It would be nice to have a way to know what timezone everyone and possible usually when they are on. It is just nice to have to know who is around or the time difference to know when most people get on. This is voluntary, so no pressure, just thinking of a way to also help organize things! Maybe BoB will want to turn this into a spreadsheet later, but for now I will just update this post (or mods feel free to update it too!)

Feel free to share your info (region, GMT different, in-game name, and usual play time)!

This thread is a great idea! I think we should share our usual play time in UTC as well, so everyone has a convenient metric for comparison.

Timezone: UTC +1 or MEZ (Same as Mirage)

Playing time: Normally during workdays 8-10pm (7- 9 pm UTC), weekends whenever I have time, mostly friday evening

Btw something went very wrong with the time here, isn't Ireland and GB the same time? And Bob is definitely one hour behind me..if you also have summer / winter time that is o.o

GMT -8. Free usually Tuesday through Thursday. I work weird hours and nights so I'll likely be on the same time as the AUS/NZ/EU/ME folk.

Level six lancer REPRESENT.

Sigh. Every time I sign on, there's nobody. It's nearing midnight PST right now (8AM UTC) and there were approximately 3 people online in the FC. It was the same last night. I'm probably not going to renew for another month of this. Playing solo is pretty miserable. Maybe in a year if some west coast NA people start playing I'll jump back in.

Don't despair too much, Unne. It's been a slow week - wait for patch 2.1 (17th December) to come out and see how it goes.

Also, I'm expecting to add a few North American leaders in the next few weeks to help us grow the Linkshell out that way. The rather annoying thing is how many people there are who part because there aren't that many people online. I mean... if all of them just popped in at the same time it would be great, but you all seem to make a habit of avoiding each other. The number of American players we have is actually pretty huge. Jessweeee, Bobby, Kalen, yourself of course, Lumos, Vin, Ceri, Mindy, Nico, Jowy, Bleys, Yearg, Chal... you guys need to get in touch with each other and arrange things, perhaps? I've partied with pretty much all of you guys at some point, I don't see why you guys couldn't get on at the same time.

But yeah, the two people I have in mind for the American side of things are very active in the game, and very good at making friends, so fingers crossed this will work out well.
