19-Aug 1800GMT Server#1

Ok guys, with the success of a fortnight previous 'm trying to set up an early start to the night this Friday. Aimed mainly at Euro players that maybe have a hard time staying up later at night when the server gets really good and busy, as well as those in the US that want some daytime games / those on the East Coast that get friday afternoons off work!


Server 1 will be the place, and I'll be in there from around 1800GMT (so 7pm local UK time). Pretty sure that's 2pm for anyone on the East Coast of the US with daylight savings involved, but not 100% (I'm sure someone will confirm/clarify).


As ever with servers the busier we get the more people we will attract that will want to get in. I'm taking it powersmoker's appearance is a given Anyone else that is going to turn up let me and everyone else know that you are.

Re: 19-Aug 1800GMT Server#1

GMT was local time back before Easter. And it will be again in October. At the moment we're in BST (British Summer Time) for daylight savings, which is GMT+1.

I used GMT to avoid confusion - lol!

Re: 19-Aug 1800GMT Server#1

I believe the rest of Europe has summer time as well. So for instance right here in Holland it's actually GMT+2.
Point is, it's always 1 hour later here than in the UK. If you start at seven, we'll start at eight.

Ahh gotcha. Still confusing - don't know who has daylight and who not.
