4 to 5 days maintenance

This would cost them money and they don't seem to be the type to "throx it away" to please the community :/

Better off just not bringing the NA/JP servers down for 5 days then. No point in depriving them of the ability to play when they aren't benefiting from the maintenance in any way. EU players will benefit considerably so they shouldn't fuss about the maintenance anyways.

I don't know if there is a competition between world CL in achieving the content, like we saw in other game, i was talking about that kind of equality but if there isn't, well i agree with you, better not bringing the others servers down ^^

[Windklinge]

please look forward to : extended maintence by another 3 days so an entire week of eso cap is lost for you. oh and look forward to more technical issues and downtimes and crashes after that

/sarcasm

i hope this doesnt happen right after 3.1 hits since its around that timeframe sadly. would piss people off royally.

I think that prolonging our subscription by the amount of downtime is the most we might get, and frankly it's all that we should ask for.

Hopefully doesn't affect NA Players. I don't see them affecting JP Players either, with how high a pedastoole SE puts JP Players on.

But yea... I'd be a little annoyed if they took down NA servers for 5 days to increase QoL for EU servers, but as I don't understand how it works? I iamgine they'll only affect NA/JP if they are forced to.

NA will be brough down too for sure, not saying that for the full 5 days but don't be surprised if it takes atleast 3.
Do you realise they have to get rid of all the EU data? I don't think that something like this is possible without turning the servers down completely. There are so many items, so many data..

The majority of the downtime will be testing. Stability testing, integration testing, load balancing testing, etc.
I doubt the transfer of the data will take more than 2 days out of the 4-5 day maintenance.
So yeah, I wouldn't expect NA to be down longer than a day, but who knows...

What EU datas on NA servers? There is not even a connection with DF between EU servers and NA servers. They are just in the same location and that was it.

They will shut down the EU servers, don't allow server transfer to or from EU servers, copy all the datas, fly them over to EU, upload the datas into the new servers, check if everything is alright, turn on the new servers and build down the old servers, while NA servers are still running the whole time.

And of couse giving every player with an EU SE account 5 free days and a free Fantasia ^^ /jk

It all depends on the exact infrastructure, of course.

If the NA and EU servers are "that bunch over there" then yeah, NA will have to at the very least get turned off for a while.

If the NA servers are the bunch on the left, and the EU servers are the bunch on the right, NA shouldn't necessarily be affected.

To the Americans that seem upset they might lose a day or two in the game because Europe gets a quality of life upgrade, though? Suck it up. We've dealt with latency that made a lot of boss fights harder than they should be since 2.0 went live, it's time we got the EU servers located on the proper continent.
