    I see it around 6 to 10 pm central time, where,I like to be logged in before 6 to skip most of the queue.

    about now on, as east coast is 5 hrs behind the UK (6 behind CEST)

    If I were you I’d play on the us servers during EU prime time.

    There are still plenty of people on but the lag isn’t bad.

    Once US prime time hits, Vivec is unplayable, and stays that way for about four hours.

    Huh? Those time zones overlap. Imagine it as a wave of people getting off of work, driving home, logging in to play several hours first on the East Coast, then the Midwest an hour later, then moving across the Rockies, and finally the West Coast.

    Not really? Vivec gets pop locked before 6pm for me central time and stays pop locked for several hours. That's the US primetime. Theres different players at different times - I imagine the West Coast people stay up later than I, but if they get on at 6pm their time, they'll be playing with me at my 8 pm time. Still primetime.

    I guess I define prime time as "Is Vivec poplocked with a queue?" And as such there is one primetime with a continuous high population made up of different players.

    Hmm I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I'm Australian and when I first started playing, I started on the NA server. But there were just too many people (I couldn't even gather).

    So I switched to the EU server and I haven't looked back. It's perfect for my time zone. Often times I get a whole zone all to myself. I love it!

    But with all of these EU server problems I'm starting to think I've made a mistake :/

    Prime time is when the different time zones overlap. It’s when the West coast has logged on but before the east coast has logged off. 10Pm est is probably when it’s the worst.

    About 9 pm UTC/GMT it starts to pick up as the people who get home early and school age people on the east coast login. It peaks about 4 hours later when the west coast peeps get home from work/school and then starts to die back down as the east coast people start to log off for the night.

    IMO the NA server Prime time seems to be about 7PM Eastern Time Zone (4PM Pacific Time Zone) to 2AM Eastern Time Zone (11PM Pacific Time Zone)

    well ok, but i find it hard to believe that someone playing in st. johns would consider the same hours to be prime time as someone playing in juneau.

    Yep want prime time...when is Monday Night Football scheduled? There's big bucks in getting the most viewers and they schedule the games to grab as many from the East & West coasts. So I think Katahdin's window pretty much nails it.

    Well your series of prime time zones addresses this notion. Personally being on EST I find prime time a little late for me due to my early to rise ...early to bed lifestyle. But when I want to roll with my PVP guild I suck it up and work with that time frame since it does pull people in our guild from the East & West coasts.
