Things to think about for upcoming upgrade

[Lince'sa]

Not sure if anyone has suggested this yet, but, how about an all around clock of some sort? I tend to get all confused about the time and such and think it would be nice if players had some sort of easy and simple way to set up meeting times with each other going by one simple time setting.

I THINK the general time zone is either Eastern or Pacific. for all formal functions it's been Pacific while on wizards. but more commonly people seem to use eastern

That's all well and good - but some of us flung over in europe get very confused by the silly american time zones (almost typed zombies... guess whats on my mind? ¬_¬ ). Putting up a clock on the chat itself would be highly useful so people don't have to -guess- so much. A smaller option where SOME clever sod puts the time differences down would be nice, par example.

If the 'room' time is 12 midnight, it's really 11pm eastern, which makes it 4am GMT. So eastern would be -1 hr and GMT would be +4 hours.

It's hard enough trying to stay awake sometimes, without the added pressure of having to figure out time zones! ( ...I almost did it again!!! >.<)

...most notably - hawaii. Grr.

...look, if I don't do this, my hands will type it again and again. Zombie.

There... phew.

now you are just being technical : ) ok fine I'll put up a clock but it will flash 12:00 AM all the time...

one more thing. The Den has a /quit that works without adding a space... can we get one of those?

Gotta love that Hawaiian time zone. You KNOW you love me.

What's so special about the Hawaiian time zone...?

 

[Jameson]

What about those who just don't understand how to tell time? I mean I live in my own world and everyone can't tell time there...does this apply to me? and does anyone have a miller highlife? The only time I know is what time my Man U reruns come on the tube

 

[Willow_Calypso]

Absolutely nothing. We just have our OWN time zone.

 

[Jeajea]

Heh. What is it, compared to GMT?

 

[Elf_Ariel]

Heh, and I have to deal with daylight and non-daylight savings times that're opposites. *cringes* A clock would be great.
