Adida confirmed the timezones in this thread in Stratics:

-------------------
o Europa: Tuesday, Feb. 19th, 1:30PM EST (7:30pm local Western European Time zone)
o Drachenfels: Wednesday, Feb. 20th, 1:30PM (7:30pm local Western European Time zone)

--------------------


7:30PM WET (GMT) = 2:30PM EST

1:30PM EST should be 6:30PM WET (GMT) or 7:30PM CET so unless you've confused WET with CET, you're 1 hour off.

So, when is it again?


-----------------------------



It is 1:30pm EST

*kicks the computer for telling me the wrong timezone*

Yew Waterfalls

Yew Waterfalls

• Southeast of Justice Island on the Trammel facet, next to the waterfalls, a romantic garden has been carefully cultivated for the enjoyment of young couples and lonely poets alike.
• A new bridge spans the falls, giving unprecedented views of the shimmering cascades of water
• The area is now a guard zone to protect the safety of picnickers.

Lake Austin: Wednesday, Feb. 20th, 5PM PST
Pacific: Thursday, Feb. 21st, 4PM PST

Heh I'm gonna miss all three scheduled events so far.

I got a bit confused with the timezones - For the event on Drachenfels it's gonna be 7:30pm Western European Time (London) and thus 8:30pm Central European Time (Berlin), right?!

Oh and concerning the items to collect - can anybody give me an idea what to expect (and no, I don't wanna cheat like some peeps obviously did on europa). I just want to know kind of character would be best suited to attend (warrior, mage, crafter or RP-char).

You'll want a character who can recall (or sacred journey) to a major city for items, and 1000 gp should cover the items you'll need to purchase. Other than that, a marked rune for the return with the items would be very handy, since otherwise you have the run from Yew moongate which is what was done on Atlantic last evening. Good luck!

Ok, now I am really really pissed!

I checked back here to clarify the right time, I even made the effort to research on my own that those timetables are correct, I got quite worked up with anticipation of an actual factual official event with a real dev going on on Drachenfels. I cancelled a night out with friends, I put off my girlfriend, carefully chose a char and was there 10 minutes before 7:30pm WET.

And guess what! Everything was over! Me and a couple of other people stood around and needed a few moments to realize it was really over and we missed it! The box was full, lots of items and purple bags lying around... The whole thing went down at 7:30pm - but 7:30 CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME!!! I really have to bite my tongue now, not to spite out some harsh comments about americans and their inability to take an interest in everything concerning the rest of the world. But is it asked to much to check some timetables and make sure you put out the right information???

I appreciate the effort the live team is taking, but this is too much! Every amateur could have done better! And I bet they complained about the low number of attendants. Well, those were the dorks who mixed it up too! Well met!

I have to stop now, before I get unfair, but I'm steaming still!
