[Question] Different time launch depending on time zone?

[Squirrelbanes]

Yeah it works for me being 25th at noon.

But by that standard my noon is different than yours....meaning you get to it first? or Im delusional?

Apparently so, yh. Ur 11 hrs later. Others are ahead of me.


----For the record, vpns and proxies don't change the time.......in case anyone was curious

Thats wierd, because that means some people get to "steal" names first. O.0 I really really hope this is a mistake.

Also: The game will go live for everybody at the same time. ^MK

They are checking the timer on the website, it's defaulting to everyone's zone.

....... Ah, okay. For me it's showing up as noon pacific, which given the BWEs that actually makes sense. As that's when all the others went live. I just might have to call in "sick" that day. Hmmm....

[Zilong]

HORRAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

I dont have facebook or twitter so its hard for me to even remember about that stuff...

Now I just have to pray it is not 12:01am PDT, because that would mean 4am for me lol.

[Squirrelbanes]

Ahhhhhhhh ok lol.

Glad that got sorted xD

Seems like 12 oclock in the day for the swedish folks
But I have a question, is the headstart exactly 3 days? Since I will buy game on launch, always special feeling going down to local game store and buy it on release day :P Perhaps I need to go and preorder it there though, might be a bunch of people who wants the game here =) Anyway, if it's exactly 3 days it should be that game opens up official same time, 3 days later after headstart?

They said theres a bug with the website makeing their countdown not factor in your local timezone. All other events have been based off Pacific time and its showing up as noon on the 25th in the pacific time zone.
judgeing by the timer that 3days is like the BWE 3 days. AKA it starts at noon Pacific time and ends up being 2.5 days total. On the other hand they may also open up the servers for everybody at noon on launch day makeing headstart a full 72 hours.

So does that mean servers will open up the same time BWE opened up ? I'm a bit confused

When I open up the countdown on their website it works out for 12:00pm GMT so that seems okay
