In the fantasy MMO The Elder Scrolls Online, there is good news for all players struggling with lags. Apparently, the migration of the megaserver to Frankfurt is progressing well.
But not an endless story?
It almost threatened to become an endless story. After all, the criticism has been a recurring theme throughout the history of TESO. Many players, when the announcement was made that there would be a European mega-server, firmly believed that it would also be located in Europe. However, it is still based in the USA, so that technicians can access it more easily if something goes wrong.
From the beginning, the European mega-server in “Ami-Land,” as many called it, was a point of criticism for the European player base. Time and again, Zenimax emphasized how important the server migration was to them, but the promise of “very soon” in April, shortly after launch, sounded just as soon as the one in May. By early June, it was stated by the head himself, the mega-server will come to Frankfurt this summer, and since then, nothing more has been heard about it. Until now.
In the official forum, the German community manager Kai Schober brings TESO players up to date:
The planned server migration to Frankfurt is progressing. The megaserver there is already running and is being tested.
Also, for the FPS problems that some players have been struggling with since the 1.2.3 patch, Schober brings good news. They should be resolved with a hotfix coming during the next server maintenance from Monday night to Tuesday.
Update 1.7.: According to statements from US players, the FPS problems were unfortunately not resolved with patch 1.2.4. They seem to be related to a change in a healing spell.
