Looking for Late Late Night (EST) Guild

I'm looking for a guild that has some members consistently active from 12am to 4am Eastern time. Kami or Neutral faction only with Burning Desert based a plus. I played from launch to shortly after patch 1 and recently reactived. All skills are over 50. Highest Combat is 2h at 80 and Highest Magic is Healing also at 80. Can craft Heavy Armor upto Q130 and all other crafts range from q70-q90. Desert Harvest is 150. Please mail Gargonix if you have people playing during this time period and are interested in having me in your guild.

What's that in British time? Five hours behind GMT? So... 5pm-9pm?
What are your interests/requirements besides kami/neutral? What're your RP position/stance/interest? Do you want to PvP or not? Etc.

No, Jyudas, that's am
Gargonix, you might like to try Veni Vidi Vici, they've antipodean players and are neutral.
And Syneris might like to turn forum PMs on so people could contact you here.

You sure? I got the second time wrong, should be 11pm but EST is five hours behind. 12am is midnight, so counting back... 7pm to 11pm (ish, not accounting for summertime) UK time. I got it completely wrong first time around coz I'm not feeling too good
Still, that'd fit us in the Samsara depending on what there is to Garg besides levels

'fraid not
12am(midnight) EST is 5am BST, whilst 4am EST is 9am BST, they are five hours behind us and so you need to 'add' 5 hours to get the correct BST.
They'll be playing in our post-dawn hours

Britain's about 5 hours AHEAD of EST, not behind it. I know this off the top of my head because, although I don't watch it anymore, I used to be an avid tennis fan, and watch every second of Wimbledon in the summers (back when I was still in high school and college and still had summers actually off). "Breakfast at Wimbledon" was what they used to call the Finals. Those are played at 2 PM Wimbledon time.... and were played at 9 AM EDT. Assuming the UK does daylight savings (I think they do), that means EST would be UK time minus 5. 11 PM EST would be 4 AM or so UK time.
To the OP: You need to find people who are on the west coast of the US or Canada. They're 3 hours behind you, so 11 PM to you would be 8 PM to them -- thus the start of "prime time" as it were. 3 or 4 AM may still be a touch late (4 AM your time = 1 AM pacific), but you should get most of your time covered. So, look for a guild that has lots of West Coast US/Canada players in it.

LOL, You made me pull out my dictionary on antipodean, Jamela! Thanks /bow
VeniVidiVici has a good mix of timezones Eastern and Pacific USA, with some folks in England, Sweden, and Australia. We have a fair few in Pacific timezone who would be around during those times. We are neutral which limits game play though, so check

Meh, don't mind me, brain-rot today with occasional fits of lucidity.

Sorry, yes eastern is -5GMT but we are in daylight savings time (so -4 now?). My main concern is being on at the same time as other members. I listed my levels to assist guilds in knowing if I'd fit into groups. Being in a guild with players that are mostly over 150 skill wouldn't benefit either of us much. You can probably tell that I like to craft and I spend a lot of time out harvesting. RP and PvP can be discussed but I don't know much about either (meaning lore for RP). I chose Kami or Neutral since i'm Fyros and have more experience with it. I suppose Karavan isn't completely out of the question, but you'd have to work with me in learning their ways. I've spent most my time in the Burning Desert, though I managed to visit all 4 capitols with my previous guild (which no longer existsl).

Both the US and Europe/UK have day light savings. Think of it like this:
The East coast of the US is always 5hrs behind the UK (GMT in winter, BST in summer) except for a couple of weeks in the year as the daylight savings kick in and drop out at different weekends. So East Coast is 5 hours behind the UK at every time of the year, except for 2 special weeks which are 4 or 6 hours behind.
