A little pet peeve here from me. Please note the text highlighted in bold.

Regular Maintenance Days & Times

Starting next week Thursday, we have updated the maintenance times for the North American megaserver of The Elder Scrolls Online.
This will allow our fans in the East Asia and Oceania to enjoy their Friday nights in ESO. The European maintenance windows remain unchanged. We have edited the original post to reflect these times.

The updated maintenance times are:

North American Megaserver
Mondays at 8:00am EDT (12pm GMT)
Thursdays at 8:00am EDT (12pm GMT)

European Megaserver
Tuesdays at 6:00am CEST (5:00am BST)
Fridays at 6:00am CEST (5:00am BST)

Horaires des maintenances planifiées

À compter d’aujourd’hui de nouveaux horaires seront appliqués pour les maintenances du mégaserveur européen. Ces changements ne concernent que la plateforme de jeu européenne et sont mis en place afin de minimiser l’impact qu’une telle opération pourrait avoir sur vos temps de jeu.

Mégaserveur européen
Mardi à 4h00 CEST (heure de Paris)
Vendredi à 4h00 CEST (heure de Paris)

Le post originel a été édité en conséquence, les différents articles de notre page Support le seront également.

Yes this is trivial, and there are more important things to fix. But I noticed this yesterday and it still isn't updated. It's just meant as a little heads up to @ZOS_KaiSchober and @ZOS_MichaelServotte.

Er, because the Brits invented the time standard and it's the one that all other time zones work off of ? Heck, even we get confused about all that 'one hour forward, one hour backwards' malarkey.

To be honest, I don't really care what timezone they use (although I am in favour of CEST or just plain UTC), as long as the times are being used consequent.

In case people do not notice, the first (English) threads mentions 06:00 while the second (French) thread mentions 04:00 in the same timezone.

Actually i noticed it, that's the reason i said they have no idea where Europe is located. In the same post they were giving 2 different times for same maintenance. Since French notes were top of English notes i first read it and thought, at last they will make the maintenance better time (for majority, people have works and schools) instead 7-8 AM in the morning for many countries.

I noticed that too and expected them to update the English details but it's still not been done currently. Small things like this don't help clarity and it's a good change which they should be bringing to players attention!

it's almost as annoying that they still mix up GMT BST, CEST over the different places

and the need for some reason to add heure de Paris after CEST in the French description
