Step 3: Its a date! (Time and Date)

[Rizen]

This is a continuation of my Get-together Steps Topic.
Step 1: Time to start planning our place on PSU (Timezones and time) (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=121132&forum=20&61)
Step 2: Take two! Action! Music video idea. (Event for get-together) (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=122292&forum=20&21)

So now that we got the Timezones/Good times and Event down, its time to set a specific time and date.

Seeing that most of use are EST then CST/PST, we kinda have to make it convenient towards the majority, but also avaliable to all the other timezones and users. Seeing that PST and EST has a 3 hour time difference, it might be kinda hard get a decent time to spend a few hours for a get together unless its on a weekend.

We have to make the date a little bit after the release so it gives a chance for people to get online and get situated in the same place. Also, we have to pick a day that would best for everyone to get online.

So the objective here is:
Set a good time convenient for both EST, PST and nonUS players who will be importing.
Pick a date giving people enough time to get online.
Pick a day that would yield the biggest crowd.


Personally, I think we should have the get-together 1 week after the release on a Saturday at around 12PM EST (8 AM PST/5 PM GMT).

You know the drill http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I'd say saturday around 3-4PM EST... alot of people tend to sleep in late on the weekends.

[Rizen]

I thought that at first too, but I realized that we also have European players importing and I dont want to make them stay up late. Trying to keep everyone in view here. But majority wins http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Yoruichi]

whats that central?

[BioWarrior]

Yoruichi central is always 1hour behind EST.

[Yoruichi]

thank you thank you

[Aaomi]

Even though I am new around here I'll give what little input I can...

I would place my bets on Saturday 1PM EST (10 AM PST/6 PM GMT).

A lot of people usually sleep in on Saturdays but 10 AM doesn't seem too
early for anyone to wake up for a "special gathering"

Head explodes trying to not mess up time zones...

[pso123hrf]

Heres the thing. With me, I can't play games during the week (unless I get 2/5 more A's in Science) So maybe during Thanks Giving weekend, and Christmas. Look for a fortecher named Kairi <----thats me

[Yoruichi]

I'm pretty sure people will sleep in, probably because they will be

A playing all night
B Late Holloween party
C Just a lazy bum http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Word. I have to work on Saturday http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif Curse you Gamestop!

[BioWarrior]

All I know is, if I play all night, I'm going to be playing still all the next day, and then sleep for like a full day.

[Shiro_Ryuu]

I'm with a saturday afternoon.

[Yoruichi]

I rather it be a little into the afternoon central time wise, theres to many factors of being concious in time, not being to hung over, and other than that...I'd do fine in zombie mode.

[Candor]

Saturday sounds good, i don't sleep in (usually) so the specific time is up to you guys.

[Foxix]

O_o saturday at 8 am? thats really early to me, I don't like waking up earlier than 9 on weekends.

[Rizen]

It was just a suggested time x.X I really didnt have much to go by. Also this is just a start time, Im sure the event will go on for hours.

[Yoruichi]

Sounds good Rizen

Considering I have a week to get a decent outfit put together and at those prices, I'll definately be fashionably late lol.

[Kizzy]

12, 1, or 2:00 p.m EST maybe?

[Emrald]

Latest I usually sleep on a weekend is 10 AM EST. Anytime next saterday would be good for me....maybe during th week but it'd have to be after school but before my parents come home

[DizzyDi]

I think Saturday night is good. Like maybe 5-7 o' clock.

[-Break-]

I notice no one is voting Friday...we could do a PSU all nighter!
Come on this is a PSU board people, don't pretend like you have better things to do on a Friday night http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[DarkShadowX]

Saturday is fine with me, I'll be on practically all day(if I'm online by then, which I hope to be)

[Rizen]

So everyone is leaning towards 3ishPM EST ?

[Yoruichi]

Sounds good, plenty of time dread getting out of bed.

[Inu_Shadi]

Im good after 1 PM CST otherwise i might still be at work x.x

[mechatra]

Im quite liking that time for us U.K/EU people.

at least for a weekly meet and greet to exchange cards ect, then we can just contact people whenever.

Though maybe I'd prefer it an hour earlier or so, its a majority thing and Im open to comply since it really only takes one or two meetings for everyone to be linked up.

[CypherErebus]

I vote after 1pm CST as well. The afternoon is always good.

well saturday is set...maybe another poll for the exact time?

[Aaron777]

saturday whenever you guys want to meet up sounds great to me...

[RuinedReBirth]

I work Saturday from 7am-315pm PST. Which means if its before or around 6, I am going to miss it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

7-8 EST, imo, seems fine. Nights are usually the time people get off work since not a lot of people work nights (depending on their job). http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Kayai]

hmm saturday after release? ill be there!! ( im a highschool student...so i have off!! w00t)

[PLURSprout]

I personally can't do anything after 8pm this upcoming Saturday, but anything before that is good.

[Tystys]

Anything after 10-12 PM and before 9 PM I can make on a Saturday.

So I guess 1-3 PM EST would be an OK idea, XD

[Zyirth]

i´m really new here, but i´d like to add my grain of sand, since you look like good fellas. if there is an PSOW event, i can be on all saturday, as i have nothing else to do that day.

my 2 cents.

[DaizaThe7th]

Server?

[NeuroNomad]

Drats I currently work Weekend midnights so I will not be able to do it on the weekend.

[Nilot]

Heres hoping that sonic team dosent underestimate their servers and give everyone a rollback like poor Japan ;-; I'm considering just playing the offline story all the way before I touch online.. I don't want my character to be swapped ;-;

[Jozon]

I'd say noon cst(so 1pm EST?) since people like to sleep in on saturdays

[Rizen]

I want to make it the saturday 1 week after the release to give people a chance to get online, not the saturday after the release.

And Im seeing a tendency of 1-3PM EST...what do you guys think?

Woosh~! Post count 777!

Same here

[Cry0]

i think saturday 12-1 est woudl be the most comforteable for all.

[Rizen]

Bringing this back up again. Need more feedback.

[Callous]

So we're talking November 4.?

[Rizen]

Yeah, hoping for Nov. 4. It gives time for people to get the game and get online.

[Aaron777]

So lets just decide on a server...

Woah woah...slow down buddy. Thats next place is step...right now Im trying to figure out if there will be two worlds on the launch or not. Also need a bit more feedback for time...

[Aphael]

I don't really participate in the forum much but I'd enjoy getting together with everyone anyway.

So, time, time.. I'm free any time Saturday, though the ideal time is 6-7 PM

[Midicronica]

Well, I'm relatively new to the forums and I'd really enjoy participating in anything that would help me to get to know the people on the forums more.

Saturday is a good day, and if I don't stay up too late on Friday night I can definately get up for 11 PM CST/-6 GMT (my time.)

[Drown]

Sure, why not.
