Lost Event, Middle of the Day?
It will probably be similar to when the Mad King busted out of the statue in Lion’s Arch. One-time cinimatic to start the three-day long event. It is an odd time though. At least the finale is on a Sunday

oh silly arena net, how could they make an event that isn’t at a suitable time for the only country in the world?
you are kidding right?
Given that most of their customers are EU, it’s nice to have a primetime for them event this go-round.
They really should make these once in a lifetime events happen twice in a lifetime. Once on the european server and once on the north america server. Delay the once in a lifetime event to a more suitable time like 7:00 even if the you have already been participating in the event activities.
That said the like in a lifetime event will be youtuble and probably only an unimpressive 10 second cut scene of giant crab exiting ocean.
FYI time was pick to suit europeans gamers, the game must have sold better there than in USA. When though fewer server.
School should be over by 3 PM, run home quick.
You think that’s bad? What about us Asian/Oceanic players where the one-time event finale falls on Monday morning, when most of are either still in bed (get up at 4am on a Monday morning??) or just heading out to school/work? It’s likely that the kick-off will be nothing more than a cutscene, but the finale sounds like it’s something extra-special, as evidenced by the “multiple hour event” words used in the description.
There’s a simple solution… Put a NPC in the game, that explains what has happened. The players that are too late for the original “event”, can easily watch the video and then participate.
Or just start the video when a player logs into LA for the first time…
