    I'm questioning the UTC-8  is this Pacific or Alaskan time? on that map linked it's for alaskan time which is 4 hours behind Eastern.
    UTC-8 is PDT, or in other words, its 8 pm Cali time.
  • Hmm I think it's PST is UTC-8 and PDT is UTC-7  .  I think that is where my confusion is.

    Woot! I have learned something! Thank you, @Ninja Shadow!

    Edit: It worked! I has a new toy!
  • Not sure if by new toy, @Isende means what she learned or if she means me because she can do @Ninja Shadow now

    Either way is OK with me
  • I've notice this post for a while, yet hesitant to reply but ... well ...

    Wouldn't this ruin a first-time player experience ?
    ~~~~ They just download the game, finally able to log in on a " not-too-populated " server and come to find out mostly everyone is in a Guild ? ~~~~

    Plus, from personal experience, some guilds are a complete " 180 " after joining. 
    ( I.e. they promise so many things, but are completely the opposite after you've spent some time in the Guild in-game )

    On the Bright side ... Now I've realized that most Guilds are more on a Broad-Scale and not just solely to One-MMO - some branch out to other MMOs and become close-friends. But i personally figured that it'll be better establishing Guilds once in the game & then building " Allied-Guilds " as time Progresses. 
    ( maybe a more immersive experience ? )

     But that's just me.

    because honestly ... I'm a little excited about this  too :3 
  • @Eragale
    Your concern is a valid one,
    however, it is importnat to understand that this game isnt heavily PvP orianted, so most players wont even feel the guilds presence, until they actually go deeper into the game, and by that point you'll already be in a guild, because of its vast content.

    In the end of the day, guilds are just a network of people who are working together for the same cause.  I personally think that its great to see many people coming together to fight for the same cause, and while fraud leaders will exist, I'd like to believe that a few spoiled apples wont spoil the bunch.

    It is with events like those, that I hope to restore hope in people and connect them with the community of friends and perhaps even a new family.
    I may be naive, but thats just how I look at it ^^
  • UPDATE:
    Due to a combination of techincal issues and high demand, NA stream time has been changed from 20:00 PT, to 20:00 EST (17:00 PT).
    the current updated times are:
    17:00 PT (Pacific Time), 20:00 EST (Eastern Time) for NA
    20:00 (UTC+1) for EU
    20:00 (UTC+10) for OCE/SEA
    Thank you for understanding.

    What a beautiful way to see what a MMO may (and should) represent. I totally agree with that... so maybe we can be naive together on this.
    :smile:
  • @Rhoqaro
    @Needletail

    Let's see who can be placed or find their families ^_^ 
  • what a good idea :D! Happy to see the community starting events so soon. Since i have no guild and i want to start with one in the alpha 1 i will be happy seeing this and i hope i will found my guild <3
  • Really nice idea with the guild stream :smiley:. It is a important factor of the game so it should get the focus like it do now ;)
  • Not sure if by new toy, @Isende means what she learned or if she means me because she can do @Ninja Shadow now

    Either way is OK with me
    Well, now that you mention it ... oh, wait. I think @Possum would be ok with my knowledge being my new toy; I don't think he'd want me replacing him with another breathing toy.

    Limitations. Sheesh!

    Can't, by any means, speak for others, but for me? Simple me, myself & I? I'm looking forward to fleshing out our current group of friends, who have gamed together and separately for years, so that we enter Ashes at launch with a common purpose, a common goal, a common thing or things we're all actively working together toward. Additionally, I think that now is a fine time, as the game shapes up, to begin looking toward alliances. For instance, our guild will likely still be smallish, and we're happy to look to other smallish guilds who'll probably be on the same server to figure out how we can build a community.

    You're right, sometimes, especially (I believe) with progression guilds, the focus of the guilds changes, and it's not always a pretty change. However, as was established on another thread, there are a great many of us at the 35+ age bracket. What's that mean? Means, usually, that our focus is a bit different; we're more interested, largely, in building relationships than we are in building names. If that makes any sense. Or, perhaps, at least in my case; I wish to build my name, in game, but I wish to do it as a strong supporter of a thriving community.

    And that's another difference with Ashes, I believe. So many of us truly want this community we see as a possibility :smiley: 

    @Needletail
    I love how you worded what you wrote, "It is with events like those, that I hope to restore hope in people and connect them with the community of friends and perhaps even a new family.
    I may be naive, but thats just how I look at it ^^"

    I think you're not naive, unless all the rest of us are, as well. And thank you very much for the update on the time of the Forum.
  • This sounds great!
  • @Needletail though I may not be able to help much because most of my time will be spent on my guild, you have my support in helping people find hope and a home ;)

    @Isende well that's fine with me just looking forward to seeing you guys in game  B)
