I have thought about that topic for a while now, but haven't had chance to throw it out there really. You all know that clan fights as such have been now set in rather formal times. Clans that are mostly GMT based are willing to get their action around 8 pm GMT (3pm EST), clans that are mostly EST based, want to start after 10 pm GMT (5 pm EST)
But how did those times really is set up like that?
If you think now, most of people who work from 8 am or 9 am, do 8-10 hour days and are free by 5 pm or a bit later. Now according to the EST zone, it's mostly when the clan's activities kick in, after the days work or school.
But if are now focusing on the GMT zone, we can both speculate whether there are more EST or GMT based people in the active clan world now, for them despite which of those clans they are in most of activities kick in at the so called evening prime time, around 8 pm.
Now, let me rephrase myself, taking the time back to 10 or so years, the times weren't that fixed yet. A lot activity was more spur of a thing and you saw clans like DS (PST/Aussie based) to be willing to go out on Saturdays at like 3 pm Gmt, just because there maybe was some Lithuanians pking, same with also every other clan..
So, was the times set like that, to allow both of main timezones to have somewhat fixing hours for both?
Was it more on EST favour, because of their numerical advantage?
Now, let's throw another thought into that mix. When are talking about this somewhat community based activity within clans, most are also driven into EST favour, let's say that you can find groups PvM or PK a lot more when you are going out on EST afternoons, rather than GMT afternoons. That even despite of the person's own timezone.
Have the GMT based community just blended themselves into the most dominant fix (EST) or does GMT based people just like to have that kind of activities later?
