Maybe we don't want? Because it's easier to make appointments in EVE if we all talk about the same time? Just learn how to add/subtract.
PS: Of course, it could be done as a client option for players without friends. |

Then how will you coordinate with people in different countries. Do you want to always be saying '7 PM CST" and doing conversions in your head about when people mean when they say 7 PM? It'd basically be impossible to run an international organization, such as your average corp.
I think if you had local time you'd quickly be asking for universal time. |

I have a clock on my wall. And on my phone. And on my computer.
Of course, time is merely an abstract concept with no real meaning, you know that right? A good predator knows how to live in balance with his prey, lest he follow them into oblivion. |

I have managed to go to bed an hour later than intended quite a few times due to the Eve clock being GMT and not BST! Local time would make more sense, or allowing the user to choose. |

Or you could, you know, just click on the clock to switch back to UTC. Or some other very simple method to let one glance at their local time if they want to without inconveniencing the rest of the players one bit.
Sure, there are plenty of other ways to keep track of "your" time, but the lack of a local clock in the client is actually pretty weak. |

But I live in GMT -6...how am I supposed to know how many zones away from GMT that is? I say nerf all clocks...they are to OP and hard to use...

Please for the love of EVE no. The unified time zone is one of the best things in EVE.
No, not even a toggle. I don't want to have to instruct every person joining my corp to turn it back to a normal time, and then have them STILL turn it back and miss ops. It would be a chaos. |

For us Englishers, it IS our local time for half of the year, and is one hour off for the other half. But as a little featurette, I would like it to optionally show local time! |

I dunno about you guys but i learned how to tell the time in primary school (that was done between the ages of 2 and 10) though im fairly sure i had a firm grasp of how to tell the time by the time i was 4 or 5.
My advice to the OP would be to go back to school.

Here's some solutions for you in decreasing order of mental taxation:
Solution 1 1. Figure out what time zone you live in, remember the time difference from UTC/GMT 2. Read the EVE Clock (helpful hint: EVE is UTC/GMT) 3. Do simple math (the stuff you learned in Elementary/Primary school) 4. ??? 5. PROFIT!!!
Solution 2 1. (While in EVE) Hit Escape 2. Graphics Settings 3. change from "Full Screen" to "Windowed" 4. ??? 5 PROFIT!!!
Solution 3 1. Look at a clock. 2. ??? 3. PROFIT!!! Pew Pew Pew! |

*nix computers use UTC internally but not Windows.
Linux: Internal BIOS clock is set to UTC, Xfce displays local time on the desktop.
Windows: Internal BIOS clock is set to local time, Windows displays local time on the desktop. At least that's how it worked when I ran Windows XP. W7 might be different, never used it. Please support: export of settings in editable format

Not the same, when I get tired of being connected I can walk away and there's nothing anyone can do to get my attention. Much like a landline, when I leave the house there's nothing anyone can do to get my attention. |

Back in my day in DAOC when we had to run uphill both ways to a raid and back we had to do all of the conversions ourselves. Each time I filled out a raid listing I would include all of states hours, Europe's hours, and Australia's hours and save the trouble for everyone else. These kids don't realize how good they have it when we can simply say 22:00 eve time and everyone can simply look at the current time and add a few hours up from there. If they want local time they can buy a damn clock I say. Hell, they can learn to tell time by the rotation of the sun for all I care. Their momma must be real proud at how helpless they've become that they can't even alt-tab to check the time. |

I used to want this when I first started. Now I just know to subtract 4 hours from Eve time, it's not that hard. Having different times on different clients would cause way more headaches then it would cure. Everyone having the same time on their clock makes it much easier to schedule group activities. I like alliance mails only having one time listed, it would be quite bothersome to see 10 different time zones listed in every mail. |

That the customer is so lazy he can't look at his watch/cell phone/wall clock/desktop is more insulting (to the customer) than a dev responding with a (subtly) on-topic joke.
Besides, someone needs to fill in for Punkturis and troll the forums while she's on vacation... |

Whats confusing about it? GMT is 7 hours ahead of me. My current time of 11 am +7 hours means that it is currently 6pm eve time. I mean that is like kindergarten level math right there. |

