Q:

Can someone give me the exact range of times each time slot covers? E.g. NA covers 0-6 GMT (just an example, not meant to be correct). I’ve always generally understood but would like to finally know the exact specifics of when one ends and the other begins.

A:

Going off server time here (PST, sorry)

I generally, and my server generally views it as following.

Ocx(Oceanics): 12/1 AM-5 am PST
SEA (South East Asia): 5am-8 or 9 am PST
EU (European): 10am-2pm PST
NA (North American): 3pm-10pm PST

There a few in between hours where only certain countries/guilds can run in due to geography. Russian guilds for example cover one of those in between hours or so, so are highly sought after.

Oceanic really kicks off at around 3am server time, since 12-1am server time is when peeps are just getting home from work. SEA goes onto around 9-10am server time

It all depends on what part of oceanic you are. NZ prime starts about 11pm, whereas WA isnt till 3 or 4 am

That’s assuming prime starts at 6pm local. That’s usually not the case. At least in BG, we tend to start at around 8pm local. I.E. in AEDT, we’d start forming up at around 2am server time and get going at 3am.

Really depends on guild to guild TS start early but a oceanic guild like ETA start later

OP is looking for a generalized start time, so 12-1am for Ocx would be best as NZ is the earlier starter it doesnt pull as much weight. Ill edit my post so the Answered post is up to date with how people feel on the timezones.

Mine are really rough estimates though so if people do want to come in and refine more feel free to.

SEA prime is around 7pm-12am local time ( GMT +7 / +8 / +9).

Convert it to your own local time.

Prime time is generally agreed to be 5-10pm in that zone. 6-9 pm is the busiest part as some guilds get on later and leave earlier.

It’ll get really interesting once the Asian servers go online. Already Russian guilds are sought after since they play in a dead zone between late SEA and early EU.
