So what how is CCP going to reimburse those of us who play during the AU/NZ prime time???

most people get home have dinner and then jump online to play only to be online for a hour or so and then DT comes Oops. mid way though a battle!!! mining op what ever your doing its interrupted.

Personally i feel those of us who live in au/nz time zone should be entitled to a discount on our subscription costs.
I wouldnt say no to a plex in my hanger every once in a while....

They are giving free eggs to all subscribers, which is really awesome because eggs are very versatile and very tasty.

What makes you such a special snowflake? You signed up to the game knowing that the DT is 11:00 UTC and now whinge about it? I thought it was us pommies that where the whinging ones.

It's easy to get a discount on your subscription, click account management, and cancel your account - simples.

7 years (well, more for some) and still these same threads. Yes it sucks, but if it wasn't your prime time then it would be someone else's. At least nowadays the downtimes generally seem to be a lot shorter. Well, except today apparently. Starting to reimburse would be a slippery slope. What about someone living elsewhere that works nights and plays during the day, or whatever? Nah, it just wouldn't work.

In the meanwhile, play first, have dinner during DT. Gets you a slightly longer stretch of uninterrupted playing Blink

Also, I should be reimbursed for missing out on effortless billions of ISK that were apparently possible with FW and early Incursions while I away PTwisted

I'm guessing you weren't around prior to them decreasing the length of DT.

Its 30min tops and most times 15-20min. Deal with it, AU/NZ TZ is the minority hence why DT is during that time.

Actually it's not in UK time, it's UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), if it were UK time then it would change time for the rest of the world when we get to what is laughingly called our British Summer Time where the clocks go forward an hour.

You live in a country where in every list of "World's most dangerous shite" 8 out of 10 things on that list live in Austrailia and you're worried about losing 15-30 mins of gametime.

Damn... I wish I had your problems..Shocked

Please enlighten us on how you plan to run mining ops when the asteroid fields are almost empty, which they tend to be right before downtime?

If you play a European game, expect European timezone.
