Dear ESO Team,

First off, I want to acknowledge the incredible work you all do to keep Tamriel running. As a certified electrician, I understand that maintaining server uptime is no easy feat, especially when the power decides to go on its own adventure. That said, I’d like to offer a lighthearted, practical (and somewhat satirical) suggestion to help tackle these outages.

The solution? Bring in the fuel-powered mini generators—the kind often used to power smallworkshops. Here’s how it could work:

Deploy the Workshop-Tech Backup Plan
With a fleet of reliable mini generators (which, as an electrician, I can confirm are surprisingly resilient), you’d have an emergency power supply robust enough to handle critical server operations. From cooling systems to network gear, these little marvels are more than capable of stepping up when the main grid lets you down.

Server Room Chic: Rustic Edition
Why stop at functionality? Enclose the generators in Skyrim-inspired workshops for maximum immersion. Picture the server racks surrounded by timber walls, a hay bale or two, and maybe even a decorative goat. If nothing else, it’d make for the most charming data center in the industry.

Expertly Wired, Naturally
Naturally, you’ll want the generators wired into an automatic transfer switch for seamless failover. That way, when the local power grid decides to FUS RO DAH itself offline, your servers keep humming like the bards at the Winking Skeever.

The PR Bonus
Let’s be honest, the tagline writes itself: “ESO: Now Powered by mini-Generator Energy and Rustic Reliability for the Modern Adventurer.” It’d be the perfect mix of humor and ingenuity, and I’m sure the community would appreciate the nod to the series’ roots.


Until then, I’ll be waiting patiently to log back into Tamriel, ready to slay dragons, close portals, and possibly repair a circuit or two if needed.

Yours in solidarity, silliness, and professionalism,

Waseem
