I can understand that you slot this livestream at a time where most Americans will be done working and getting home. You want them to be able to watch.
However, we have seen double livestreams in the past. How about you also slot a livestream at 11am PDT? Unless I did the math wrong, that should lead to livestream times: 7pm GMT, 8pm ECT, 9pm EET. And remember that that also covers not only Europeans, but players from Africa as well.
Would not be too hard I can imagine?
I wish I could but in this circumstance, the dev team is making special arrangements for us to preview the event before it goes live, and they have to wait until that afternoon to get everything set up for us.
I am really grateful for their help since I know they are busy getting the real live event prepped for our weekly maintenance the next morning for Holodeck, so I am only going to be able to do the later show.
If you wake up early the next day, you should have a few spare hours to watch the recorded show before the event goes live if you really want to see it
I have to admit, that's pretty vague.
Is it a mistake in the date? A livestream with only him playing? A livestream on Tribble? A bug in the Iconian matrix?
We need to know before it's too late! *panic*
It will be a big reveal day of, so you will have to stay guessing
We are currently recruiting others to join me. LT is game. Who else? Only time will tell...

Well I won't have to wake up early. 8 am PDT will be 1pm ECT for me. And I do have the day off. Except for all the Sinterklaas stuff I gotta prepare.
I'll make sure to watch it, really interested what changed in comparison to my past 2 years of Wonderlanding.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. This reason sounds fair enough.
And who knows? Maybe I get just enough sleep to still be awake at 3am..... (its 2am right now for me anyway, so we'll see).
In either case, good luck with the livestream, and make sure to give everybody my regards!
Keep in mind we have an entire EU team dedicated to STO and our other games that do Livestreams as well that are perfectly timed for our EU friends.
I wish I could do round the clock livestreams for everyone, but as we normally schedule our Livestreams for midday here in California which is great for our EU friends, but that limits other areas from taking part. I am glad to hear that this will work out for some of our players farhter across the ponds like Australia and New Zealand.
This time is the time I got cleared to do this show, and by the time everyone in the EU wakes up, the event will be live! So no fun lost. You can all jump right in, and if you are curious you can watch the recorded version of the show.
I will make sure to include links to it
~CaptainSmirk
And where is your EU team? There are still no information or blog posts on the german website.
There was an error on the forum last week where post and threads are gone, database errors and still no reaction after that.

The funny thing is we know what you are thinking already.
Okay livesteam please work, then oh man I hope this event actually will work since nothing has worked in a really long time, and then maybe we can hit double digit viewers finally if we can get it all to work okay.

I've never once seen an announcement about an STO livestream which wasn't being run by you or Trendy. So is there going to be one for this? I mean after all, you said there was going to be a "big reveal"... kind of sucks that if you don't live in the US you don't get to see it til the next day.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

How do you log into twitch in game, I not familiar with the program in game.
He who knows nothing, loves nothing.

Live stream at 3AM local time when my alarm clock starts its rampage at 6 AM.. I'll pass.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

Twitch is not part of STO it is a Game Streaming website the address for it is http://www.twitch.tv/ all u have to do is register for it
blanket codes never worked and due to everyone posting them on facebook and twitter they have decided tom withdraw them for te foreseeable future so spammers will ony stand a chance
Ya, I sat thru that chat spam once (incidentally the same LS that got blanket codes stealth nerfed by the devs) and decided it's not worth the headache trying to read all that garbage.

Hey Smirk, just a minor suggestion: could you add the Twitch TV channel to your Livestream announcements or signature? That would allow prospective viewers to find it quickly, add the channel to their favorites, view old Livestreams, and maybe sign up for Twitch TV ahead of time so they can join in.
[EDIT] So you don't have to look for it, here is the PerfectWorld_Community channel on Twitch TV.
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
Join STO Community Manager CaptainSmirk in just 40 minutes at 6PM PDT on http://www.twitch.tv/perfectworld_community for the Winter Wonderland Preview Livestream & a tour of the new T6 Breen Sarr Theln Carrier! Join us for fun & prizes with our gracious host Q!
Was wondering when the people that won zen in the live stream were supposed to get it. I haven't yet and won on the last drawing. twitch name Spyderw1.
"Was wondering when the people that won zen in the live stream were supposed to get it. I haven't yet and won on the last drawing. twitch name Spyderw1."
I have not received mine, DijonCyanide, either via the messaging of Twitch, but I know they stated it would probably be today (Thurs) so I am giving it till tomorrow (Fri) till I begin inquiring.
You & I Spyderw1 were both in that last group of winners so here is to hoping that they were still jotting down notes.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming of Q's Winter Wonderland Event.

Smirk and Trendy are probably running up and down in the PW office getting everything settled for the weekend...
Smirk said it was supposed to be yesterday (thursday) its now Friday, I've haven't gotten mine either...
Just wanted to confirm that earlier today, Sat., I was goofing around & checked my Twitch account & indeed I had a PWE-STO message pertaining to the livestream so ALL SEEMS WELL.
Thanks to all those involved with making the livestream happen, this was my first ever winning of something STO that wasn't a "blanket code". Also, whatever email account you have linked to your Twitch account should send an email notification too ... at least mine had. So to any other winners congratulations & commence with the Zen.
Now to figure out why after I have the Breen Chel Grett it acts like it still wants me to spend another 1000 Q pics for my other toons???
My first time viewing and winning! Had to check my "Other" box on Twitch to find it.
At about the 36 min mark. Smirk calls the internet handle I've used on various forums since 1999, Hobbitjedi, a genre abomination. Inspired in part by the glowing "Sting" in the old Rankin/Bass Tolkien movies. Also, John Howe's "Sam and Shelob" painting - http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/gallery/details.php?image_id=1467 Shown on screen somewhat when Yoda fought in Episode II-III.
May the force be with the hair on your toes so that it never falls out.

You do? Why are their livestreams never announced here, then?
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

That's pretty par for the course, mind you.
Also, to avoid complaints, stop scheduling event ends on maintenance days. Seriously.
