I went looking on the realm listings when looking at Realm Selection. Why are the time zones not listed? This seems to me like something that should be included in the Realm Selection window.
For example I was thinking of starting a couple of toons on the Population selection for new players to see what its like for new players but none of the listing tell me what time zone they are on since I would like to play in my time zone. This seems like a reasonable idea and something that is of major consideration when choosing a new server to use. Couldn’t they just add another column with a time zone on it? Doesn’t seem like it would be that hard.

Yeah, it’s pretty stupid.
Even though I’m East-coast based, I played on Midwest and West-coast realms until recently-ish. All the way until Legion.
Hated that my old guild raided at midnight, which was 3am for me lmao.
I had to go to other websites like the wiki to see which realms were in what timezones.
It matters less now, cross-realm and whatnot, but still annoying.

I have never once thought about this… They should absolutely be listed somewhere. With the new character selection screen coming with TWW, and currently on beta, when you hover over a character it will now also tell you how much gold they have, and which realm they’re on.
Could this feature not be expanded upon to also state the time zone beside the realm? They could even go a step further and have an icon for when a character has a Great Vault to open, since we can see when a character has mail from the selection screen.

It is available just not in game which it absolutely should be.

That is the official page for Realm Status and it lists the timezone. Click on the Population header to sort “New Players” to the top. Looks like almost all are Central Timezone. Though one is Brazilian Time.
I agree that this should be listed in game as well though.

Yeah going to a third party site to figure out basic game information seems to me like they are not doing their job.

This would make deciding which server to choose a bit easier. And better for people in the long run.

They should be. Since they aren’t, I googled it and found this information before picking my server.
