Pugilismus Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 1	Posted - 2014.12.05 09:59:16 - [1] - Quote Am I the only one (I hear now the chorus of YES!) who is forced to do a double-take when looking at dates in the launcher and elsewhere because CCP insists on using US-format dates (mmddyy) when the rest of the world uses ddmmyy? It's not a huge deal but it is a bit annoying - CCP, can you please start to use the worldwide standard for dates? It's more logical too!

When you say European English you mean British English. oh and I'll just leave this here for ya. 13th of Kislev, 5775 Well, after the Brits invaded and occupied Iceland back in 1940, it's more polite to use "European" rather than "British". Even though the Icelandic Coast Guard has beaten the Royal Navy three times since.

Obligaroty http://xkcd.com/1179/ /c I've always been partial to writing the date inside the silhouette of a hissing cat.

CCP Avalon C C P C C P Alliance 88	Posted - 2014.12.06 04:26:16 - [21] - Quote Just squeezing in edge wise here. In September I received a complaint from a player regarding inconsistency in date formats on our websites. Since then some of our pages have been updated to use the ISO8601 standard, but hunting down rogue dates stamps is not among our highest priorities. Any new pages that may rise from our development should have the aforementioned standard of dates, while other sites may be mended over time. Long live yyyy-mm-dd.

I fully endorse your choice for date standardization. Coincidentally, it's the same one I use for all my internet needs, not just in this game of spaceships. I never understood the idea of swapping the month and day anyway. I mean, when's the last time anyone wrote the time as HH:SS:MM? Wait, we can't stop here, this is Bat Country -Nulli
Serene Repose 1711	Posted - 2014.12.06 10:50:23 - [24] - Quote Oh, sorry. I thought it said "Date Floor Mats" My bad! NVM. Gankers are sociopaths who would rather use their time-in-place advantage to jump and one-shot a noob than fight straight-up someone who poses a challenge to them. If you need to call a ganker a "person," have at it. He is what he is.

We try to be consistent and use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 for dates and times. This is, e.g., what the EVE Forums use. In a few places we use that standard but with . (dot) as the delimiter, e.g., in the EVE Client and EVE Gate. The EVE Launcher, unfortunately, uses neither of those standards/conventions. Erlendur S.
