Global Event timezone adjustments

Suggestion:

Event timezone adjustments​

Detailed description:

As of now, the winter events that take place every day are usually at 1:30 PM GMT+0, however, wouldn't it be a better idea to host different events at different times of the day to accommodate for varying timezones? For instance, one event could be at 5 PM Eastern time zone, another one could be at 4 PM GMT +12, etc.

Yes, Pika is a European server, however, its playerbase is mainly comprised of Asian players with a handful of North American players too; wouldn't it be fair to host events at a time zone convenient for those players?​

Reason(s):

- Events become more inclusive (players from other regions get a chance to participate in events if they're hosted at a time convenient for them)
- Players may look forward to events way more than usual​

The timings mostly depend on the developers' and staff's availability, so if it does fit in that time, it could be changed, but otherwise, no, this is not happening.

Moreover, there is no perfect timing to meet all the players' requirements, because some players are available during the morning, some during the afternoon, some in the evening, and some at night, there will always be some amount of players left out. And then the developers' and staff's availability, too, which I already mentioned.

Personally, I'm mostly busy before 1:30 PM GMT+0, so I'll give this a:

-1

People who live in different timezones can adjust their tim eaccording to the event there is no need to change it because it depends on the player not the game

That's what I said, there is no perfect time, some players will always be left out, no matter the timing, so now it depends on the developers' and staff's availability, which I think are the factors that pika already considered while selecting the event time, in which case it won't be changed.

i dont think u get the point at ALL. Thats the thing, some will always be left out, but if its always one timezone, one group will ALWAYS be left out. If they host it at different times, a wider variety of players get a chance. Also, do u think all the staff and devs are European?? you genuinely dont get the point of this thread at all and ur points are self centered - “im personally free so idc”

Same event time = same people left out everytime
Different event times = less people left out since rotation always continues

It would be more inclusive and fair to rotate event times across different time zones, as this would allow a larger portion of the playerbase to participate. Although Pika is a European server, a significant number of its active players are from Asia, with some from North America as well, making a single fixed event time less accommodating. Hosting events at varied times—such as one suited for Asian players and another for North American players—would ensure that no group is consistently disadvantaged due to time zone differences, ultimately leading to higher participation, better engagement, and a stronger, more connected community overall.

I do agree with this suggestion, and here's why:

1) Most players playing on this server should have a chance at playing in events, and it shouldn't be limited to a single time frame/limit.

2) Timings adjusted for Asian players would benefit the server, causing higher playtime and improves the availability for future events.

3) I agree that developers and staff members have the utmost importance, but it would be nice if the timings somewhat correlated to the different timezones.

To a point, there will be players always missing from events, but this is a matter of 'how much' or 'how less'. There would be more players playing the event if it was adjusted to a better time frame, rather than not having (or little) players playing the event.
