Ogul ZiTek Deepspace Explorations Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2008.03.30 20:26:00 - [31] Edited by: Ogul on 30/03/2008 20:26:03 Originally by: Sanfrey Statolomy Would this be because Iceland has no summer! :) If you have 24 hours of daylight per day rising one hour earlier just doesn't make sense. --- Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes.
Lardarz B'stard Dark Knights of Deneb Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2008.03.30 20:41:00 - [32] Do we really have to go through this rigmarole every year? Originally by: Kindakrof there is no gravity in space
Glassback	Posted - 2008.03.30 20:52:00 - [33] Originally by: Lardarz B'stard Do we really have to go through this rigmarole every year? Yes, along with the "You know you've played too much Eve when" thread. G. LinkedIn Please visit your user settings to re-enable images.

CCP Explorer C C P	Posted - 2008.03.30 21:04:00 - [34] Originally by: Lardarz B'stard Do we really have to go through this rigmarole every year? Yes, and evidently at least four times a year is the required minimum; when the US/Canada switches to summer time in early March and when Europe switches in late March and then we repeat in the fall. Then there are smaller periods of confusion, such as when Australia and New Zealand move to winter time in early April. Why can't you all just not mess with the clock? /me goes into a corner and cries Erlendur S. Thorsteinsson Software Director EVE Online, CCP Games

Vriomiunx Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2008.03.30 21:18:00 - [35] Edited by: Vriomiunx on 30/03/2008 21:20:01 Edited by: Vriomiunx on 30/03/2008 21:18:26 Will it not be easier just to say the time is in UTC, which is rather common to say nowadays, just to fix this confusion? Everyone knows that UTC don't have summer and winter time (but is the same all the time), but obviously not everyone know that GMT doesn't either. edit: “Since the difference between UTC and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) never exceeds 0.9 second, for many purposes the difference can be ignored.” Sauce
Vladimir Ilych Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2008.03.30 21:22:00 - [36] Originally by: True 1 as any citizens of mah Hemisphere are likely to know, clocks went forwards by 1 hour this morning @ 4am, it is now 12:45, whereas in eve, it says 11:45, is this just "how it is" and will be corrected when we go back an hour, or will eve time be put forward soon? Only reason i noticed, is that igoogle gadget told me i had 3 mins left on a skill.. but buh, its an hour and 3 mins Not important, not a particularly necessary thread, just something i've not previously noticed. im also now very confused as to when our wardec goes live O.o, so actually, maybe it would be pretty cool to get some sort of answer, y'know if you have the time I look forward to this thread each year / six months. Thanks for not letting me down. If it helps just think of it as Zulu time. Zulu is GMT as well, but it is the time they use on subs cut off from the outside world. So sort of the same thing.

I love this thread as well. I like to think of Eve Time as Eve Time, that way I am never confused.

My boss does give me hard stares though, for being late for work 6 months of the year. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking?
Shionoya Risa The Xenodus Initiative. Overclockers Podpilot Services	Posted - 2008.03.30 22:20:00 - [42] Originally by: CCP Atropos As several people gave already said, Iceland has no summer daylight savings clock shift. As a result, EVE stays on GMT, since that provides a consistent time for us to access and maintain the server all year round. That's pretty bad ass, makes me want to move there even more... Damn you! ----- Quote: Argh! Natural light, get it off me! Get it off me!

My boss does give me hard stares though, for being late for work 6 months of the year. Well, you could go for the alternative: being an hour early for 6 months of the year Skills Explained
Tellenta White-Noise	Posted - 2008.03.30 22:35:00 - [44] I'm pretty sure you are now GDT, which is an hour ahead of GMT. how however your acronyms work when jumping forward an hour. GMT does not change.
SoftRevolution Complicity.	Posted - 2008.03.30 22:37:00 - [45] We're on BST. Bloody foreigners. This is precisely why the server is on GMT I expect, to avoid confusion. EVE RELATED CONTENT

