So, it's no secret that European and US timezones tend to get more of the short/spontaneous events. I am going to try and run some more primetime events for our players in Australia and Eastern Asia. For now I am going to start with
4 5 hour events starting at
0800 0700 UTC. Hopefully this will give most players in that area of the world a chance to participate.
Here is a comparison of the start times in each of the targeted time zones:
I will update this post in a bit with some specific event timers. If anyone has some requests or suggestions, please post below.

this'll work well for majority of us, for people in NZ it might push a little bit "late" but they absolutely have the option to attend now instead of it being at like 5am their time.
if the main focus is to accommodate for these time zones maybe push it to 0700 utc? it'll mean areas like Perth get 3pm-7pm and places like NZ get 8pm-12pm
so it's neither too late or too early for all the time zones you have suggested.

My thoughts were to give UTC+8 enough time to get home from work and still participate. I will just make them all 5 Hour events that run from 0700 UTC to 1200 UTC. So 3-8pm for Perth and 8pm-1am for NZ. I think this time range should work well when Daylight time is over too. NZ and Eastern Australia shift back an hour from what I understand.
Updated the start timers!
