Their are 2 big answers to this question, and also relates to the Time Zone issues faced by an International version. China only has one time zone. So hard codeing events to this setup does not have much impact in one timezone. The second point is China does not do DST. Simply put at the main point you dont need a system that can handle it.

The last point is merely on how old the system is to be able to code it in now, In this respect it makes more odds to just take the servers offline. However any impact from this such as base resets/ X Server issues as per the past are unavoidable issues.
Im sure this causes some upset but Ill have to be blunt again, the damage from a server overwrite would be more of an issue.

In the past PWI have compensated, Im sure this will be the case again with this.

Sorry long winded, im sure others have asked so should cover any questions.

Thanks.​​

Please remember DST for EU on 03/29/20 which will be all servers as the X Server runs on EU time.

Please report any issues you have from DST maint so they can be addressed.

Thanks.​​
