Each character can only get the special bonus once per week. So if you run the WST on Tuesday, get your bonus, then decide you want to run the same Task Force later in the week, you will get the regular rewards.
However, running the WST more than once during a week earns you credit for in-game badges.
As far as when folks run the WST, I have no idea when "peak" hours are for Union.
For Virtue (and I'd guess Freedom, the two most populated US servers), after 5:00 pm ET is usually a safe bet for people to be around.
Most (if not all servers) have global chat channels run by players to help forum teams. If you ask around, I'm sure someone can point you to the one(s) for Union.

Also, you get double the merits for the first completion of a WST per character.
On many servers, they run all the time, pretty much, just like any other TF, except that because of the extra rewards, they'll be easier to find or recruit for than normal.
More info in the usual place.

Check the global channels on Union and you can likely find where and when people are organizing WST runs.
If you don't know the main global channels for Union you may want to check the Union forums.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Hey, thanks. I am on the Union Chat channel. Unfortunately everyone is ready for bed when i get home from work since most are in the UK on that server. I mean, that place is a literal ghost town. |

It really is pretty slow by the prime time for the US. That said, I've had a lot of fun there, even late, but, if you are a US evening player, you might not be best served on Union. As someone who plays on Union late, I'd hate to see ya go, but if you'd rather stay just on one server, and US evenings are you major play time, it would be a bit self serving to tell ya to stay.
I just noticed the WST for June 12 is Penelope Yin in Independence Port.
I'm thinking Issue 23 just got a very narrow bracket for its release date.
Nice catch! I'd say you've got to be pretty m ch spot on, barring some unforeseen technical issue cropping up, which seems unlikely. Still within the realm of possibility, but I think you've called it.
Also, that answers one question I had... Now I wonder who'll be giving out the STF.

Well I did create a new toon on Freedom last night. Needless to say I was very busy until about 3am. LOTS of teams forming, it was great.|

I didn't realize I could have 12 toons per server. I think I'll keep the toons on Union for the weekend, and build new ones on Freedom for during the week.
Thanks again for the info

Yes, Freedom and Virtue will have the most traffic if that's the biggest priority, but most all of the non European servers have good traffic to about 10 PM US Pacific time, from what Ive seen. That said, after the big 2, different servers have different baselines as far as player base. Justice, Champions, and Triumph seem to be on the busier end, from what I've seen, without having the things that bug some people about Freedom and Virtue.
But, yes, you get boatloads of slots if you're a VIP, and can make alts on every server, so check out several and go with the ones with the community and activity level and cycle that work best for you.
Also if you end up with a fav alt on a serer that isn't you fav, and don't want to relevel, VIPs also get a free server transfer (or maybe more than one, I can't recall) every month. So you can always move one later.

We were told Celestial Armor would depart with Issue 23.
We were also told Celestial Armor would go away on June 5.
