This has been asked ad naeseum but I haven't been able to find the answer so if someone could please tell me at what times does the game update automatically each day in EST or PST that would be fantastic.

Like when do delegates switch over, etc?

Thank you, ES

for me it updates:

6 am and pm new issues

7:30 am. new regional stats

Cool but what time zone are you in? I am in EST.

Thanks for the reply, been trying to figure out when this game updates regions for ages.

for me it updates:

6 am and pm new issues

7:30 am. new regional stats

There is no single time for the updates. The update for delegacy takes place over a period of about two hours, as the system checks all the regions one by one. This is at 08:00-10:00 GMT.

It is worrying, however, that people might choose to invade an hour before an update. Regions don't stand much of a chance when that happens.

So that's 3 eastern standard time? Cool. thanks for the info.

didn't that start at 9 am GMT ?

didn't that start at 9 am GMT ?

I thought it's 10-12 Dutch time, and I think GMT is two hours less than that (1 hour in winter). How do you get to 9 am GMT?

This is a puzzling one,I've got a feeling the Mods know but aint saying! :twisted:

Sometimes it's about 10:00am (gmt) in the Urbanites but others it's been as late as 12....also Icant work out how the order is worked out because it doesn't look like it goes through page by page of the region lists...anyone able to shed some light on that?

Then they're being very clever! :wink:

I've heard a theory that all the regions are updated in alphabetical order. 000 would be updated first in that case.

The theory I heard was that it's in order of creation time. They're in the database in unordered fashion, and some days it's done last to first, and others first to last.

This is pretty much the theory I heard the most...I wonder what the chances of the Mods tellingus how it actually are?

Actually, I hope they don't tell. The last thing we need is griefers having it down to half an hour rather than three hours.

You know, I knew the answer to that at some point . . . but forgot. I didn't consider it important enough to remember.

What I've always wondered is at what time the UN updates...it would be useful for submitting a proposal, for one thing.

Well, those involved in invasions / defending / liberations find it an issue of the highest importance.

I think it should be important for Mods too, as the server update times are deadlines for salvaging griefed regions / reviewing evidence personally, determines a lot of the timing of when region griefing take splace (and hence when the Mod Reports about it are filed), etc...

ballotonia, we are always GMT+1, as far as i know, so when it's 10 am dutch time, it's 9 am GMT...
great, now i'm not so sure anymore.... ;)

The UN Ranking updates somewhere between 15:00 and 16:00 GMT.

You are very cruel.

Keep it up. :wink:
