I really find it quite anoying...
I always have to find a place to look up, what time something is going to happen just because it always states the pacific day time.
Is it really too difficult to add GMT behind it?!

Is it that hard for you to remember the difference between PDT and GMT?

Ryeun, as the european servers are in Holland and not in the US, it would be nice to actually have the times in the world time standard as well as the US servers local time zone. I.E. Stick it in PDT and GMT for everyones ease. As even the most brain dead monkey can work out what time is for their timezone if they know what it is in GMT.
It saves a lot of people wasting time and getting angry because they spend an hour getting ready to go hunting, only to have the 15 minute server down warning pop up.

Difficulty with GMT and UTC is that theyare notaltered with'daylight saving' times.Andnot all countries starting and ending daylight savingat the sime day complicates things even more.

I am not asking to switch it all to GMT, it just that the rest of the world is calculating from it

Thats why I said just GMT, and not BST or anything else. Everyone can calculate their time from GMT.

Well, I think most players are from the states and some of them might just not know what GMT is 
(and its not German Mountain Time)
Just annoying, the states have 4 time zones and when referring to some down times they seem to use the one they just thought about

I'd like to see this addition as well. Or..ACDST works for me too. (Australian Central Daylight Savings Time)
I can live with +930 GMT though. Who outside of the US even knows what PDT is anyway?
