actually ToH (at least in the last 3 or so years i've been here) is oft times very suitable for asian times in the sense that it's usually late friday server time (early saturday asia) or throughout the day saturday server time (saturday night till early sunday asia) -> if you're a gamer and you care enough to ToH, this timeframe is very very reasonable. Sure there's the occasional 3 AM sunday TOH, but hey if you can't stay up late or wake up early for it, it just means you don't want it enough.

WOE, on the other hand, really excludes asians because you would have to sacrifice your fitness monday morning for it - a sacrifice that oft times is too hard for any school-going/working ppl. That is why at one point in time i did suggest saturday server time WOE (whatever time) because at least it will allow asians a fighting chance. Now i know that, if ever implemented, this will mean that there is a possibility TOH will be conducted sunday server time (thus restricting asian participation similar to how WOE currently is), but at least it's a once-a-month miss rather than a two-times-a-week miss.

On a side note, since ToHs nowadays have been cut in half (in terms of time required to participate), imo we could probably aim for a saturday afternoon (around 2-5 pm server time) WOE while still allowing for early (7-9 AM) or late (6 pm) saturday TOH. Asians who would like to participate in WOE would still have to make a sacrifice of staying up extra late saturday night (or waking up extra early sunday), but again at least they stand a fighting chance.
