Antique & Host Events for NON-USA Players

Chad · May 2020

Hello, I spoke to VFK_Brizzie a bit about this in game and about the possibility of it. I live in England and I know a few others who don't live in the USA who have to stay up until 1am even on a school/work night to make some of these events. Is it possible to do one event at an earlier time for those of us 5+ hours ahead?

I know @VFK_Brizzie said they would look into this but I just wanted to possibly get an update please with the upcoming antique event just around the corner! Thank you!

I think the only "issue" with this is that USA players and others will exploit this event to get more Antiques which is fine, but if VFK wants Antiques to remain rarer, this might be an issue. Just a thought.

They usually have multiple events, so perhaps he is asking if one of the events just be earlier?

Exactly usually there are two days of antiques, in just asking for one of them to be moved up to an earlier time so that we don’t have to stay up until 2am in order to participate.

This is smart! I totally missed that point. I was thinking twice the normal openings.

So smart and fair to UKers!

Honestly any time before 11pm would be sufficient for me but as early as possible while still making it fair for other time zones :D

I know we have @Raubtier who is in Germany which I think is an hour ahead of me? So that may be something to consider as well!

Just asking for at least one of the events to be a good time! :)

I think it would be fair to have one event for the USA and another event at a different time for the other countries!

I’m on board with this. :-bd

Thanks @Holly :D

I support this. I am USA central standard time so it would not affect me personally but I really hate the thought of some vfk players not being able to participate. It's something I never really considered before but am glad the thought has been brought up.

@waterfallglow thanks for the support Glow<3
