Interesting, so the servers are still up. What reason does Microsoft have for not revalidating this certificate? Would it be difficult to petition them to do it?

How is you private server idea going?
Why would Microsoft give keep the servers plugged in if they don't do anything?

Just because official support is gone doesn't mean you can't petition this. Hey if you start one I'd sign it and spread the word. I'd make a petition but I know nothing about servers, certificates, etc. so I'd basically be rambling about stuff I have no understanding of.

I'd definitely play multiplayer again if ESO was back up. Off servers just aren't the same.

Oh my god, was that AlienSexRanger? THE AlienSexRanger? He wasn't using caps or yelling garbage? It is a miracle. I would be all aboard the ESO train. Voobly isn't fun and the people aren't the same. I miss recruiting for my clan, DRP, rather than having to teach 5 noobs per lobby. I am all aboard this!

Voobly blows. Yes it's me, and I never yell garbage. I provide flawless arguments to educate my enemies when I'm particularly interested in a subject or just plain bored. I still don't see what's wrong with caps, I think they look pretty.

I don't think that after 4 months the community would return to ESO. Downloading the WIPROXY thing, it was easy to spread the word because it could spread by word of mouth on ESO.
At it's 'end' ESO had low player numbers, for me it was uncommon to see over 25 and it was certainly a different community with far fewer scenarios.

To be honest I mainly blame the "voobly scare" where players from voobly were constantly spamming on ESO that the server was going to be shut down in x period of time, usually in a month or so. They did this for like 2 years while telling people to come to voobly. Sadly most people I played with on ESO did...
Maybe I'm being optimistic but if people see ESO is back from the dead it might reinvigorate the community into coming back. It's worth trying for me since Age of Mythology is one of like four strategy games I actually like. Plus 99% of new games suck so bad I can't even have fun playing them.
It'd actually be more fun to run around on the net telling people to sign the petition for this plan than to play Bioshock, Farcry, StarCraft II, or Skyrim. Man those games suck.

He's not responding but I might just make the petition anyway. It'll have to wait until Tuesday probably because I have a paper to write. Wrote like 7 pages today and still have more to do.

I was so surprised to see recent posts on this forum! When ESO went down, I was sure the community went to Voobly. I tried voobly, but it never worked for me, so I just gave up trying. I have been playing this game until the very day the server went offline. I was never a fervently active player, but I always enjoyed logging in and playing with a few people for a few hours every so often.
It should go without saying, then, that I would be all supportive to go to a privately hosted server or to even run this Fiddler2 program. I honestly don't think it's "too much" to ask of player. If they really want to play this game online, with other players, they will do what has to be done.
I will certainly be checking back here frequently to see what is to come. I'm not sure where I could be much help, but I am more than happy to provide help wherever I can.
Thank you everyone here for keeping such a great community alive and strong for such a long time! you've revived my spirit for this game!

I went over a few threads and it appears it can take quite a while for them to respond via forum. What's the other way you contacted them, Email?
