Since I live in Australia, take AU and the US as an example. Assume the two people work, and can't play whilst at work (since it would require a good 30mins - 1hour only focusing on the game). They also can't play whilst sleeping (usually). This leaves the roughly 6 hours after work and before bed, to be in battle. However, because of the time-zones, these two 6 hour periods never coincide, except over the weekend. And many people like to PPT over the weekend, to get away from the game, and enjoy themselves.
Great idea if people are within like 2 timeszones of each other. But I see the above mentioned problem when dealing with those not near your time zone.
