    Now I know how well this went before, but it's worth a try.
    I and I'm sure others are too, are greatly inconvenienced but the current time of the events. The main problem is that they are on a Sunday and the time in England is 10pm. Now considering I get up at 6am on school days, I usually go to bed at ten every night to get 8 hours of sleep. So I can either miss events and have a good nights sleep, or I can stay up another hour for the events and get around 6 hours sleep because I go on minechat for auctions and usually wait for all the chests to be posted on the forums so I can see what I actually got.
    My point is that the current time/day isn't very helpful for me and others.
    It would be nice if the events were able to be moved to an hour earlier or to be moved to Saturday.
    I know this a big thing to ask, but I was hoping you could take it in to consideration.

    Many a time this has been brought up, its not going to change, it has to go when the biggest crowd is available.

    The main reason it hasn't changed is because there would most likely be nobody around to host them on other days.

    Personally, I wouldn't mind it being an hour earlier. I tend to eat between 5 and 6 pm est.

    Oh? I'm all for a change in time/day then, I am free saturday evening and can make an hour earlier too.easier.Maybe a poll? Every other time it just seemed that the current time was best

    Or just run it twice for the timezones, one for the main american and then a smaller one (with maybe a smaller prize pool) a few hours earlier/later.

    people would just go to both and get double prizes :p
    I think friday nights EST would be good for US, UK, and AUS

    So that's about 24 hours ish?

    Dokey okey, so Saturday morn for Australians.

    This reminds me, in about 7 hours when I'm home and fed again, I'll make a timezones masterpost for quick and easy reference.

    When you say Friday night, how "night" do you mean? Because I know I am 5 hours ahead of est and 7pm est is my midnight.

    They're just saying a general time for now, to see if there's interest. If it does change, then there'll probs be a discussion.

    I think sunday is a good day..but 5pm est is iffy for others...and with events being 2 hours or so its hard to say when a good time is...

    I do think Sunday is a good day, but if the time can't be changed to suit others on that day we may have to fall back to Saturday or Friday evening.

    I never understood why it was on sunday night, and seeing as I can run all of the events minus glass cage and floating ocean, I can do it when nobody else is on ._.

    I suggested a long time ago to move events to Friday night or Saturday night to help with australians.

    Dynodamon awastedlife anyone else who runs them a fair bit? Dyno you do them alot, why not make a poll to see if people want friday, saturday or sunday? Times could be specified after, would be in the general idea of evening/afternoon though
