Was there ever a thread about what times we would likely be planning raids/events?
If not, what are Echoes plans for that? I'm concerned mostly with times, not as much days. I think days will work out once we know lockout timers (if they exist).

Hello there!
If you check this thread - http://www.gaiscioch.com/tavern/ffxiv_discussion/post_63593.html - you'll see that Echoes does not have set raid or events in the same manner as the GW2 style you (I) am Familiar with...
From what I gather, people will need to step up to host things whether on a weekly or monthly, etc. basis. The officers themselves are not obligated to lead anything. I'm pretty sure people will step up and do small group sized activities once we all have our rhythm going.
On another thread, Hex and Photos (I think) are volunteering to tank and heal for Ifrit this coming release week at 6pm pst.
Oh, and I think it was Hex who wanted to organized end-game raids..I think it was Hex. I get Hex and Shmi mixed up sometimes.
There's no set time. Just a guess since most (all?) of us to are too low level to raid, but I think it will end up working like it did in Rift. Someone decides to lead a raid group, finds folks who can commit to that time and away they go. We had quite a few different groups back then.
No need to be an officer to start one. If this is something you enjoy, go for it!
BTW: As for telling us apart, Hex is the one that talks funny. She's got that whacky Kwenglish accent! :)
I'm not so concerned with structure or anything, more wondering about when clumps of people are planning to play to do the group content. I guess a better thread would be "when does everyone plan to play the most" kinda thing. Just to see when the company is gonna... you know... have company. :)
I'll just stalk shadow Hex - she seems to play around the same times I do!
Umm during betas it was pretty much a 24 hour guild. I would say it is even pst - est with about 10 of us Oceanic or night players.
As for raiding, I will be organising one 6 pst Fri/Sat but that is a long way off. That will start as an 8 person one and go from there. It really is up to players to make their own events if they want to.
Raids will be based around the individual raid leaders time zones, but first you have to level to 50, then heroics, get gear etc, and all that is conjecture as no official details have been released :)
Me? I usually start after 9pm PDT, online until I get sleepy. I'm often online during afternoons PDT as well, but ... I am busy from 6-9pm PDT, if I'm actually awake then.
I don't know how any of that is going to change once I get a 2nd job and if it will be full time or part time, so playing it by ear works perfectly for me.
I have a lot of time to play so am even on early enough some days to play with the end time of the oceanics, but not always. I play on and off throughout the day. I do tend to crash anywhere from 10 to 11pm est (7 to 9pm pst). I've stayed up until 12:30 though in the last beta, but don't expect that too often in live. =) Thinking of that I need to recheck what time Ifrit with Hex and Gib was going to be again to be sure I read that right and can actually do it.
Edit: Phew the 9pm in my head is right for my time since it is 6pm pst for Ifrit fun times. =)
