Thank you for the information, Kaivax. As a long time player of World Of Warcraft, I appreciate the opportunity to be able to test out World Of Warcraft Classic. I definitely look forward to the second Stress Test.
Your entire argument is based off of time, which doesn’t matter. Unsociable hours? If it’s an oceanic or EU server, most of the people on there will be from those regions. Therefore, unsociable hours will only exist at the correct local times.
Night Elf racials depending on day/night cycle? Give me a break, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Lol. They’re allowing Oceanic in, you’ll have your precious realms that accommodate your time.
You’ve got EU players in beta.
Again, EU players in beta.
Heck, I’m not even going to do it, and if you wanted to do it yourself, you could get on a North American account and just log in. You clearly don’t want to, you just want to complain.

It will, it begins at 9 PM Icelandic time, 10 PM UK time, 11 PM central European time, 12AM East European time. There are a lot of gamers active during that hours. Plus, it is also for marketing purposes - it’s open the entire 48 hours for a reason.

It’s 5pm East Coast US, where the bulk of the North America region’s players are. So right when they get off work and can log in.
That’s probably accurate too, though this’ll be a real test of how many people actually are interested.
I guess you don’t know what 48 hours is. /sigh
Have you read my post? Have you checked an OC realm, you’re just proving that you’re ignorant and don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. OC realms run on AMERICAN time zones. That means if you’re playing at certain times of the day, the day/night cycle will be the opposite to your actual time zone. If you raid at 9pm OC you will NOT get the night time racial for Nelfs because the server is running off a US timezone and the game is still set at daytime. It’s a fact. Like I said, make a character, go to a city, listen to the bell tolls. The times ARE misaligned. Which will also be the case if there are only US servers with EU players on them.
What time is it IN GAME on an OC right now? I know, I have a character on one, and I can tell you that GAME TIME is not LOCAL TIME. The time in game does not match the ‘realm time’ on the minimap clock either. Fact.
So in other words, this is the only thing you care about, which really has no affect on anything. Thank you for narrowing it down for us and finally explaining why you care so much.
It’s a very trivial thing, but at least you now have a reason.
First of all the correct spelling is “it would”
secondly, actually it won’t, cause again, the servers are 2 different machines.
Uhhh. No they don’t. They run on AEST. Australian Eastern Standard Time (with Daylight in the Oceanic summer). It’s clear you have no clue what you’re talking about.
They haven’t been misaligned since Khaz’goroth was launched in 2005.
Actually, if you’re looking at the in-game clock with the option set to Local, then you’re seeing your local time. ![:rofl:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/rofl.png?v=6" ":rofl:")
You have to pay an additional $15 for that though, no? I’m sure they won’t just allow starter accounts in.
I’m not sure, if you do then yes, you are correct on this one and I was wrong. I was under the impression they are the same thing, I can log onto the retail Oceanic servers no problem.
Listen. As an example: It’s 12pm UK time. It’s 9pm OC time. The clock goes off, it’s 4 dongs and it’s nighttime. Why? Because the in game cycle is set to PDT on OC realms. I have a character I actively play on an OC realm. The times ARE misaligned. Go, make a character and go to the city, listen to the bell tolls in 25 minutes then Google the OC time, they won’t match by a long margin. I don’t haver the minimap set to my local time, I leave it as-is.
I played on OC realms from Mid TBC until Legion. While I lived in Australia, the server clock was set to the same time as I was. When it said 9pm and the “clock” in Dalaran gonged, it was 9pm my time.
You are wrong. This isn’t an opinion. It is fact.

Come August, this US/OC vs EU debate won’t matter. Though, it would be nice to have a Blue post clear this arguement up. As long as Blizz gets their info they need to fix/test the servers out before release, I have no problem with the test being exclusive.
This is the point of it. They need a playerbase that will provide the data they want, during the period they need. That isn’t Asia, and it isn’t EU.

This is the European forum - sure looks like they are in beta testing.

You’re completely mistaken and I’m testing it at 9pm on Thaurissan.
And complaining more than Erebos and Daimonas (who is in the Beta apparently).
Well good for them. Best of luck when testing ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
First of all, you should learn English. “won’t” stands for “will not”, and the opposite of “will not” is “will”.
Second, if you want to complain about English alnguage, go to Oxford. Blizzard is not a language research team.
Third, the servers are much more complicated, than just “two machines”. It is a cluster made of smaller parts, which are made of smaller parts, which are also made of smaller parts. It’s not like two MacBook’s standing next to each other.
True, EU has basically open beta. Well, not directly open, but almost everyone, who opts in, gets in within at most a week.
But, I’m not from the EU, so they didn’t invite me so easily.
Complaining does not offend anyone. Hate speech and xenophobia does. This is not Third German Reich. And, if it was, then Americans would be permbanned.
