No France and Germany are CET I think which is UK + 1 or Eastern +6

All these time zone confuse and scare me....

But basically we just have to move things up by +6 hours so our EU friends can do these with us.

That's going to be a problem.

Most of the Stoned Templars are west coasters (myself and one or two others being the exception), so 10 P.M. ET is already early for them as it is only 7 P.M. PT. Moving Hamidon raids to 1 P.M. their time... Well, I just don't see it happening. And 4 P.M. ET on a Saturday is problematic for me as well.

Not to preclude anyone else from doing it, but I don't see it happening with the current crew. Sorry.

So then 9am-3pm ET = 3-9pm for EU... I would be able to lead a raid on the weekends that early for the EU players.

What about the idea of doing a monthly EU raid earlier in the day?

Most of Jagged Legion is east coasters and central timers. If we work at it we could schedule something and have your SG and mine fill in spots as needed for the leadership. Also it would be a great opportunity to help train some new players as well.

Well, truth be told.. its not just us. Members from Jagged Legion and Keltials SG have been On the raid crew and have been super clutch.

See, I think this is a good idea.

Problem I see with regularly scheduled 1s is this (to address Matts post)

I dont know what the EU's population is like on THIS server. Correct me if im wrong but arent there currently EU servers? If so, I would think a lot are doing what the American server population does... and thats play on Exalted hit n miss. Difference being there are a lot more of us then there are of them.

I dont wish for another situation like last Fridays FAILED attempt at the raid... after 3+ hours. All that accomplishes is people seeing the wrong way of raiding and getting frustrated and not wanting to participate it them at all. We saw this exact thing happen last Saturday during the scheduled raid. I cannot tell you the amount of tells from people telling me they almost didnt come because of Friday nights attempt. There are still LOADS of people that arent familiar with the Hami raids and id really hate for more people to get a bad taste..(it was the MAIN reason the zone took so long to fill last Saturday) and not want to raid anymore.

Tonights Jello came with an extra treat. Zwillinger and the Dev team were participating in the Extra-Life marathon to raise money for the Childrens Miracle Network. Happened we were starting a Hami raid and Z was kind enough to grace us with his presence and some gold titles
As always, a huge thank you to Cherry for leading and to the team leads.
Cheers all

yes it was a fun event, I still think now that ED is in place they should restore the Hami's to the original values,now with sets and IOs they are really underpowered.
