Maintenance for the week of March 25:
• [COMPLETE] Xbox: NA and EU megaservers for patch maintenance – March 26, 6:00AM EDT (10:00 UTC) - 12:00PM EDT (16:00 UTC)
• [COMPLETE] PlayStation®: NA and EU megaservers for patch maintenance – March 26, 6:00AM EDT (10:00 UTC) - 12:00PM EDT (16:00 UTC)
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – March 28, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 12:00PM EDT (16:00 UTC)

Why is maintenance always during the day?

For what reason does maintenance always happen during the day? Why isn’t maintenance performed during unsociable hours. For example between 1am and 9am.

This would make far more sense. I’ve complained about this before.

Furthermore why has PlayStations finished and Xbox still continues?

    Im with you on this Xbox EU should have maintenance overnight and US server should mirror when its overnight for them.

    They shouldnt do them as one but my guess they can seperate them ? Who knows , if thats the case swap it up so its fair

    They used to do them separately, by geography, but ran into troubles. I surmise that the platform servers are not entirely independent across geographies. This is likely why there needs to be a 3 minute cooldown when jumping across geographies, too.

    I feel like it is a pretty weak excuse, with 22 million players, 200 thousand+ daily players.

    Many of which are paying for ESO+ seeing as the game is inventory manager simulator 2003 without it.

    They can afford to fix these complications and not interrupt our gaming time.

    I know I may sound like an addict but I have not got much time today to play and would like to get an hour in before my evening of real life.

    Thank you for the responses it helps to know my pains are shared!

    [snip]

    You are demanding that employees of a company work unreasonable hours to provide maintenance updates to a game just so you aren't inconvenienced a few times a month.

    It's a video game, and these guys are employees who should expect to work reasonable hours to provide you entertainment. Not be forced to do unnecessary overnight shifts out of pure entitlement. This isn't a necessary service. They aren't providing electricity or water or heat. It's a video game.

    We are lucky enough they start maintenance as early as 4am and not just dead center mid day. They already come in early to get this started before most people in their time zone are even awake.

    How is it entitlement and forcing workers to work unsociable hours?

    People have jobs all over the world that work through the night.

    Don’t be such radical leftists and get what you pay for.

    It’s a game, what other game do you know that has constant maintenance updates?

    Also it is a paid for service. How often is your streaming service down? Phone service? Internet? Practically never

    You should try it from east coast Oz. Maintenance during prime time evenings every 2nd week.

    This used to really annoy me too, but I play other games instead on maintenance days. I never thought I would be so relaxed about it, but I know where you are coming from and totally agree.
