12:30 UTC + 3 hours is 15:30 UTC the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) Date and time format is defined in ISO 8601, it is written in 24-Hour-Format, and not with AM/PM.

It can't be as simple as long-time players not being part of the focus group because, for example I received the survey and I am heaving a subscribtion since the first day.

i got it, but i wasn't able to fill it out completely because of an error at one page. problem solved,🤦‍♀️ ... i sorted the answers inside the "wrong box" and because of that an answer was missing

Maybe the lower numbers this time have something to do with the fact that they were higher in the last two years due to Corona-related measures such as lockdowns.

The ping of my connection to TULAK HORD is in the same range (28-33ms) now like it was before it moved to the cloud, whats new now are spikes into the 90-100ms range that cause litte freezes and audio problems that sound like an audio delay.

September 1st for me in Europe is the day I would personally use for the beginning of autumn since summer is over. But if I look at the printed calendar hanging on the wall the beginning of autumn this year is entered on September 23, 2023, official calendars are based on astrology.

The two calendars (meteorological and astronomical) exist in both the northern and southern hemispheres. --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season The preference for which of the two is colloquially referred to obviously varies from country to country.

From the time of publication, an MMO is subject to market principles like any other competitive product. From the release it is subject to the compulsion to be regularly maintained and expanded on the content side, to assert itself in the market is necessary for any commercial MMO. Since the market is not infinite, every manufacturer strives to achieve as much market presence as possible with its product. If the product game A stagnates because it does not regularly provide the players with new content, they quickly migrate to the substitute good game B.

Undoubtedly, all this takes time, and the working time that is available monthly is also a limited resource. If something doesn't fit into the time budget, it can't be done.

Compared to the EU, Ireland has very low corporate tax rates, which makes it so attractive for companies as a location and has led to the European branches/headquarters of many large international companies being found there. Add to that the fact that English and Irish (Gaeilge) are the official languages of the Republic of Ireland. The EU "General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance" forms the data protection framework within the European Union. The expressly standardized so-called "market place principle" also ensures that the regulation applies to data processors who are not established in the European Union if data processing serves to offer goods or services to persons resident in the European Union. In practice, this should mean that supplying European customers with servers located within the EU should be a lot easier from a legal point of view.

If you look at the AWS zone map for Europe --> https://aws.amazon.com/de/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regions_az/?p=ngi&loc=2, the question somehow arises as to why France is supplied from Ireland, although Paris is also listed.

🤔... maybe the start program is now desperately looking for all servers in the cloud, and of course hasn't found any yet.

🔮Tuesday, October 3, 2023 (Day of German Unity) is a public holiday across Germany, ... so there will soon be another Tuesday that has the potential to annoy more customers by moving a server to the cloud.

In many other European, mostly Catholic countries such as Belgium, France, Italy, Croatia, Poland, Portugal and Spain, August 15 (Assumption of Mary) is a national public holiday. The same applies to Austria and some Swiss cantons. But where does the holiday of the Assumption of Mary come from in France and why is August 15 a public holiday? The origin goes back to the reign of Louis XIII. (1610 - 1643), the son of Henry IV and Maria de Medici. As he and his wife Anne of Austria were having difficulty getting an heir, the king began praying to the Virgin Mary. On August 15th, processions were even organized in the parishes. In 1638, as if by a miracle, little Ludwig, who later became Louis XIV, showed the tip of his nose. Louis XIII decided that August 15 should be a Marian feast in honor of the Virgin Mary. Those responsible who decided to move the French server to the cloud for the day could easily have found out that it is a public holiday, but they obviously failed to do any research.
