UK (EU), server opening times?

[Dr D Wayne Love]

Servers will unlock on April 2nd 12:01am ET. For those of you in the UK that is 8:01am London time.

So the servers won't be open early for reviewers?

Sledge, Europe converts to summer time this week end. so, on launch day The UK will be on BST (British Summer Time and will be 5 hours ahead of US EDT, hence that's 5:01AM in the UK.

I think midnight EST all servers

I don't think so

[Kris]

Patch notes said 17:00 CET (5pm) for a brief moment.

[Strontium Dog]

I'm pretty sure that's incorrect.

EDT is UTC-4.
BST is UTC+1.

With the UK switching to Daylight Saving Time this weekend the difference will be 5 hours, not 8.

Yeah its never 8

mmo servers are never opened early for reviewers, and legit reviewers dont post reviews of mmo's on day one.

[Valethar]

True. I think America changes their clocks a week or so after us.

We changed our earlier this month, on the 10th.

[Kris]

So can we get a confirmed time ?
Patcher said 5pm CET, now it says 8am CET, and Sledge said 5am UK time (6am CET). Confusing.

The UK is five hours ahead of New York most of the year and most of the rest of Western Europe including France is six hours. There is always confusion at this time of year as the US put their clocks forward two weeks before we do in Europe.

However, we change our clocks this weekend so by Tues it will be back to five hours difference. 00.01 hours in Eastern USA will be 5 am in the UK, Ireland and Portugal and 6 am in the rest of mainland Western Europe.

edit: Apparently the Eastern Time was a typo and it should have read Pacific Time. Well that means Eight hours difference so 8am in the UK, Ireland and Portugal and 9am in the rest of mainland Western Europe.
