I believe it does matter. This is not only about EGA rather than about providing service to EU as a whole. Im thankful that we have the same launch day for example. But im curious about these timezones.

Although i do believe that they are sending those EGA invites eqaully to both sides of the ocean, its kinda weird that we have to wait on our EGA till late evening. Especially when we have to get up for work next morning and cant play as much during the nighttime.

Well, honestly i have been wondering about this too. Would like to hear some update on this issue and not only in relation to EGA but to game as a whole in future (maintanences for servers etc...)
