In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, unexpected issues are occurring on August 28th.
Many players are unable to log in to The Elder Scrolls Online today, as the mega-servers are down on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Maintenance was conducted just this week.
The problem here likely doesn’t lie with TESO itself, but with the internet structure. There are overall internet difficulties on the East Coast of the USA, which also affects Zenimax, located on the East Coast, and users worldwide are feeling the impact.
.@terryq1967 This is related to a fairly widespread ISP issue. You can check on their status here: https://t.co/h7EnMRbmrF

Currently, they are working on the issues but cannot yet provide a time frame for when it will be resolved. They are merely posting an internet outage map to show that it is a current problem that isn’t entirely within their control. They also state: We are restarting the mega-servers one by one, which may take a few hours.
Zenimax asks players not to attempt to log in during the next few hours, as this apparently leads to further issues.
Update: The servers are back online.
