Sounds like a good idea…but most nights we can't get enough people together from the kin just to fill up one whole raid so I don't know how conceivable it would be unless you had about 4-5 PUG players each time.  Regardless I am central time so most nights I would be available for either time. An alternative would be to have all the West coast and East coast players move to the central and mountain time zones so there won't be a big time difference.  Come on, you know its worth it to play LOTRO!!!!!

Hey sorry I've been away for awhile. Things are getting hectic  with the house build.  One thing I thought I'd mention is that like others have said  we don't have enough players east coast or west coast individually to run 2 seperate raids.  Also many of our important east coast players can't run before 9:30 pm  eastern time anyways.   And most of our west coast players cannot begin before 5:30 Pm.  On the calander our start time is set for 6:00 Pm pst  so that our west coasters have time to get home from work.  This also happens to be around the time when most of our east coasters can begin playing.   At the moment  this is as a close as I could come up for a compromise to allow both east coasters and west coasters to rift together.  Unfortunatly it also is threading the needle quite litterally.  As we have noticed  if our west coasters are rushing to get home from work and on the comp they run the risk of being late.  And as the east coasters are allready playing later   they can't sit around and wait for an hour  becuase then they are up too late.   So we do have a conundrum here.    Untill we have more players available to run seperate rift runs or we can come up with a better game plan  I think we are kind of stuck making it work atm.   I do think that implementing a sign up and incentive for showing up on time tho could help quite a bit.
