Timezone coverage of DMs

Unread post by DM Wisp »

Hello dear players, this a bit of an informal poll for myself and any DM possibly watching. I would like to know from everyone here, which block of time made in my poll seems to receive the least coverage of DM attention, in the form of issues solving or events that occur(planned or spontanious), and which due to life constraints have you miss out on any possible adventures.

If you have elaborations to make on your choice, please make them.

3:00am GMT to 6:00am GMT

My peak PST hours and I litterally see no one on other than maybe Hera. It's a bummer, Ive never once seen a single master plot event.. and rarely an event period.

Was gonna say that I like the idea of the topic but that it's hard to judge if you can't play at all times.

But apparently I have the luxury to almost always have had to have a DM or even multiple around.

18 GMT to 24 GMT seems to be very good covered usually.

0400-0800 GMT is my primary play time and there are never DMs on in those hours except when I was that DM :roll:

Played on all the different timezones throughout my years here and I've gotta say times around 6:00-12:00 GMT sees not only the least amount of players on but almost no DM presence.

This is my experience as well. The number of DM's per capita of players and whether those DM's are focused on guilds or dming at random makes a huge difference.

Anyways I normally play at about 2200 GMT and I am seeing a fair amount of dm presence.

Es ist euro hours, as already mentioned. However, I don't think it is necessary to have many DMs online when there are only 20 players on the server.

As someone who has always played on GMT+8 there has always been times where there are no GM's present, it seems to vary depending on the day/month. for the most part events tend to take place between 3am - 7am my time which means i do miss a rather large amount, especially during the week.

The last two months I have been in about one a month with an average playtime of 2 hours a day. So 120 hours and I kind of forced myself into the golden wolf plotline but the DM had me waiting for an NPC reply which never came. I think there needs to be more DM's.
