Today, a Thursday, I flipped open my laptop and connected to the server at exactly 7:30 PST (local time). I just had dinner, I'm all settled in after a long day, and ready to kick back by the fireplace and play a few rounds. QAW Original maps is a ghost town. Not a single other person connected.
So that made me curious to know what a poll would tell us about how many people are from what time zone.
I'll add that it is a bummer, because I'll get home from work around 6-7 and completely miss the rush. But I also understand that my 7 o'clock is some people's 10 o'clock or midnight or whatever. However there are times like today, where it's a little baffling to find nary a soul on the server at not-so-late an hour.
So let's see what time zones the majority of QAW players are from, for scientific purposes.

Eastern here ... I think it just depends on the particular day, some days I'm surprised there's nobody playing, other times I'm surprised at the amount of people playing at a time I consider late in the evening. I think it also helps if there's even just a handful of people at the server ... encourages more people to join vs an empty server which I imagine elicits a feeling of 'oh well nobody wants to play tonight', even if there are a bunch of people around just waiting for that first brave soul to join

Eastern for me as well.
Jesus, I have seen the same situation a lot, especially during the week. Matter of fact the server was loaded last night when I quit. I checked back around 10:00 est and was shocked nobody was on. Unfortunately, I guess everyone was on for just a few before they had to go. Weekends should be good for "extended" time play since work the next day is not an issue for most.

Time zones are complicated. I'll just say that during the week, when everyone is starting to join the server, I have energy just for 2 or 3 maps. Weekends, well, those I don't remember clearly :x

Central America here. My time zone depends on you freaks who keep changing it during the year. Right now it's Central time, when it changes we are on Mountain time. Seriously, stop changing time! It's not that difficult!!
