Why do you say that?  They all just can't be EST servers.

doesn't matter where the servers are based. which ones have the proper ingame time according to the timezone i live in and also have ppl that are on the same hour as me so pvp/pve raiding isn't retarded early/late.

virginia? who cares, wasn't the question. servers should have preset timezones regardless of their actual location. technology is getting good enuff where ping isn't such an issue. plus we aren't playing a FPS.

Ok, none of them have official time zone makrs, and since the day cycles far faster than an actual day the servers don't sync up to actual time zones.

 

So again, officially they are all EAST COAST, unless a large group of players want to assign servers different UNOFFICIAL time zones

thats pretty lame then.

the day/night cycle doesn't mean a thing either. doesn't WaR have a normal 24hour clock ingame so u can keep tabs on your real life and set up dates and times for grouping/events that other ppl can sync to?

it'll be retarded if there aren't servers with timezone tags so ppl in their respective timezone can all join the same server and not have any headaches with being 2-3hours ahead or behind every1 else.

day/night cycles? who cares. location of the servers? who cares. again, its a question on server TIMEZONES. the damn title of the thread.

No they are not tagged.

Also, MOST people, these including other entities that don't revolve around you, consider the physical location of the servers important to them for connection issues, not everyone is running fiver optic internet and be running poor ping DSL or something similiar. Meaning regardless of where the server is their ping may be average at best. So they need to make sure the location of the server negatively impacts their ping the least amount possible. So the physical location or TIMEZONE of the servers location is extremely important.

This is why when this question is asked most people think location.

well it sucks for both of us since all the servers are located in one area and u want speed and i want to simply be on the same time as every1 else i'm playing with. unless you live near wherever the servers are. then u have awesome ping

can't believe they aren't timezone tagging the servers atleast. all funcom -er mythic (sorry bad habit) has to do is simply add a line of text under the server name.

its superficial, i know. but whatever, every little thing adds up.