The confusion caused by having the time change early probably thwarted someone on this side of the pond from making an ass of themselves about time changes.
Zathi Shaitan	Posted - 2008.03.30 23:27:00 - [47] Originally by: Icycle This happens EVERY year by at least one person, usually ignorant British people who think they know right. (Yes im British) Britain is not on GMT for the next few months. Its on BST (GMT +1). The most ignorant British are the ones who think only Britain is on your timezone. Look at a map and try to draw a vertical line, tbh. ---- " Several unconventional alliances where made at that point " - Hey CCP, "where" != "were".. you too, Brutus? http://loseloose.com/

As a result, EVE stays on GMT, since that provides a consistent time for us to access and maintain the server all year round. Would this be because Iceland has no summer! :) Actually, no, there's usually like two weeks in August where there's a twenty degree heatwave.

Grimpak	Posted - 2008.03.31 10:14:00 - [49] Originally by: CCP Greyscale Actually, no, there's usually like two weeks in August where there's a twenty degree heatwave. only in icyland to consider the primaveral 20¦C, a "heatwave". do us a favor, if you icylanders ever come to portugal in the summer, do bring lots of ice and sunscreen. and maybe a portable igloo or iceberg or smth. you will need it. --- Please visit your user settings to re-enable images.

(Yes im British) Britain is not on GMT for the next few months. Its on BST (GMT +1). The most ignorant British are the ones who think only Britain is on your timezone. Look at a map and try to draw a vertical line, tbh. Draw a vertical line from greenwhich and draw 2 more at 7.5 degrees on either side. That's the GMT timezone. Even though countries can decide wether their keep that timezone or not. There's little a sledgehammer can't fix. If you can't fix it, you need a bigger sledgehammer. If it's unfixable, blame CCP. :p
F'nog Celestial Horizon Corp. Valainaloce	Posted - 2008.03.31 10:56:00 - [52] I'm gonna have to come back after I've slept on it, but isn't this whole thread proof of Sephra Star's "proof" of the NWO? Daylight savings time is a tool of the Powers That Be to twist our thoughts towards their dark designs. Or, maybe I've just sat (or is it "sitten"?) through too many of these sorts of posts after nearly 5 years? I'll get back to y'all in the morning. Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari F'nog for Amarr Emperor. Nuff said
Deverian Tarik	Posted - 2008.03.31 11:17:00 - [53] Doh. I just tried to log on to eve, seeing as it was 12:00, and DT finishes. Of course, in all actuality it is only 11:00 GMT and DT has only just begun. Ah well, looks like it'll be forums for an hour till DT is over.
Lucia Warbler	Posted - 2008.03.31 11:17:00 - [54] Originally by: Madscotsman Sounds a lot like Scotland :D Seriously? Is Scotland that cold or just parts of it?
Kagura Nikon Infinity Enterprises Odyssey.	Posted - 2008.03.31 12:19:00 - [55] Originally by: BBQ Originally by: Gieron Wikipedia says: CEST Give me a few minutes to edit it, will be back in a bit.... Never trust Wiki as anyone can edit it. and that is the reason exaclty why it shoudl be thrusted. Because it can be edited and made correct, by anyone. Books on other hand are always stuck in the lies the single author want you to beleive and are wrapped inisde a selected package of simple truths to make you beleive on him more easily. ------------------------------------------------- If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough
Lord Fitz Antares Fleet Yards SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.31 12:20:00 - [56] Eve is always GMT :) Which is good because each player only has to keep track of when their clock changes (if it changes). And everyone else is just oblivious. There would be nothing like someone keeping track of 4 different dates (when the server changed on/off and when they changed on/off summer time).
Lord Fitz Antares Fleet Yards SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.31 12:23:00 - [57] Originally by: Kagura Nikon Because it can be edited and made correct, by anyone. Books on other hand are always stuck in the lies the single author At least a book that is wrong is consistently wrong. Generally for facts like this they would be checked by more than a single author also, but of course books go out of date. So infact the best resource is a website maintained and checked by the people who make the changes to the reality, so the written facts match the reality. Rather than by someone who puts their observed reality up as fact.

Assmodean 23rd Prime Element	Posted - 2008.03.31 13:10:00 - [60] Why does island get to have a colour all to their own in this pic? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cest sig coming soon...
