Does anyone know how the time of the release of SotO will work? Sure, it says the release date is August 22, 2023, but because of time zones it won't be August 22 at the same time on the planet.
My guess is they will follow the time zone of ArenaNet's headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, which is about 9 hours behind Europe. So when the game releases at 22 of August in Bellevue, the clock would be around 9 CET in the morning in Europe?
Thanks for the help, guys. Here's an overview of when it will release around the world.
Here's some data from previous expansions. Combined with the experience that patches generally hit the live servers in the early evening hours
(UTC)) my guess is between17:00 UTCand18:00 UTCwhich is late morning / before noon at ArenaNet in Bellevue, WA(PDT = UTC-7).Thanks for gathering the info. Morning seems likely, since it is the where they have the biggest manpower to monitor the start and come up with fixes for critical problems.
it's also prime time on EU, gw2 has a lot of EU players so it makes a lot of sense
