Frankly I play at such odd hours most of the time when I do play games it doesn't matter to me what server/time zone we play on. The magnitude at which we are reading into this might be a bit overstated as well. Yea, most people will join their own personal time zone server for the simple fact that they want to be on during those "prime-time" hours as everyone else.
If I had to pick though, I would go with an EST server so we could join in on any action. On the other hand, as was said before... the most important thing is we stick together. I think we should wait for these polls they are announcing to see what kind of chance a certain server is going to be the unofficial oceanic, and unofficial RP servers. Then we can make a more educated decision as well.

Hoss, it is my understanding that all NC Soft's Aion Servers are physically located on the east coast. The servers are designated West Vs East merely in terms of in-game time and in-game events.
I think the main thing is to find out more about the fortress siege timing and if/how that would impact the guild. I fully admit, I know little to nothing about the end game. I've decided I'd rather it all be a surprise this time. But, I certainly don't want to shoot ourselves in the collective foot if we will be missing out on events. Shrug. I don't know and haven't been able to find a good answer.

I'd love a pst/oceanic server. Our WAR server was always dead dead dead for me.

So that means the two chicks from the Aion's World podcast will probably go there. (the one is from Australia and I think they live on the west coast). Actually Slurm, they are staying far away from that server. Too many of their friends are US players like us.

I think it would be in our best interest as a majority-East-Coast guild to rethink our server choice.

I think it would be in our best interest as a majority-East-Coast guild to rethink our server choice. Yes, if anything the server choice discussion has just gotten more, not less complicated in the past few days as a result of vague communications from NCSoft amid various splintering internet communities. Here is what I know at the moment: 1) Yes, Zikel is assigned to the West Coast and will also be staked out by the Aussies at launch. A splinter group of Phoenix Throne Warhammer players had been pushing the server hard as the "unofficial RP" server for launch in the past few days but the West Coast/Aussie thing has totally killed momentum. 2) The new darling of the aionroleplayers.com (ARP) community is Lumiel, an East Coast server that just opened at the start of Open Beta. It has no community to speak of and isn't even fully populated yet. It has built up a comfortable lead in the latest ARP community forum poll, however this poll's results are unlikely to be decisive, because: 3) ARP's efforts have apparently drawn the attention of Ayase at NCSoft, who instead of blessing the results of this or any other ARP poll will be starting a poll of his own on the beta boards any moment now. This will most likely be the final, authoritative vote after which Ayase will crown the winner as the "official unofficial" RP server. 4) Support for Nezekan on ARP and Warhammer Alliance is drying up due to its being "sent off" to the West Coast just like Zikel. Also, the infamous RageQuit guild is now rumored to prefer this server to Siel, causing many in the RP community to shriek and flee in terror. However, another diehard splinter group of Phoenix Throne WAR refugees is determined to stay there regardless. That's all for now, I still have no idea where I'm gonna wind up on EITHER side

I always used to think that this country had something in between the east and west coast, but if NCSoft doesn't believe it then maybe I shouldn't either... I was curious about what this would do to fortress siege times, and it looks like the answer so far is that no one knows, but Ayase is 'looking into it'. The system is that every 2 hours there is a random chance for fortresses to open up for siege, but apparently in China/Korea they only open in prime hours. Hopefully for us they will change that to 'more of them open in prime hours'. I am on the west coast, but (assuming NCSoft isn't retarded about fortress sieges) I wouldn't mind an east coast server. I think I must play too late anyways though, cause I have yet to see anyone else here online.

Not speaking for everyone, but I've simply not been playing. Not been in the mood to play a character that's going to get wiped hehe.

Same here. I have had a crazy week at work (literally, like tons of shit that you could not make up), and I really don't care for the Asmo side.
I want to avoid going through the Elyos side again so I don't get burnout for release.
