[IMPORTANT] - Wipe Time Poll!

[GuideRaguel]

Hello Community,
As we prepare for the imminent wipe on the 18th of February, we are putting to the community a simple question...

Would you as a player prefer the wipe to be on the Afternoon of Friday US PST or on the Saturday morning US PST?

We ask this due to one reason, if we were to do the wipe on the Friday afternoon, then in the EU time scale this will be around Peak time, as on average the EU are around 5-8 hours in front.
Our thinking is that if we do it on the Saturday morning US PST then we can get this final wipe/update out during non peak times.

Please use the poll to make you're Voice herd.

Thank you.

I get off at 11 PM on Friday so, in a selfish move, I voted for that afternoon while I'm at work.

hi GuideRaguel,

Just a suggestion ... I think that there is a good probability that many people voting for the Friday afternoon wipe are voting for that option simply because they would like to start playing the game as soon as possible (I know me and a couple of my friends did ). That being the case ... why not offer the options as Friday morning US PST or Friday afternoon US PST? This way they will both remain a Friday the 18th wipe and launch, prompting many more people to vote for the Friday morning US PST wipe instead of the Friday afternoon US PST wipe. I know I voted for the Friday afternoon wipe, but I would gladly pick Friday morning if given the option. To take this reasoning a bit further, if there was an option for the wipe to be at anytime of the day on Thursday the 17th, I would jump at that one in a heartbeat as well

In other words, the sooner the wipe = the sooner we can all start playing = the happier we will all be

Just a friendly FYI. I hope I made sense lol

Aye, I think people have voted for Friday night because that means about, what, 10 EST, 8 MST, 7PST? That'd be absolutely perfect across the Americas.

Many of us have arranged time off friday to be there for the final wipe, after already arranging time off once this week before the final wipe was moved from the 14th.

Its a major inconvenience if you do this again by moving it to Saturday. Voted Friday Afternoon as planned and originally stated.

If it were Friday morning, many players in the US would have to go to work and not be able to get on to help establish their tribe's starting location.

Yeah and if it were friday afternoon or evening, many players in EU would have to go to sleep, as we are about + 8 hours, and we wont be able to...blablabla
and if it were got to XYZ many players in Australia *blup*

This was not a serios suggestion and when i read GuideRaguels comment on this, i think we all should prepare for monday 21st as it was with the last wipe which was planned for a friday :P

edit:

be absolutely perfect across the Americas.

just selfish as i expected
