For us it was 7pm server time, which is from 9pm to 4pm local time, with
a bit more variation for states from north to south having daylight
savings or not.
I had the one I was going to experience it on parked in stormwind, Blizz
had position Katgars?? in major cities after eu.
I flew one of the second rank chars to Blasted lands to take some
snaps, lag wasn't all that bad.
Parked in the portal and looked back, a huge blur of blue on the ground.
someone else was taking pics and suggested everyone mount and spread
out. Frame rate just died as the skies just FILLED with flying mounts
and I don't think that was even a major fraction given the blue halo on
the ground :-) That scene on the other side of the portal with the orc
armies approaching? NOTHING :-)
So I was down in the mob, taking a picture from a distant camera down
on the empty zone around the NPC at 6:50pm
and the quest popped up!
Oh what the heck? click...and the second undergeared wave went in first.
It was a cakewalk until the pre-garrison lagfest, so just repeated the
working parts on the planned flag carrier. Then another, by then it was
thinning enough to actually interact with the NPCs and tree flags.
Fewer people popping trains as well.
