01
Why time zones are the key
Imagine an event takes place on September 24 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time. At 6:00 PM on Kiritimati, it is a completely different time in Europe or America. Later, when New York reaches 6:00 PM local time, the same local event window begins there.
The planner converts all of these local event times into your own time zone. You therefore do not have to calculate time differences yourself.
Important: the event time itself is not shifted. 6:00 PM remains 6:00 PM local time at every destination. What changes is the moment at which that local 6:00 PM occurs from your point of view.

From event to teleport schedule
Choose a prepared event or enter your own event manually with date, local start time and duration. Stored events are optional templates — manual planning is always available. The planner searches suitable worldwide sessions and orders them by the time at which they occur in your personal time zone.
The selected event date and start time are treated as local values at every destination. For example, September 24 at 6:00 PM means September 24 at 6:00 PM local time in each target time zone. Only the corresponding time and, where applicable, date in your own time zone can differ.
03
Fixed 120-minute cooldown
The route model applies a fixed 120-minute cooldown after the end of each planned event session. The sequence is therefore: event session ends → 120-minute cooldown → earliest possible start of the next session. A following session is only suggested when its start is at or after that earliest possible time. The planner can create a 12-hour or 24-hour route.
04
Real destinations instead of abstract zones
A route does not stop at labels such as UTC+5. It assigns a concrete city or Popular Place with coordinates to each suitable time zone. Where several places are available, you can choose a destination that better fits your plan.
05
Preferred Places
You can mark destinations as preferred. If several places are equivalent in time, preferred locations can influence which destination is selected without changing the actual time-zone calculation.
06
Your own time zone, including daylight saving time
The planner uses IANA time zones and the browser’s time-zone support. This matters because the difference between two regions is not necessarily constant throughout the year. Daylight saving time can begin or end on different dates, and some regions do not use it at all.
Instead of relying on a rule such as “New York is always six hours behind Germany”, the planner calculates the actual local times for the selected event date.
07
Useful during the event
The finished plan can be used as a live timetable. Sessions are marked as completed, currently running, next or later. A countdown and timeline make the current position in the route easy to see. Detail and compact views are available, and destinations, coordinates or the complete route can be copied or exported as a text file.

08
What the planner does — and what it does not know
The Event Teleport Planner is a planning tool. It calculates a schedule from the event data, time zones, selected destinations and the fixed cooldown model. It does not know your actual in-game position, your last action or whether an external game or service applies different restrictions. The generated route should therefore be understood as a planning aid based on the entered data.
09
Community Popular Places: more destinations to choose from
In the detailed route view, you can select from available Popular Places for a route timezone. Approved community suggestions add more concrete destinations and coordinates to existing route targets; they do not create new timezones or additional event sessions. Your chosen location is also reflected when you copy the teleport schedule.
A route target determines the event time; a Popular Place determines the exact destination within that timezone.
