Vistrix Ferocia	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:02:00 - [1] Edited by: Vistrix Ferocia on 08/07/2006 11:02:43 I live in the UK and the Eve clock is always wrong. It should be set to GMT right? the time is now 12:00GMT but the Eve Online clock is 11:00GMT. Whats up with that?
Cerys Magente	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:04:00 - [2] British Summertime, or Daylight Savings Time, is one hour ahead of GMT.
Tedeski	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:04:00 - [3] The UK is running at BST - British Summer Time. So we're an hour ahead of GMT. When the clocks go back later in the year we'll be in sync again.
mergblue	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:04:00 - [4] Daylight savings time.

Tomic	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:05:00 - [6] Yea, atm UK is on BST which is GMT+1, eve is always on GMT so in the summer it is wrong for UK residents.
HippoKing	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:05:00 - [7] We aren't running GMT in britain atm
Vistrix Ferocia	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:06:00 - [8] Edited by: Vistrix Ferocia on 08/07/2006 11:06:48 Ah...of course lol So Eve Online servers have Daylight Savings Time turned off? Thats not helping anyone. I assumed I could log on right now
Raem Civrie	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:07:00 - [9] EVE is Icelandic time, which is always just raw GMT (no daylight savings), not UK nerftime ---- My Omber is second to none
Drizit	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:19:00 - [10] Originally by: Hermia blame the farmers! The farmers have denied this, they say it's so the kids come home from school in daylight. The fact that most farmers are also local councillors is irrelevant though --

I assumed I could log on right now Its helping everyone who maybe isn't in Britain so they don't have to base their lives around the time we run on Not to mention that CCP (Icelandic) don't run on British time. Before anyone mentions that the servers are in Britain, I know, but they don't maintain themselves there

framolia	Posted - 2006.07.08 11:44:00 - [13] Get Tony Blair to get rid of BST!! I hate changing the clocks anyhow, so what it will be darker earlier in the summer months not as we get plenty of day light at night in winter also, no biggy is it.

You have any idea how much electricity is saved, really is a lot. I have no numbers for UK though... _________________________________________________

Thats not helping anyone. I assumed I could log on right now Welcome to the modern world. If you think about it a bit more you'll realise that it helps everyone. It means that everyone playing the game gets to see the same time and arranging meetings and events is just a matter of using game time. If the clock showed local time everyone would keep having to translate and convert depending where they all lived. Computers all around the world do the same thing. Even the computer you are using to read this message is running according to UTC/GMT. It's just that when it has to interact with you personally it knows how to pretend otherwise. If you want to know the local time get a clock. If you want to work in an international community you should learn to put aside your own peculiar local culture and preferences. -- (Battle hardened miner) [Brackley, UK] WARNING:This post may contain large doses of reality.
Woopie	Posted - 2006.07.08 12:25:00 - [19] Originally by: Wikipedia Iceland With Iceland observing UTC all year round despite being at a longitude which would indicate UTC-1, the country may be said to be on continuous DST. Polar or near-polar locations such as Iceland often opt out, as summer in these locations usually brings nearly uninterrupted daylight.
Baldour Ngarr	Posted - 2006.07.08 13:28:00 - [20] Originally by: Nee'kita Frist Originally by: madaluap You have any idea how much electricity is saved, really is a lot. I have no numbers for UK though... let us also not forget the more working hours we have. Both garbage. We have exactly the same amount of daylight, whether it's from 6am till 10pm, 5am till 9pm, or 1pm until silly o'clock. Moving the time zone around does NOT increase the amount of daylight. Stopping people from being goddam lazy and not getting up early enough, saves electricity. There's got to be a more efficient way of doing that than farting about with the clocks twice every year. Just get up at 6am instead of 8am, for crying out loud. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."

Viktor Fyretracker	Posted - 2006.07.08 14:08:00 - [22] Farmers dont need Daylight Savings anymore the combines/tractors have headlights and are GPS guided. i seriously saw this thing on historychannel once where the farmer said he was just there to keep an eye on things, the combine drove itself based on Satellites.

Traellium	Posted - 2006.07.08 14:19:00 - [24] Edited by: Traellium on 08/07/2006 14:18:47 Stack on top of all that the issues when north america changes the months in which daylight savings is going to be active (think it starts in spring of 2008), staying with plain old GMT works fine for me. If they also changed for daylight savings, but not also the extra month in spring and fall, there would be 4 times per year that the gmt time to ours is different, instead of twice like it is now. I think all mmorpg's should stay in GMT.
Maj Woodcock	Posted - 2006.07.08 14:55:00 - [25] Edited by: Maj Woodcock on 08/07/2006 14:56:01 TG I live in Arizona. No "day light savings" here. The last thing we need is more "day ligth". Just need to figure out what the rest of the country is doing. Some time we are the same time as Denver some times were are an hour behind. Where's my FACE!!

Novarei	Posted - 2006.07.08 15:03:00 - [26] bst should be abolished --------------------
Avon	Posted - 2006.07.08 15:12:00 - [27] Daylight savings would be more useful if you could save it until you really need it .. like at night, or on rainy days, or something. Never understood why the sun comes out in the day anyway - it would be better to come out at night to stop it being dark, daytime is light anyway.

Thats even more garbage Today i got up around 2 PM, THATS electricity saving: 1. no need for breakfast 2. no headache from last night 3. no need for electricity for dualscreen-PC (and other stuff offcourse) And people need 1 hour less electricity in the evening... _________________________________________________
