It's basically midnight 12pm PST so 3am EST, 2am CST, 1am MST, etc
I plan on logging on, making my characters to reserve any one namers and going to bed. :P
The poster on the GW2 guru site was nice enough to also link a site that translates the launch time to your time zone based on a city.
But now we know when to get super pysched and ready to go.
Yay! Our EST Survival Plan: 8/24: Big dinner early Sleep (yeaaaah, like I'm going to be able to sleep!) 8/25: Up at 2:30am COFFEE! Game Game Game! Go out for breakfast at 6am.
They really are trying to breed insomniacs :P. Honestly this is a smart move. Because population will be lower than if they launched at noon. They will have a few hours to adjust before things blow up.
I was going to be annoyed, until I realized that was 3:00 AM on a Saturday.
welp looks like I need to buy a case of 5 hour energy.
Haha, I'll be up at 3 a.m. too. My plan is the same; Make toons to hold my names and go back to bed. But you know how the best laid plans can go astray... Once I've gone back to bed and TRY to sleep... well, I fully expect that I won't be able to and I'll be right back at my computer! And that's if I manage to get away from the computer to start with! In reality I have a hard time sleeping as it is so I don't hold out much hope I'll get back to sleep on the 25th either!
Everyone remember the night before the first day of school?.... Christmas Eve, lying in bed, listening so hard, hoping to hear Santa put presents out…… Yeah it has been awhile since I had that kind of sleepless night. Kind of random, but I thought a “twas the night before Christmas†remix was in order. :} Twas the night before Launch, when all through the house Not an I/O device was clicking, not even a mouse. The cat6 cables were hung by the router with care, In hopes that Guild Wars 2 soon would be there. The Gaiscioch were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of character creation danced in their heads. With Foghladha in the lead, and everyone else in vent, We just settled our groups for a long Family Event. When out on the lawn Blue team made such a clatter, We sprang from the Keep to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, I typed the wave emote, but forgot the slash. Downed enemies on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of victory to objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But an upgraded Dolyak, escorted by an engineer. With most skills instants, so lively and quick, We knew in a moment this game was sick. More rapid than eagles our guild roster did grow, We filled, and capped out, then had overflow! Alrighty then got that out of my system.... lmao. Seems like a good thing. Might have to finish it while I wait for launch day.
Hmmm, 5pm on a Saturday for me... ... ... ... YIPPEE!
Damn that's a Sunday afternoon for me. I might have to see if I can get that following week off work.
Not Sunday afternoon, cuz it's midnight Fri night/Sat morning (Pacific time). We'll be staying up here. Would be happy to do a wake-up call service, too.
3 am for me. I don't know what I'm gonna do...
LOL, the Night Before Guild Wars is fantastic! Love it!
Well done, Jibbs. Well done. I plan to be up at 02:45 anxiously waiting until 03:00 to log in. I'll probably start trying to log in at 02:55 just in case :). I doubt I will go back to sleep after that... at least not proper sleep. Likely, I will play for a bit and then wake up with my keyboard keys imprinted on my face.
Elth I would imagine that's actually Saturday afternoon for you. If it's 5pm for Dargron, it probably is around 5pm Saturday for you as well. Unless you're in some wierd dimension and haven't shared that with anyone.
If it's actually Sunday for you while it's Fri/Sat for the rest of us, can you tell me what to invest in? :P

Yeah Elth that is Saturday Arvo for us. Can't wait. Might have to at least take monday off.
Elth is just used to always dating events a day forward (I had to double check myself when I saw "Saturday" come up on the converter). Gaiscioch events are usually in the late evening, so they tend to translate to around midday the next day for us. It does get rather confusing trying to always remember what day an event really falls on.
well... i work 8/25 and 8/26. so i guess it will just be no headstart for me. look for a roxanol in GW2, sometime... :)
Yay yay yay! Finally a game lauching at a civilized time! 7pm Saturday evening....me, GW2, pizza.....first day of vacation.....this could not be better!!!
7 pm is a nice civilized time! The unexpected benefit from a midnight launch time for us is that Drakhor will be able to squeeze it in. He's booked up during the daytime that weekend, but can stay up a little bit late to build his characters.
@Jibbs - Love the "Night before Guild Wars" ! I'll be there bright and early.... can't wait!
Another EST 3 am, eh? I kinda want to stay up, want to make sure I get on Sanctum of Rall and reserve some names.
Yes! Thanks for the info!! I want to get my names locked in asap and maybe look around some.
4 AM my local time. Bah, what's sleep for anyway? ;)
Hmm that looks like my weekend off, however I have a honey do list a mile long. Will see how RL will work with launch, if not I will be in game at some point. I am sure that there will be plenty to do.
I am gonna have to set an alarm so I can get up and roll my toons :) YAY!! Can't wait!!!!
I haven't been to bed before 2 a.m. since I retired and since I am in the Pacific TZ - I have only one issue... This will keep me on-line and up until about 6 a.m. which is a few hours after my bedtime :( I will suffer through it, though. :)
