There really isn't any other practical way to synchronize players from multiple time zones.
Sure there is. Addition. But then, I'm agreeing with you. Players need to be doing these very hard addition problems in Base 10, Modulo 24. |

According to US law, if your business does business or has Employees in the United States, your company has to either incorporate a subsidiary corporation in the state you wish to do business in, or you have to register as a Foreign corporation. Either way, your company becomes subject to US Federal and State law.
So, since CCP North America is incorporated in Georgia, it's an American company.
Now as far as I know there's no law requiring you to use local time in an e-mail giving away free stuff, so the guy you replied to is wrong as well. |

Really someone is raging because they couldn't be bothered to figure out the date that London is in. Since internet spaceships is serious business I have been known to get up earlier to make sure I get various things set(skill queue, gifts, updates, etc) and I get up at 6AM -8 GMT normally.
GMT isnt really that hard to figure out and you could use the time zone box to figure your offset.
-looks at clock
-clicks on clock
-switches to time zone tab
Ohh lookie US/Los Angeles -8 GMT. London is in the future atm.
I only play games from the future
Man, it's hard to converse with people who live in the past. GMT -7(Arizona) here. I'd be happy to talk to you come summertime. |

That is why this community gets such a bad reputation. CCP does something nice for those who weren't as fortunate and you bring up BS darwin references and other crap. This makes you look even worse because if you claimed it this has NOTHING to do with your gameplay or account. Yet you forum warriors feel the need to rage about CCP being nice to the op anyway.
Unbelievable!....
Once apon a time there was a man that lived by the river. He heard a radio report that the river was going to rush up and flood the town. The report said that the whole town should evacuate immediately. But the man said, "I'm religious, I pray. God loves me. God will save me."
But the waters began to rise. A man in a rowing boat came along and he shouted. 'Hey! Hey you! You up there. The town is flooding. I can take you to safety.' But the man shouted back: "I'm religious, I pray. God loves me. God will save me."
A helicopter came hovering overhead. A guy with a megaphone shouted. 'Hey! You there! The town is fully flooded. Let me drop down a ladder and I will help you to safety.' But the men shouted back that he was religious, that he prayed, that God loved him and that God would take him to safety.
The man then drownned. When he got to the pearly gates of St Peter, he demanded an audience with God. 'Lord,' he said, 'I'm a religious man, I pray. I thought you loved me. Why did this happen?' God said, 'I sent you a radio report, a helicopter, and a guy in a rowing boat. What on earth are you doing here?'
CCP Sent you an E-Mail, a Login Page ad, a Dev Blog, and a Forum sticky. What on earth are you doing here? |

If you got your gifts then you arent affected. Instead you are just venting and otherwise wasting everyone's time.
CCP overruled you. CCP seems to not think your darwin references are relevant. Umad?
It's a pain to find my post, press Edit, and uncheck Receive notifications. It's easier to keep wasting your time with ontopic, rambling replies.
Just because CCP has decided to cave to whiny people too lazy to read the E-Mail, Login Adverts (I remember seeing them several times), Forum Posts and Sticky, Dev Blogs within a week and a half of them doesn't mean i'm mad.
(And if I had picked a marketable gift, the more gifts awarded, the less each is worth. So it would affect me.)
Finally, who's to say "wasting other people's time" (I call it "Contributing to a Discussion") doesn't provide me with sufficient pleasure to justify tearing my eyes away from the adverts on the TV? |

Last time I checked a global market place meant the entire sphere... Not the little bit that America resides in... And compared to the rest of us, Yanks reside in a very small slice of the pie...
The Eurozone has ~330million people and is politically and economically fractured with quite a few jurisdictions all of whose laws are very different from each other.
The USA has ~320 million people and is politically and economically united with very few differences between the laws of different states.
Eurozone's GDP is ~$12 trillion USD while the USA's GDP is ~$15 trillion USD. So with that homogeneity to make doing business easier comes a bigger market to play in.
So I'd say the USA is a pretty large slice of the Pie (especially in terms of the MMO market), even if only for the fact that it is one cohesive piece of pie to the Eurozone's chopped up mess. |

Never said I wanted to be. Those of us who live in the USA and can't subtract a number between 4 and 8 from another number between 1 and 24 in the base 10 mod 24 system should HTFU and shut up.
I don't want to be the new Zulu. The Brit's got that covered, and have a giant brass ball on top of it.
That doesn't change the fact that US players represent a very large proportion of this and other MMO's player-bases.
--- the English as an international aviation language is simply because we won the War in 1945.  |
