Separating the WvW Reset times for NA and EU.

#1 - April 22, 2013, 10:23 a.m.

Greetings WvW players!

We’ve been working hard at finding a solution to the problem of setting up separate reset times for the European and North American regions and I’m happy to say we’ve accomplished it! Starting next matchup and going forward the North American WvW matchup will reset Friday at 9:00 PM EST, which is 01:00 UTC Saturday, and the European matchup will reset at 18:00 UTC. It’s our hope that this will make for a better experience for everyone.
Cheers!

This is just for WvW it has no effect on the daily reset.

We are not planning to adjust the server times for DST, because it is just overly complicated to keep up with. As of Friday, taking into account DST, the match up will reset at 6 PM on the West Coast of the United States, which is 9 PM on the East Coast. It will reset at 7 PM in the U.K.

To clear up my confusion, which has caused everyone else to get confused, I’ve updated the original post to correctly indicate when we are resetting. The times are:

01:00 UTC Saturday for NA matchups.
18:00 UTC Friday for EU matchups.

I’ll take full responsibility for this mess and will add this to my collection of arguments against daylight saving time.

I’ll look into getting it out broader. As this likely did confuse some folks.
