Will night play be supported?

I was wondering if anyone knew if they were planning to support those of us that play mostly at night. The mmo population is getting older and there are a number of us who work second shift. With how things are being scheduled on servers i was wondering if there would be a server that may cater to that time frame? One where the second and third shift communities could congregate.

    I know that node sieges will take place during primetime for a specific server. This is generally to prevent a group showing up at 4am and storming it while most folks sleep. If enough "late night" guilds band together and roll on the same server, I would bet dollars to donuts that you all could shift that back several hours.

    You may well find that a server from a different region may suit you better than a more local server.

    Assuming you are NA, you may well find that an Oceania server suits you quite well.

    Yes it will suite you quite well, if you ignore the 1000 ping that is.

    I had seen that. Maybe they'll have supported prime times by each of the servers. I feel like there would be enough of a night crew to warrant it.

    I.e
    Server x "3pm- 10pm"

    And the one or few night friendly servers would be

    Server x "3am-10am"

    That way those on that shift could experience the world like any other while maintaining a healthy community.
