    Wait, is it not a midnight release?

    I'm in Aus too but I finish work at 1pm so its not as bad for me :)

    Yeah, many people would have liked a midnight release, but I for one am rather glad for a daylight release. Or...daylight for the devs at least. In this way they will be awake and focused when the serves crash and Europe starts to riot. At least if something goes bad, they'll be awake enough to deal with it quickly.

    (I mention Europe only because from the poll I saw, there seems to be a HUGE number of BG players there. Even compared to North America.)

    It's 1pm MST, not MDT. Initial tweet was incorrect. I figure you just mistyped, since your 12 hour estimate was at the time correct, but just to avoid any confusion.

    MST is the daylight savings mode for MDT.
  • BamBam Member Posts: 38
    Nope Didn't mistype. I'm PST and I just assumed MDT meant mountain time in general. I was only right by accident. I'll make sure to fix it in the future.

    You've got that one backwards

    Mountain Standard Time = regular time

    Mountain Daylight Time = daylight savings time

    Right now Alberta is in MST.

    I actually messaged Nathan so that he would correct it, because his notification originally got it wrong as well.

    @ BAM you have a link to that poll?

    Canada's a bit wider than that. At least six time zones (PST, MST, CST, EST, AST, and NST) are present across its breadth. :D (I'm assuming you meant Edmonton, Canada.)

    @mallz Yep. right here http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/3663/where-are-people-that-play-baldurs-gate-mostly-from

    Also, the space between my name and the @ isn't supposed to be there.

    Sorry I should have made myself clearer. Canada right now is not in DST, so in the case of Edmonton it is in MST. But yes you are right there are 6 time zones in canada though Newfoundland's is a more of a half time zone since there isn't an hour difference between say Halifax and St. John's.
