludgy workaround (but maybe less annoying than the three minute wait) you can make a shortcut for the eso64.exe file (default folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client) and run that, switch megaserver, then close it before launching from the launcher.2
Thanks!
