    Eastern Daylight Time
    EDT timing
    EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is one of the well-known names of UTC-4 time zone which is 4h. behind of UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The time offset from UTC can be written as -04:00. It's used as a DST (summer daylight saving time).

    Yeah it's a shame that they have both the date and the time listed as for the 13th in the EASTERN time zone (EDT) it means someone either fired it up early or they announced the date for the maintenance wrong which is a shame for us players who planned to use the down time by having explorers out.

    I missed sending out my explorers for a longer time frame for this maintenance because of the miscalculated start time, sigh...

    Great job in planning accordingly folks. But shiznit happens and quit being grumpy! We will get a email with some good stuff then continue our egg hunt. I'm not a hoarder or number cruncher and I just like playing the game in all its glory. Good luck to all on the rest of the event and hopefully they throw in a Cloaked General for G.P..

    Very confusing to use US time zone, and EU day/date. At first I thought, "Oh, someone forgot to put the C in CEDT," but then got confused as time math is not my strong suit. Having a big maintenance on a weekend, on the day of a holiday, and during an event really impedes the game play, and then to have it arrive more than 24 hours early felt more like rotten eggs, than Easter Eggs. Most of my guild was signed offline having family dinners, and I can only imagine their dismay, frustration, and confusion as they try (and no doubt are right now) to sign back in.

    Always glad to see Premium Time and Adventures extended after a maintenance, and am curious as to whether the PFB buffs will also be extended as so many people swap these during a big event.

    Thanks for all the things, BBs, that you do right, and appreciate your listening to us when things go awry, as they did this time, and there will no doubt be a lot of listening to do.
