I disagree

There are only three main continents, to satisfy

Why not release at 8:00am EST / 1:00pm GMT / 10:00pm UTC? Or as near to that time frame as possible.
That way Europe & Korea at least get a look at sorrows furnace/grenths footprint before the 8th. (no lack of sleep required.)

This would be better for the majority!.. whereas an 8pm EST only serves americans.. yea I understand they are american based and they have the right, still its very biased and a little unfair.

I don't know if they can do it that way. It seems to me that the contents are streamed in universally, so anyone on the International districts from any server can access the new contents. If their technology allows the contents to be streamed separately to each server, then your suggestion would be great.

To stay on topic with the original post, im not at all bothered with the release, they said summer it comes out near end summer, nothing wrong with that, they kept their end of the bargain, however i really do hope it does not turn out like Diablo 2... i remmber it took them 2 years to finaly release 1.10, pretty sad, VERY bad consideration to their customers, and umm for those of you that are wondering, wtf is this retard talking about? daiblo 2 has nothing to do with GW, on the contrary, when diablo 2 was out Bill Roper and many of the other top people of Blizzard left and joined another company, you can fill in which one

, so ya as long as they keep customer satisfaction with new and rich content every now and then its cool, i was really looking forward for there to be more things to do in GW, but really... what can i expect? its a free MMO, (if you can call it massive since you cant actualy interact with everyone at once)

all in all, so far its ok just more content was expected at release

to go off topic a bit, i would love to see some sort of mini game in this, someone mentioned a card game in the game, which seems pretty interesting, i would like to see that just as an extra feature not that i am a big fan of card games

Yes they can stream it universally, its been seen before, they do it like that with every new build.

Its just the timing.. they can dictate whatever time they want to upload it to the servers in a global instant.. this is the 'new technology' they boast about.

At the risk of sounding petty, its looks like they have chosen a time that is less globally convenient and more American biased, bizzare considering their claims to the contrary.

This is bang on topic!.. title is.. thoughts on summer update release DATE.

aside from the bias, a great many of us wont be getting it on the DATE they issue.
