In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, there are extensive maintenance works today, on 28th October.
There has been maintenance work going on in TESO since this morning. It is expected to last a very long time. Currently, it is estimated that it will last until 01:00 AM tonight. Only then can The Elder Scrolls Online be played again on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. The issues are with the data centers in Europe and North America and are thus cross-platform.
This maintenance is said to be “preventive,” it is stated that it must be carried out now to prevent problems in the future. It is about replacing “network components.” There will likely be no changes to the player experience of TESO players.
During maintenance, problems with the upgrade of the switches have been encountered, it is said.
The German community manager Kai Schober compares the maintenance to an “oil change,” noting that the driver doesn’t feel anything, but it reduces the likelihood that the engine will be damaged in the future. Although nothing happens to the servers while the network is down, this doesn’t help players either.
The maintenance is now being carried out, so that everything goes smoothly later in Orsinium.
