I was wondering if NC West/L2 Community, could look at the server times again to see if we could talk/vote about revising the time of the server again.
The GMT - 2, zone is so early...and I know that the original GMT - 6, didn't work for everyone and it's how we got to where we are plus NC trying to accommodate the influx of people from Goddess release. But the servers are not at capacity anymore(Like when TW was still available if you disconnected you had a hard time getting back into Chronos), and the numbers that we do see a fair amount can be attributed to bots it feels as opposed to player base that came due to the influx.
Yes we have gotten some new blood since GOD but that is bound to happen. Just as much as the players we have lost due to the random things that have taken place that make people/community unhappy with the game.
Anyway I figured I would reach out to the community to ask a revised change to GMT - 4(a half way between the old and the new). The few things that this game still has to offer which make it enjoyable Oly/Sieges/CH's/etc are harder to participate in with the earlier start(for me anyway).
Thanks for the read, figured I would post as I've complained enough to my clannies/friends about it I just wanted to see how others view the "Improved" time zone.
but i've just gotten used to the time zones...
right now it's 3 hours ahead of where i used to live, and 3 hours ahead of what it was before then... so everything happens 6 hours early.
but... it would be easier EST folks to get into the game.
8pm is more doable than 6pm. but what about the poor euro folks?
anyway, it might be nice to have another vote, it's been years since the last one. a serious vote where only accounts created before 2014 can vote.
NCWest knows how many players has in total and from which country is each one (except for few playing with battleping/wtfast).
So if there is any will to readjust the time zones they should change the times zones accordingly to their playerbase and allow a one time free server transfer.
Alliances will break etc but in the end of the day new alliances will be made and people won't have to be online for sieges 4 hours before work etc.
Also they could change sieges from Sunday to Saturday (or Friday).

The player base had a choice when creating the accounts to begin with. The problem is that the choice was diluted by the influx of free accounts that were allowed to have votes.
If a played had to purchase their vote like before the outcome may have been entirely different. The reason for this post was to see if people had an opinion besides blaming each other for botting or program usage or other useless topics. As these topics have been here since the game started and will be created here when NCWest finally says that L2 will no longer be updated and fallowed by server shut downs.
The entire point of the this topic is to allow for more people to have access, instead of getting on siege field and going AFK or entering Oly and logging out to complete matches in time. If others found the time was restrictive and non beneficial like it was for myself when it was changed. But then those who have my opinion may have already quit or stop caring as they can see there is no voice to the community unless it is one of skepticism and allegations.
Then u would know the server is almsot dead in usa time and its more or less an euro server ( u can easily notice when check partymatch activity in euro time and usa time, and compare...).
So IF there should be a change coming, then ofc towards to gmt+0.

But you are assuming that these people are playing during that time because they are simply online not because they are forced to be on during a time that the server was forced to move into, cause and effect, they are reacting.
If people decide that yes the server needs to be doing things even earlier then at least make that opinion. But Kartias can be done whenever, you just find a clan doing what your doing, or randoms if need be. Then you also factor in the maximum amount of instances in use and the amount of people that need to get things done. But these are usefull anyway because there is no constraint on when you can do a Kartia throughout the day. The constraint is with the limited time frame in the subjects that are usually the most fun(in my opinion anyway). These would be Olympiad and Sieges(Back in the day Territory War).
Anything else can still be accomplished at whatever time you log in and decide to do something whatever time that is, and isn't useful for making an argument about the server time as the only thing that the server time does for these is affect reuse.
why not +10?
that way it would be equally uncomfortable for everyone.
i would be loving it myself.
everything would start at 2 am... it wouldn't interfere with any of my regular daily activities. and 12:30 pm server would reset. so am, pm... doesn't matter i could always get my daily stuff done also.
but that's a bit on the extreme side.
although i could certainly dig it.
