Remember that the EU plays at a different time than the US.
While the US plays at 0:00 GMT, the EU plays at 20:00 GMT. That should put you playing at 23:00 your time, which is not nearly as late for you as if you had to play when the US does.
***EDIT***
I wrote this thread just for the US because I am not familiar with time zones in the EU, and most of the US is not familiar with dealing with times based on GMT. |

When corporations go to war, soldiers of fortune profit or perish. Good hunting, merc!
This leads me to believe that US corp battles will begin tomorrow, Friday August 31st.

Where is this post by CCP Foxcalibur?
I looked him up using search and he doesn't exist on these forums. This post is the very first one to even include his name.
And I just saw that post by CCP Frame. That's good to know. Take advantage of it everybody.

It seems like someone at CCP indeed doesn't understand time zones after all.
It's now 10 minutes after 0:00 GMT on August 31st and there is no sign there will be any Corporation Battles today.
***EDIT***
For the US, I mean. |

I'm not seeing them either (in Aus). My feedback on the corp battle system so far:
Execution stopped at line 0. Failure to exist error. |

VERY true, Shisno. Even their email said 8:00pm North America. NORTH AMERICA, LMAO! Like we only have 1 time zone in USA and Canada. LOL USA alone being about 3500 miles wide.
Over in Europe, they can drive through several countries in a couple hours.
This isn't the first time thing they have totally ****** up. If they can't get time zones and days right, how will they ever be able to finish programing a game like Dust without tons of bugs?????
I'm just sayin'...

Hey, man, WE US people can figure it out. Seems like CCP, and maybe you Euros, can't even get it straight when 00:00 on Friday server time is, because that has now past.
(Grit, the way to keep people from being rude to you is to not be rude to them.)

Your friend is 100% correct.
Maximus Stryker wrote:Regardless, I am operating under the assumption that corp battles will take place for me as follows:
(East Coast USA time | EST | New York City | GMT -4)
Friday Aug 31st @ 8pm
Saturday Sept 1st @ 8pm
Sunday Sept 2nd @ 8pm
If that's true, then CCP totally ****** up their announcement and cannot tell what their own server time is.

Ikr, If this is right then we were given the day in US time and the hour in GMT. CCP, the following round of applause is for you.

For the continental USA there are only 4 time zones.
Eastern (CCP server time -4 hours in the summer or -5 hours in the winter.)
Central (CCP server time -5 hours in the summer or -6 hours in the winter.)
Mountain (CCP server time -6 hours in the summer or -7 hours in the winter.)
Pacific (CCP server time -7 hours in the summer or -8 hours in the winter.)
In the summer, when Daylight Savings Time is used, the USA time zones are called, for instance,
Eastern = EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)
and in the winter they are called, for instance,
Eastern = EST (Eastern Standard Time)
If you are an American and you don't know all the continental USA time zones, then I also hope you haven't finished fourth grade yet.
CCP does not change their server time for Daylight Savings. So, in the summer EVE server downtime is at 7:00am EDT, and in the Winter the server downtime is at 6:00am EST. I guess there is no Daylight Savings time in space, or else there are no time zones. `Aye?
And WTF do they do in binary star systems, which are more prevalent in the real universe than systems with one star (our Sun), like ours.???

That means in the USA, the East Coast downtime is presently 7:00am, or as I said, 11:00 CCP Server Time (GMT) minus 4 hours.
This isn't rocket science.

That's correct.
However the United States isn't just the Continental United States. It also includes:
Hawaii: Hawaii Standard Time, because like I said before, Hawaii doesn't like daylight. Everybody who lives there must be vampires.
The Aleutian Islands: Hawaii-Aleutian Daylight Time, because the people who live there think that they can trick tourists into thinking they are really in Hawaii.
Alaska: Alaska Daylight Time. No joke.
And since Arizona observes Mountain Standard Time all year round it must be made note of as well. |

But us mainlanders only count them when we need their assets or want to go on vacations.
And many of us would like to not count Arizona at all.
