What times of day suits you best? (considering time from inviting starts 'till raid is done is between 3~4 hours).

(you can select several options)

Well, I am in timezone which is 2 hours ahead of UK (1 hour ahead of CET), so the best times for raids to start for me are 19:00 and 20:00 by server time. Any time sooner and I may not be at home yet from work (during business days), any time later means that the raids will end at too late times for me (gotta get up early to go to work), if their length is over 3 hours (like 4-5). On weekends, though, doesn't matter (with the exception being the sunday, of course, because monday is a working day). On weekends can start significally earlier.

Any chance for raids starting at 21-22 over the summer? A lot of us students will be on vacation with nothing better to do ;)

Us 'working people' don't have the whole summer to 'lazy off' :D Those starting times will severily cut into sleeping time and, real life > games, which means that the 'workers' would log off earlier or not even participate if the raids start too late. Bosses don't care about excuses "but I was raiding Molten Core until very late and that's why I slept in 2 hours"...

Ofcourse it kinda depends on the run, but during the weekdays I try to get in bed at 00:00 (server time). So long runs must really start for me at 7 and shorter runs at 8, if I am to join them.

And indeed RL work > Games

mostly 20:00 is the best time for me but if we are going to do a full strat run thursday from 18:00 is the best time. :)

As long as the raids ends at around midnight (add or give an hour) then im ok, i cant seldomly play long after 1am since i still live at my parents place for a while.. can't go to greece yet, something came in between, but for now i have to live with the fact that my parents are going to bed at around 2300-2400

well there is no point in me actually specifying a set time for each weekday which suits me best since some weeks i get home at around 8pm and have 2-3 hours to play, on the next week i could well be working nights during that time - impossible to play - or could be on a rest day in which case anytime suits me, that would not be too much of a problem to me if there was oppurtunitys to actually do something in the time im online, but with dkp running everyday its just not happening.

just as an example i have managed to attend 1 dkp raid in the past 10 days, i could well have joined last fridays event too , but i was too pissed off with missing so many during the week by 30mins to an hour that i simply can no longer be bothered,

logging in every night to find the whole guild busy with 3-4 raids leaves me with tarren mill or riding round mining woohoo,

no-one is prepared too raid anywhere before dkp since it may clash with the start time, most people wont raid afterwards since they go to sleep, so if you miss that precious start time or are unable to promise to stay the duration ( my 2 biggest problems) there is simply nothing on offer within the guild to do,

have fun enjoy my whiney thread.
