    Wait, they were bugs? I thought they were features

    Is there a difference?

    I remember when I played my Atari...I had it plugged into an outlet on a lightswitch...And if I flipped the switch off/on really fast, a game like Pac-Man or Pitfall loaded into a weird glitched board (level).

    Used to be cool. So maybe there isn't a difference.

    Couldn't agree more. Despite what they think across the pond the world does not revolve around the United States of America.

    The world for this game QUITE LITERALLY revolves around the time zone that the company that runs it resides in. As much as I agree that the world doesn't revolve around the USA like most people NOT from the USA, I'd expect that if the game was based in Japan or the UK or New Zealand, the times quoted would be the times in Japan, the UK or New Zealand.

    You have the internet. It is in NO WAY difficult to find the time difference between zones. Google is your friend. Or, you know, Bing is your weird uncle that you have to get occasional help from.

    It's correct. The startup time will be 12 PM PST, which is 11 PM UTC.

    ...and 3PM EST...
    There is about as much water on Earth now as there was three billion years ago. But while the amount of water has remained static, the amount of tequila and Triple Sec available for the making of Margaritas has expanded enormously. So you see, we have made progress after all. ~Anonymous

    The Player (another P)

    And now we can't PLAY (P)

    trying to keep it clean for the forums that's why i used the five p's instead of the 6 p's

    Sorry, you are not a winner. Please try again.

    Done responding to you. In the future try being understanding of points of views like mine.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    What is that one weird time zone that is 30 minutes off instead of an hour? I bet that gets really confusing...

    If I ever set up an on-line game company, I'm gonna base it there to really keep people confused...

    I must admit to being a little concerned, on being told "maintenance has been extended, please refer to the forums for more details"... to find the forums providing nothing but database errors and apologies for the inconvenience.

    Is there any sort of fall-back for information when this happens? I tried Perfect World's main homepage, but (as I rather expected) found no news there.

    (Yes, obviously, the forums are back up now... assuming I succeed in posting this... but if I don't, no one will ever know I was wrong, will they?)

    (I think I'm confused now.)

    11 PM UTC.

    EDIT: Oops! You're right. I kept converting the time to EST (my time) in my head and then went and adjusted for that instead of the original PST.