As other people have politely pointed out, you should really only need to work out the relation between your local time and EVE time once. For instance, a player in New York would be 5 hours behind EVE time, thus if it is 6:22pm in EVE, in New York it would be 1:22pm.
Aside from any summertime changes, that player will always be 5 hours behind, so taking 5 away from whatever the EVE time is should not be that difficult. Numbers of terminally stupid people seem to be on the increase, I suggest we have a real life Stupidageddon to rectify this issue. |

To what end? It cannot be hard to add or subtract hours from the in game to local time in your head. Heck, I'm a total Muppet when it comes to numbers and even I can convert local time in the UK to multiple other time zone's in my head whilst performing other tasks in game. If the OP is west of GMT he subtracts a few hours, if East he adds a few hours. Really, how hard is that?

I suspect EVE's use of 24-hour time (best time) might also have something to do with it. Apparently people just can't do modulo math. :( |

If you really think so, but my experience on the customer support side of the software industry involving this very type of feature tells me otherwise.
Everything is simple to muggles outside of the software industry - it's magic to them afterall, why can't you just do *anything* everyone asks for with a "few lines of code" when the reality is often the opposite and a huge PITB behind the curtain.

4-Acetoxy-DMT is an uncommon synthetic psychedelic. Its effects and duration are similar to those of psilocybin/psilocin. It is probably metabolically converted into psilocin in the body, but there are also reasons to believe that 4-acetoxy-DMT might itself be active in the brain, producing effects that are distinct from psilocin.
EFFECTS LIST
POSITIVE
brightened colors / enhanced visual perception introspection and philosophical insights increased giggling and laughing pleasant body buzz / warmth / tingling rushing / stimulation (mental and physical) deep feeling of inner peace / sense of rapture feeling sleepy or dreamy mood lift, euphoria perception of cognitive enhancement feelings of empathy enhanced tactile sensation sexual arousal
NEUTRAL
general change in consciousness (as with most psychoactives) pupil dilation minor to strong closed- and open-eyed visuals auditory hallucinations/sound distortion confusion and/or scrambled thoughts distorted sense of time lethargy, fatigue ego softening/loss disorientation synesthesia experiencing a dreamlike reality decrease in emotions
NEGATIVE
(likelihood of negative side effects increases with higher doses) anxiety / fear difficulty speaking motor impairment stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, gas intense or overwhelming visual disturbances overwhelming thoughts and ideas disturbing hallucinations/mental visions paranoia / insecure feelings sweating / chills / flushing (severe) uncomfortable stimulation (mental and physical) sleeplessness (significantly) elevated heart rate muscle fatigue/pain/aching (severe) mental confusion

if it confuses you just go to www.whattimeisit.com and you can see a wide range of times including GMT/UTC as well as your own region.
btw, all computers run on UTC, yours does to, but you have an offset programmed in when you first set your timezone so it displays what you want to see. "You were the chosen one Anakin, you were supposed to bring order to the galaxy, not destroy it!" -Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi -á |

At least we all use the same time zone.
Not only is the US split into multiple time zones, each state has the option of using daylight savings time or not.
And not every country does daylight saving time. Iceland, for example, doesn't. Probably something to do with the fact the sun rises at 03:10 and sets at 23:52 this time of year. Without really getting dark in between.

But in all seriousness, why wouldn't you want the client to display "eve time?" what if you're in an alliance with people all over the world. You'd end up planning things at GMT anyway, and no one would be able to look at the clock and see "oh that's 5 hours from now"
Or in my special case, it's usually "oh, that was an hour ago. Whoops" |

Problem with making EVE show local time is that it becomes the issue for the CEO to convert times for others. Everybody knows their reference to GMT. I live in New Jersey, as such during summer I am GMT -4 I know an Op at 00:00 server is 8pm local.
Trust me this is superior than a CEO of FC in Los Angeles saying the fifth fleet deploys at 8pm and then wondering why half his fleet is not online and he has a pile of emails stating they had been on for ninety minutes waiting for him because half are in New York.
all problems in my example are fixed by saying it starts at 03:00 server. for before midnight times you subtract or ad your difference from GMT and if you use am/pm like we do in the US you then subtract 12 from any time that 13:00 or later. |

