Enochx Kaine Cult of War University Cult of War 4	Posted - 2013.10.03 13:45:00 - [1] - Quote Can yall help me with my conversion real quick? I want to make sure I got this right. EST is 4 hours behind....right? So like if someone says "This event will take place at 12:00 eve time or ET," then that means it is 8:00 A.M. in EST....right?
Elena Thiesant Sun Micro Systems 637	Posted - 2013.10.03 13:59:00 - [2] - Quote Easiest way, when you're logged it look at the clock bottom left of the screen and compare it to your time, that gets you the time difference without any chance of someone telling you wrong. EVE time = GMT.
Velicitia Emergent Avionics 1626	Posted - 2013.10.03 14:18:00 - [3] - Quote For the moment, you're right Enochx. In a few weeks (I think the weekend of 2/3 November), the US will go to Standard Time (fall back an hour, so EDT/GMT -4 becomes EST/GMT -5). So your 1200 ET op will be at 0700 EST. It's easier to just keep things to "Eve Time" (ET) when you're talking amongst your corpies/friends in game. Also, while you're on EVE-Gate, current ET is in the upper right corner just below the search box. One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
Tau Cabalander Retirement Retreat Working Stiffs 2120	Posted - 2013.10.03 14:38:00 - [4] - Quote In Windows 8 (other versions are similar): 1. Click on the time at the bottom right. 2. Click on "Change date and time settings..." 3. Click on the tab "Additional Clocks". 4. Check the box "Show this clock". 5. Set "Select time zone:" to "(UTC) Coordinated Universal Time". 6. Set "Enter display name:" to "EVE" 7. Click "OK". To see EVE time, click on the time at the bottom right. Two clock faces appear now, one with EVE time. True GMT is an oddity in that it isn't defined for sub-second resolution, and it doesn't honour leap seconds, but nearly every implementation that uses GMT ignores those facts. Eastern Standard Time: UTC - 5 Eastern Daylight Time: UTC - 4
Enochx Kaine Cult of War University Cult of War 4	Posted - 2013.10.03 15:12:00 - [5] - Quote Nice. Thanks to all who responded. You know I gotta say.....as far as forums go, this community is by far the most helpful I have ever come across in all of my MMO/forum trollings. Appreciate it once again.

Never, ever, ever leave the "EVE New Citizens Q&A" forum. Ever. Hey CCP, please slush my fund like you did for SOMER Blink.

Also, while you're on EVE-Gate, current ET is in the upper right corner just below the search box. unless you live in a State that doesn't run off of daylight savings time then you gain an hour because every one else rolls back while you stay the same. Life is much easier this way. but yes, eve runs off of GMT zulu Are there any states on the east coast that do this?

In fact the only state I know of that doesn't do the daylight savings time is Arizona. I am sure there are others....but that's the only one I know of.

J'Poll Second Battlegroup Nerfed Alliance Go Away 2373	Posted - 2013.10.03 18:02:00 - [11] - Quote No offense and Im happy you have been helped. But you NEVER thought about the idea of launching EVE, looking at the in game time which is always displayed and grabbing a watch/cell phone/wall clock/what ever that displays local time and compare them and do some basic math. Want to have some chat in game? Need help to get into the game as a new player? Just join my channel: Crazy Dutch Guy
Gizznitt Malikite Agony Unleashed Agony Empire 2666	Posted - 2013.10.03 18:06:00 - [12] - Quote EvE Mon also displays the current time in "EvE"
Kyseth Touring New Eden 1698	Posted - 2013.10.03 20:29:00 - [13] - Quote In game browser. Google "time now" , "world clock" ,"time gmt', etc etc...

This did not occur to me. I am afraid even the saying "hindsight is 20/20" doesn't even help me here. I WISH it had occured.
Septium Stern Unun Tribal Liberation Force Minmatar Republic 1	Posted - 2013.10.04 02:06:00 - [15] - Quote I personally use this: http://www.eveinfo.net/complexes/inde~246.htm Bah, broken link, just copy-paste that into your browser bar, should come up with a time conversion for EST at any point in the day.
Mara Rinn Cosmic Goo Convertor Cosmic Consortium 4154	Posted - 2013.10.04 02:12:00 - [16] - Quote Another tool I use is my desktop calendar (on my Mac, that is Apple's Calendar app), set an appointment for 12:00UTC and see where it pops up. In a perfect world I would be able to subscribe to various EVE calendars from Calendar, and there would be no need for this constant to-and-fro :) Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players

Mia Restolo Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 124	Posted - 2013.10.04 15:47:00 - [20] - Quote I usually check eve time through EveMon (bottom left corner)... never gotten the hang of changing the conversion due to DST.
