Worst possible launch time for EU PvP players.

Post#1 » Sun Jun 28, 2026 2:48 am

The pvp server's launch time (10 PM UTC) falls between midnight and 1 AM European time.

This is the worst possible launch time for EU players because prime time won't arrive until 14–15 hours later; by then, many NA players will have leveled their characters to the 20–30 range and started camping low-level zones to gank.

I suggest moving the launch time a few hours earlier to ensure a fairer starting environment.

I don't care either way, will play a few hours no matter what time it is, but we don't really need to worry about them getting ahead, US will be asleep when EU comes online in morning so will have time to catch up before they get back on US evening. They'll only get 7 hours before their midnight.

+1

For example, 7-8 PM UTC would be much better. By that time, people in Western Europe would definitely be back from work and ready to play, while it still wouldn't be past midnight in Eastern Europe or the western part of Russia. That would mean more players online, more fun, more PVP HYPE

I don't know what affects the exact launch time, but if you can move it several hours earlier, that would be way better for the majority of EU players

Launching at 10 PM UTC might seriously hurt the first impression of the server. Most players are from the EU region, so for many it will be quite late. The first day of launch is very important, but a lot of people simply won’t be able to play properly at that time. Also, issues always appear on launch — it won’t be convenient for the team to fix them in the middle of the night, and players won’t wait until morning and will just leave.