I honestly don't see why having local time in EVE would matter.
Everyone seeing EVE time means that when someone says 7pm, it's always 19:00 EVE time. When someone says 2am, it's always 02:00 EVE time. When someone says 15:00, its always 15:00 EVE time.
Having local time in the EVE client: "Dude, i thought the tower would come out of reinforced at 6 am?" "Yeah, that was 4 hours ago dumbass" "But it's 10 am now!"
"Hey, why is downtime at 9pm? The popup is saying it's at noon, why is it saying the servers will go down in an hour!!??"
You have numerous other clocks in your house that show you the local time. You will learn very quickly how to convert EVE time to local time. Showing local time only accomplishes making international cooperation more difficult - I don't know many corps where all members are in the same timezone.
Why exactly would it be better to show local time in the client? I haven't heard any arguments for that yet. |

It is already hard enough to get different time zones sorted out. Call a meeting and say eve time and everyone should be able to figure out which time it is for him or her.
Maybe we could cut all countries in small stripes and pin them in the same timezone... might get somewhat crowded if everyone is playing at the same time. Daylight saving? What is that. Yes we have something like MEST but the same time zone from spain to poland ... thats about 3 time zones.
TL;DR: srsly, it would be very hard for every other eve player except you sir. |

(Your OS displays the local time.) Is the time displayed by the client the actual server clock or the client's local clock converted to server's timezone? It's the TQ clock with an approx. -¦1 second accuracy (not guaranteed).
Did you hold the second hand on the 2012.06.30 for 6 seconds, like the other scientist in the Sol system, to enable the timekeepers of Sol to add a "leap second" to compensate for the wibbly-wobbly movements of the earth?
"The ever-so-brief halting of the second hand will compensate for a creeping divergence from solar time, meaning the period required for Earth to complete a day."
Do the planets in Eden have their own time zones as well? or I guess its a standard universe time. I guess, if your living on Jita planet 1, A day ie 1 revolution of the planet may only be 20 hours, but Jita planet 2 might be 36 hours....Might make trade and making meetings hard work.
As Dust is going to take place on planets, are the planets going to have night/day and are they going to have different length days? |

No matter what decision the DEVs make, they can't please everyone.
For myself, I hate Daylight savings time. Other countries get by just fine with summer/winter hours. Why do we have to fisk with the clocks when having different business hours would work just as well. Especially if the Government worked at a given set of hours, many other businesses would adjust accordingly.

The biggest best reason to use GMT is for the preplanning of military ops across many different timezones. When the players in your corp are from all over the world, you need one time to reference and that is EVE time. And if it changed to daylight savings time then it would bump one hour which again would be bad. Why because when does it shift one hour? At 2:00 AM right? But whoose 2:00 AM? It could not change at everybodys 2:00 AM becaue then it would be a cascading time and EVE time would be different and confusing as the time change took effect one time zone after another.
So GMT never changing time is always the best for ops planning purpose. Someone can say X happens at this date and time and it happens at that time everywhere in the entire world. At the same moment in time. Nobody has to try to figure out time shifts just look at the eve clock. You just have to be able to figure out when that time happens in your local time so you can log on to be part of the action. |

Unless you live in a windowless box while play Eve, rarely sleep and never go outside I fail to see how it could be confusing.
Person A: Oh I thought it was 4 in the afternoon not 11 in the evening!!!!!! Person B: Erm...look outside the window? |

The bulk of my corp functions in USA PST and Kiwi time. I'm USA EST and we have a handful of Euros. The game having a solid state is very orginizationaly friendly.
OP, this has been beaten into the thread with a gleeefullness that can only happen when the horse is dead but... Have you done anything in game with another player yet? |

1: Buy a watch. They're not expensive.
2: EvE time *IS* local time for me but even if it wasn't, it's easier to co-ordinate in-EvE stuff using in-EvE time. Otherwise you will need to have a list of timezone clocks up besides your market spreadsheets and damage type charts and range charts and all the other crap you may or may not have or use at any given time when doing stuff in EvE.
TL:DR - EvE is complicated enough, leave the clock the **** alone. |

Uh,.... for which of the 10.000 planets and for which coordinate on any of those?
Besides,.... Why would I bother with time ? I am a clone.... I am basically immortal ! Time is for the common people. Neque femina amissa pudicitia alia abnuerit.

Maybe we should petition CCP to release time dilation to whatever node controls planet earth? Then time could be locally modified so it was the same for all of us.

This, indeed, is asking for dumbing down the game.
