Anyone else just wish the public auctions finished at a different time occasionally?
For me 8pm EST is 1am UK time. It can be tricky to stay up that long to put on those last minute bids. I suspect it will be ever harder for other Europeans for whom it must be 2/3am?
I don't expect it to change - I am just whingeing. :(

Auctions end at noon for me at the moment :)
Edit:
Should mention I'm in Victoria Australia

Dinascar · Nov 19, 2017 4:29 PM

Much more civilised. Of course now I've mentioned to everyone I am having trouble keeping awake I will lose those horses I am bidding on :D

DivineDreams · Nov 19, 2017 4:36 PM

I am so sorry @Dinascar! That must be very difficult. I live in Ontario Canada, so 8pm EST is my time zone!

ZefSoFresStables · Nov 19, 2017 4:37 PM

In Philly pa USA, so its 8pm for me too.

ZefSoFresStables · Nov 19, 2017 4:38 PM

Hovering and waiting lol

Dinascar · Nov 19, 2017 4:39 PM

Occasionally I just stay up anyway. Other half just looks at me like I'm mad ;) He may be right :P

Currently in Idaho (For college) where auctions end at 6PM. At home (Washington) they end at 5. Not bad at all, though I always make mess ups when judging when to get onto the auction whenever I switch.

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Nov 19, 2017 5:02 PM

It's at 6 in Arizona. When it's at 5 for me it's awesome! Then rollover is at 9 so I can stay up that much for RSs and stuff. And it would remind me when the game closed that I need to go to bed. Now it's at 10. (Which now normally I stay up that much anyway)

Dinascar · Nov 19, 2017 5:03 PM

That'll teach me to stay up - didn't get any of the horses I bid on anyway :(

Dinascar · Nov 19, 2017 5:04 PM

Off to bed....

ParadisePark · Nov 19, 2017 5:29 PM

Oh no :(
Had family friends visited so missed it by 8 minutes!

What horses were you after?
Breeding stock? What colour or size?
Or show ponies?
I can send you a few ponies :D

BlueJumpingBean · Nov 19, 2017 5:39 PM

I'm with Wildland here in WA. I personally was looking for show pons.I got one out of the many I bid on.That keeps my costs down at least! :))

Painted Dreams · Nov 19, 2017 5:41 PM

I'm not too off. I am an hour later than the game time. I am in Texas.

Waldgraf · Nov 19, 2017 6:27 PM

Another Washingtonian, so it ends at 5:00 for me as well!

Foxx · Nov 19, 2017 6:32 PM

Game time is right on with my time lol

jezmynespice1 · Nov 19, 2017 6:58 PM

It's 7pm here in Southern California

Haltanny · Nov 19, 2017 6:59 PM

I'm in central U.S. time, so 8pm est time is 7pm for me.

KaschStables · Nov 19, 2017 7:04 PM

I'm in the same boat as Haltanny. Central time!

Hyborian · Nov 19, 2017 11:53 PM

Another UK player here, I only get horses from the auction that nobody else wants. Even if I put a high bid on, someone will bid a few HBS higher. We also have to get up early, so staying up til 1 am is not an option. I-)

Dinascar · Nov 20, 2017 2:26 AM

Tricky sometimes but I'm ok. I was trying for some of darkstar's beautiful satin mares. I do have a couple of stallions but they are higher gen than my mares. Never mind though I will work up :) I am not so whingey today!

Dinascar · Nov 20, 2017 2:27 AM

@Paradisepark - I'm ok but thanks so much for the offer.

GoldenShoe · Nov 20, 2017 3:45 AM

Im central time USA so the auctions end at 7pm for me :) Unfortunately they start at 5am so I can't get in any last minute entries :))

pinestables · Nov 20, 2017 12:02 PM

Greetings from Poland! My time zone is Central European Time. So when I get up at 6 AM the game is under the daily midnight rollover.

Auctions end at 2 AM for me, it's actually kind of annoying as I never stay THAT late at night and I have to wait for the next day to put my horses up for the next auction :(

When I'm writing this post it's several minutes after 9 PM :)

Dinascar · Nov 20, 2017 1:13 PM

Yeah Poland must be even worse timewise - sorry @pinestables. We really are a bit of mix :)

Hyborian · Nov 23, 2017 5:09 PM

So I stayed up late and still came away empty handed, and now I'm completely exhausted.
And I have to be up in five hours. No more auctions for me....

NorthernStars · Nov 23, 2017 6:16 PM

I'm in the UK too, I was also bidding on one of darkstars satin mares and it got to 10 to 1 in the morning and I fell asleep and lost the mare I was bidding on, most of the time the time isn't an issue as I have insomnia and can't sleep most nights.
For example I posted this comment at 2.15am
