Just got Orange box...

Hi Everybody

On Friday I got the orange box (it only landed down here that day), and I've been playing quite a bit. So far, awesome! Portal really messes with my mind and HL2 is cool too. A few moments made me jump!

Anyways, one guy here (pharacon I believe) sent me the details of the GWJ TF2 server, which I have added. A few questions about it though:

- When is the time that people play on it mostly? When I looked just while ago, nobody was on
- I know time zones are a problem, so (a) what are the time zones in the states relative to GMT, and (b) Are there any people playing on the server from my timezone (GMT+2)?
- I saw that event for Wednesday the 24th, is the times mentioned there local times or GMT times?

Thats all questions for now, I'll check back later for answers

Regards

People start showing up around 7-9pm EST It tends to be full from 9pm-1am EST.

I think EST is GMT+6 not 100% on that though.

I see people on it through most of the afternoon, but it starts filling up after 6pm or so.

EST is GMT-5

So the server is usually busy at about 5:00 in the morning for you, skock. Although I rarely check it at 3:00pm EST so it's possible people are playing then as well, now that the game is officially released and officially a hit.

As stated, Goodjers only come on around 03:00 in the morning here, skock. There are a growing number of Euro Goodjers though, so that could be a solution. Unfortunately with the massive latency (300ms on average) you are not looking at much fun times.
