    Yeah there is a flaw in the countdown thingy, It counts down to midnight on 18th/19th of august, but for people running on GMT and anyone before that it will say the servers are supposed to be up, nothing major just mildly annoying lol, I have not read the forums enough to know it started at PDT, I though I didnt need to seeing as the main page had a countdown.

    Anyway thats why some people might be asking why it isnt up.

    That's what I would call an understatement.

    See what I meant by "understatement"?...

    Read this : when it hit 00:00:00, the server will open : http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/pacific-time/

    Ok now that we have a real time from the admins... Seems like people are STILL getting confused.

    Servers open at Midnight on the west coast of the USA. This would be 3 AM East Coast USA, 7 AM GMT, 8 AM UK time, 10 AM for Western Europe, and for Australia around 5 PM.

    As people ahve said the countdown timer means nothing.. it only counts down to Midnight your local time. Everyone will get to start at the same time.

    If they did it by every time zone hitting midnight, People in places like Australia would be playing already, while people in Hawaii, would still have a long wait. This way it's fair to all (as fair as any international game can be with times as someone is always inconvenienced by time zones).

    Seriously people.

    www.perfectworld.com

    Go to the main website. Look at the right-hand column. THERE IS A COUNTDOWN TIMER.

    Do the math. Not too hard -_-;;

    Greetings everyone. We're happy to see launch day finally. Now some of you have been wondering at what time the servers will open? Our servers will be opening at12am PDT, (midnight tonight).

    If you are still unclear as to what time that is for you, then please check the following link:
    http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/pacific-time/

    We look forward to our midnight release tonight, and we can't wait to see you all in game. ;)

    Hmm, the timer on the home page is a bit off then, I'm guessing it must be using my system clock to determine when the servers are open, and doesn't account for time zones.

    It is the 19th where you are maybe. Read again their first post on this very discussion. It's about 19th time 0:00 Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7). What is so hard to understand? Ever heard that the planet is round and there is something called Time Zones?

    As you can see you rushed into trying to make someone else stupid that you made yourself look stupid. I am on GMT which means its the 19th for me, but unlike you when finding out the countdown timer was wrong I looked on the forums, found that the time was on PDT

    Before you post make sure you know all the facts.
