sorry don't know, BUT I'd suggest granting all your levels and what not the day before. I've heard it ended a day early for some people.
That would screw me badly because I'm desperately trying to finish a new team, just hit 52 and am furiously trying to get to 60. And then I have to get 12 to 31 on the two dudes to be RAF granted levels. Fortunately Strath is a lot better boosting than I thought it would be and its moving very quickly. I'm such a bad procrastinator.Quote:

It ends the day you started RAF(In GMT not server time) So be careful
So if it shows 11-10 do I actually have until midnight GMT on 11-10 or until midnight on 11-9?Quote:

It's listed in GMT on the account administration page -- for all realistic purposes, it ends on the exact 90 days hour/minute/second that you signed up.Quote:

If you don't know what time you signed up, call Billing or start a thread to ask on the official forums CSF. The account admin page, being both void of either timezone, hour, minute, or second, is unreliable.
Ahh thanks Vyndree. Account creation for the drones was 8/11 6pm. Which I guess would be 1pm EST on Monday for 90 days.
Remember its GMT not EST
Well hopefully it doesn't end a day early and end tomorrow. Too tired to do anymore but I did hit 55 on the newest team.
Grant all levels before the final day. The RAF if anything will end GMT time, but please grant the levels beforehand, so many others had lost the chance.
And, if you can, post about any confusion you've found on this thread: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...65205038&sid=1
You may not have to deal with the same issues as some of the others, but you should mention the amount of hoops you had to jump through thanks to the ambiguous time on the account admin page.
End of RAF checklist & when exactly does it end ?
has some info
Your wose case scenario is if you started your RAF shortly after "midgnight gmt" and that you are say in hawaii or pdt (like me, so around 4pm) then your account page will show "Until 11/10" but it really means it stops at about 4pm 11/9 !
If on the referee you click details it shows when the account was created (though I can't remember in which timezone; I think that one is pacific time; which is nicely inconsistant) that will give you the time; but you need to substract 1h because of daylight savings
Basically I think blizz greatly dropped the ball by having a benefit ending abruptly without any clear notice; and because of server instability lately they should throw us a bone and add a few days after it stopped so you can grant levels... but it doesn't look like it's happening (too small number of ppl affected so far ?)
Well RAF is still working at 8:50 GMT on 11/9. Accounts were created at 6:06PM GMT, this leads me to believe I should have until tomorrow since i'm almost 3 hours past the time. Toons are 59 now and I just need to boost from 12 to 31.9 on the two grantees. I should be good to go to finish up even with a kara run shortly. Not knowing for sure really was a pain in the butt.
Hrm, Blizzard really should have a better mechanism for letting you know when this ends. I passed the account creation time by 3+ hours and it was still working and then I went to finish 59 to 60 and it was over. 1 level really isn't a big deal but They should have a timer or something for this. With 10 level 60's and 4 level 59's I did take decent advantage of the RAF though.
That account creation time is all over the place too. Myself and someone else in the thread you linked both checked the times vs the email times and the timezone and creation time were different on the two accounts. They were NOT GMT that is for sure.Quote:

The CS team is going to get more and more complaints and questions about this until they fix it. The more vocal we are now the more likely we are to save other people from our headache.

I agree with you on point two up there. I suggested that they email both accounts and send an in game mail to all toons on each account with exactly when the link will end. One week before it ends. Hmm maybe I should update my suggestion, i just though it would be great to send an email when the link is created with the exact end time as well.
My advice is to call billing and get a firm end date if you are running out of time and trying to squeeze as much as you can out of your RAF time.
