    Wrong...every thing in game is EST every night reset is at midnight est NW is at 8:20 friday and Sunday EST and So far Maint has been EST

    Maint has been forever PST... You've been a member since 2009, I would hope this had sunk in many blue moons ago.

    On the East Coast servers yes, NW and all other events are based on your server time zone. But maintenance has forever and will always be PST.

    Once again not sure what you're complaining about, they even said 6AM - It's barely 5AM EST.
    Dreams are just dreams...

    I have a question about the new content and if I missed it on another post/thread I am sorry.

    They will increase the bag slots from 64 to 80, my question is:
    People who bought the Super Inventory Stone before the expansion will automatically get the 80 slots right? I mean, from what I understand you take a quest when you get the stone and you can only take it once, so, it should be easy for them to do that. If I can still take the quest it's because I never bought the super inventory stone, else, I bought it and deserve the 80 slots. Right?

    Thanks in advance for the replies b:thanks

    IN GAME is based on WHAT SERVER you're on. East Coast servers ARE based on EST, WEST COAST are based on PST times. However Maintenance has ALWAYS been PST. Ever wonder why Maintenance is always 2 hours AFTER RESET on East Coast Servers? It's because all times PWI bases on a clock that is EXTERNAL to the in game clock is based on PST. It's called common sense, I know it's a rare commodity nowadays, but I know you have the capability to pull the minimum amoun of wattage to make the lightbulb over your head at least flicker a little bit.

    So...
    I had to point out...
    Maintenance is always posted to begin at 11PM, yet occurs after reset on east coast servers...
    Yet, the times seem to correspond in this guy's head as both being EST...
    Servers reset at midnight server time...

    This means that for all things to be true 11PM must occur two hours after midnight...

    Either we have an idiot on our hands, or we need a madman with a box to come fix the timey-whimey thingies...

    No manual patch, however the auto-update is now live, so if you launch your patcher you can begin to auto-patch it now

    So the update is out, the servers just aren't up yet? Must be checking stuff. Good to know the auto-update is out though.

    Is there something wrong about this time conversion?
    Maintenance Question: If you could have 1 new thing in this expansion, that has never existed before in PWI, what would it be and why?

    I would be glad if unbind stone comes to PWI.
    Anyway, I think that this expasion will be awesome. Can't wait to see it and play!

    Ehhhh... My recollection may be slightly off, but if I remember correctly (based on the episode that featured 8, 10 and 11 together, when they were held at theTower of London and the door was wood) it CAN work on wood, however it needs to have enough time to tune in to the specific resonance pattern of the wood, meaning you'd have to have two doctors from varying time streams with unaltered sonic screwdriver software (such as 8-11 had)

    However, the sonic wasn't for fixing the servers, it was for fixing whatever time paradox lead to 11PM being 2 hours after 12AM...

    Though, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if PWI servers were made from wood, given the lag spikes that frequent Raging Tides server at least...

    We haven't had a manual patch since 10/14 which I originally thought to be laziness on PWE's part. But with a large expansion and no manual patch, just show's me how little they care about us.

    I am going to guess it's big, but I do not know for certain.

    Load up the starting screen thing though, it is kinda hot. And it's huge, it's like double the size now.

    I don't know any official numbers, however I would guess that yes, it will be more than 1.7 gb... Earthguard patch was arund 1.1 GB and contained far less than this one...

    On top of 2 new classes and starter area (which is about what we got with EG) we're getting new instances, a new engine, updated NPCs, new UI, updated quests, updated BHs, etc.

    I'd say MINIMUM is 1.5 gb, but my estimate is closer to 2 - 2.5 gb
