Maximus Elanton Gallente	Posted - 2007.03.25 19:24:00 - [1] clocks went forward an hour last night here in Ireland, when does the clock on eve get updated???
Major Stormer Caldari Celestial Apocalypse Insurgency	Posted - 2007.03.25 19:24:00 - [2] It doesnt. It stays at GMT.
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2007.03.25 19:26:00 - [3] Originally by: Maximus Elanton clocks went forward an hour last night here in Ireland, when does the clock on eve get updated??? Eve runs to GMT (UTC actually I suspect but there's not much difference). So do all Internet servers. So do most desktop PCs actually. Only poor, easily confused, humans worry about time zones and daylight savings. -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] Please don't read this signature.

Lyzander Caldari BIG Advanced Assault Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.03.26 01:28:00 - [6] Edited by: Lyzander on 26/03/2007 01:33:14 Public Service Announcement: It's Daylight Saving Time. "Savings" is a relatively common mistake/misconception. As for the OP, I have no idea. Clocks here in Ontario were changed in accordance with the new timeline put forth, but I think as others stated it just says constant on GMT. EDIT: Double-checked, and apparently "daylight-savings" is an acceptable variant in some areas. "Saving" is the original and the only correct spelling in Canada to the best of my knowledge though.
Jex Jast Go for the booty	Posted - 2007.03.26 01:31:00 - [7] Honestly, the world's globally connected enough at this point. Can't we just set one global time and change our perception of night and day around it? It'd be so much easier than having to differentiate between time zones and some people using DST, others not... I don't think there are many, if any, societies that don't have a 24-hour time at this point. Europe basically invaded everywhere in the past... ----- :::Need to be cleaned::: Fixed it. Happy?

I already am starting to think in UTC... considering that 2/3 of the websites I go to use UTC and EVE does too, I more often see UTC than my time zone. Heck, I sometimes get confused when I accidentally set a time offset to my own time zone --23 Member-- EVE-Trance Radio--The EVE Textboard

I was actually thinking more on the lines of 24 hours in a day, which we do have. We're just odd and think that we should split it up into AM and PM... I actually developed an entirely new time system for the book I'm writing...it's, logically, all about multiples of ten! ----- :::Need to be cleaned::: Fixed it. Happy? Quite . -HornFrog

CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2007.03.26 15:29:00 - [12] The European Union has standardized the summertime, so we start and stop it at the same time. Iceland is not a member of the EU though and they don't use summertime.

Which I bet is the reason the FanFest is during the winter. If it were in the summer it would be practically impossible to attend without exposing yourself to daylight, and a significant number of us frail capsuleers suffer spontaneous combustion if exposed to natural light. *Mad Hermit - Minding our own business since 2004.*

Iceland is not a member of the EU though and they don't use summertime. But the cluster is in London so it should use BST You can still have your downtime at 11GMT if you want
Thommy	Posted - 2007.03.26 17:08:00 - [20] The reason of summer / winter time was to safe money originally (and probably still is). Because before people used to sleep while it allready was light and come back home when it was dark and therefore used energy while they could profit from the daylight instead. In our country it safes something arround 15 mil euro per year i believe. Eve server is based on global main time (GMT) which is a timezone that doesn't shift forward or backward on itself (only country specific get modified on their langitude on the global map like +1 for netherlands for example). Because of summer / winter time this means on standard time (wintertime) the clock is offset 1 hour from the clock on the eve servers, however in the summertime this is 2 hours because of Daylight saving. I myself also prefer to see that summer / wintertime stuff go away as it is only annoying but then factoring in it does help economy 15 mil a year it tends to be a good and wanted thing afterall. Asside over time more clocks are synced trough radio signals which means the clocks are adjusted automaticly (i figure some people still have to make a round trough the house to set all clocks to the correct time).

Lu'Pa Caldari	Posted - 2007.03.26 18:31:00 - [23] Originally by: Thommy global main time (GMT) which is a timezone that doesn't shift forward or backward on itself (only country specific get modified on their langitude on the global map like +1 for netherlands for example) Got everything right Thommy, except that GMT = Greenwith Mean Time. Fly safe.
Maam	Posted - 2007.03.26 18:39:00 - [24] Originally by: Lu'Pa Got everything right Thommy, except that GMT = Greenwith Mean Time. Heh, sooo close! As an aside, I get an immense sense of pride seeing the Greenwich observatory clock. This is it, back from Empire days, the time the whole world sets it's clocks by, and it hasn't been taken away from us and we haven't even had to apologise for it yet!

Ogul Caldari ZiTek Deepspace Explorations Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2007.03.26 19:12:00 - [27] Actually there seems to be a 2 minute difference between EVE time and UTC. Hamsters slowing down?
