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.

In the northern hemisphere, according to the meteorological calendar, summer begins on June 1st and ends on August 31st, in astronomy (calendar) it begins on June 21st and ends on September 21st.

🔮... just wait, time will tell what innovations the game will receive in the future.

But first you have to take a closer look at the product life cycles of the various products. So there is no way around it, with the help of a portfolio analysis, first work out whether products are "question marks, stars, cash cows, poor dogs", and then it becomes clear why the flow of resources is taking place as it is.

The fact that a company uses resources from product A during its product life cycle to develop a product successor is a completely normal process in business administration. That's not a waste.

Putting every sentence on the gold scales is somehow not very effective, since we all are not exactly informed.

Patience is a virtue. It is the ability that sufferers have that allows them to wait without stress and pressure. It is the courage to endure something without contradiction, whether it is a positive thing or a negative one. Only in the future will we see how patient the players/subscribers really are.

Yes it does. Basically, Microsoft DirectX is backward compatible. Starting with DX10 it's not a major problem as newer DX versions build on the previous version and just add extra features to it, but for some older games it may still be necessary to install DX9 as well.

Every server can fail from time to time, no one is immune to this, such a failure can usually only be compensated via redundant structures.

I don't think he's groping in the dark like we are, it's much more likely that silence will have to be maintained about it.

🤣... that "Tree" was for April Fools' Day.
