The US EverQuest 2 Servers will come down on May 29th, 2014 at 7:00 AM Pacific Time for a hotfix. The expected downtime is approximately one hour. *Time Zone Converter EU servers will come down beginning at 9:00 PM PT (6:00 AM CEST May 30th, 2014) for the same hotfix. Downtime is anticipated to be approximately two hours. *Time Zone Converter Update Notes will be posted in the Game Update Notes (Live) forum once they are available.
Why post EU server down times using American timezones? Fair enough you give a link to a time zone converter but honestly wouldn't it just be a lot more simple to post the EU times in BST? Thanks for the notice though
Any idea when exactly in June the "Gear Up, Level Up" will actually be turned-on as stated on the Producer’s Letter: May/June News ?
BST is only used half the year, so that would just confuse things. This is why GMT is a pain to use because Brits more from GMT to BST in summer. CET (and in the summer CEST) is being used because, arguably, there is a larger population from west Europe than those who use EET (EEST) and so on. Personally, it should be UTC as UTC remains constant throughout (it's also equal to GMT). Further reading. tl;dr The update for EU servers is 0400 UTC, 0500 BST, 0600 CEST, 0700 EEST.
No matter what I do, someone has an issue with it. I have the EU server downtime posted in PDT AND CEST. CEST is not an American timezone. The link to the Time Zone Converter further aids others. I think I have covered all the bases. I know the answer, but I can't tell you yet. I can say that it will be in June though!
I use GMT, BST, CET, and AEST (Australia) time on EQ2Wire. I didn't know CET changed to CEST during the summer.
