Different start times
I'm pretty sure the event starts at the same time across multiple channels. It's just that the servers managing some of the channels fall behind or get ahead of the other servers, which causes it to seem to start at different times. Just check the clock after you CC and see if it's within 10-20 mins of the channel you just left. Like on Ruairi, ch 4 was lagging about 2 hours behind ch 6 in-game a maintenance ago.. and there was that time where ch 2 was a whole 16 mins behind the other 6 channels (infinite mana tunnel lol)
That would make sense if Mabi's servers modeled Erinn time off of a mapping between real-world time and time of day/date in-game, but I don't think that's the case... it seems more likely that the clock position is calculated when the server's initialized and then incremented at a constant rate, which both explains why desynchronization occurs and why the amount of it varies across servers (whose individual loads fluctuate during the day)
Just my $.02
Edit: okay, yeah, now they're noticeably spaced apart. Lost early on on ch T-06 and had enough time to get to the T-02 quiz field before it started there. I guess the servers' timefail will continue to be a mystery.
