July Developer Event

[JinxDevona]

Awe damn, I'll be at work. What if we make it part way through, like 1 1/2 hours in? Can we still go for the prize?

You'll have to be there at the end to get a prize. This is the first time we're doing this, so we're trying to leave a large margin for error, but if everyone arrives pretty quick and we get you all organized in the viewing stands and the board set up, it may well take less time. And then the game may take over an hour or it may take 10 minutes. I'd say, take the chance and be there.

Thanks for the info. I'll state now I'm going for JC, nothing personal, just really need a backpack. I get off at 5 EDT so I will jump on as soon as I get home and hope I don't miss it.

Wise choice. All my time on the test server is actually being spent practicing checkers to take down Meow!

Vigilance has made an awesome poster for our event.

Event Begins Saturday, July 19th, 20:00 UTC (4 PM EDT / 1PM PDT for US players, 9:00 PM Central Europe, Midnight Moscow).

I think you have your timezones a bit mixed up. 20:00 UTC does indeed match 16:00 EDT and 13:00 PDT, but Central Europe uses CEST during summer, wherein that becomes 22:00.

Okay, we want this to take place near server peak so most of you can be there. With setup and all, we expect the event to last 2-3 hours so:

Sad I can't be there It'll be a deep night here.

So 2200 GMT+2 ? CEST +0200 UTC

With all due respect - the lag in the game itself and providence in particular has greatly increased since your updates caused players to come back.

Do you have a plan in place to handle the extra load in providence during this event?

I predict at least one server crash. Maybe this is intended to test the limits of your server.
