Hello,
I am an European Player and I have to say that starting STB at 9 PM PST is a little bit sick. It is 6/7AM on Sunday. How many European people do you think will be able to participate, hmm? It suppose to be Global Server, so please adjust the hour to all the world. Even the hour of Server opening, 5PM PST would be much better, it is 2AM in my country, so there is much higher chance for me to take my part in it.
In the current state of the game TSB is the most fun and interactive part, please do not take that from me and my European fellow players.
