Posted October 30, 2020 Can we PLEASE have all "official" times posted in the fora in UTC? Even if you specified your times are UTC+1 (or UTC+2) would be better than invoking CET. The game is published and played globally, across at LEAST 12 time zones. Most of us know our own time zone in relation to UTC, or at the very least we should. We also know our own local "summer time" or "daylight saving" adjustments and periods, or at least we should. Asking us to convert between other timezones and our own might not seem like much, but it is not terrific communication to expect your audience to be running additional translation on the side above and beyond any language translation. It's a bit like expecting global games communication to be primarily in English. It's not everyone's first language, but it is one of the few "global" languages and for those not fluent it is one for which a ready translation is likely available. When I come across CET or CEST in official Wurm comms, I tend to stop reading. If the author can't be bothered meeting me halfway, I can't be bothered doing their share. The term has no relation to me, because not only am I not IN Europe, I am not even NEAR Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a good tool i found on the internet to solve your problem http://www.timebie.com/std/centraleuropeansummer.php No, that doesn't solve my problem. The problem is the "speaker" requiring the "listener" to find additional tools to translate the message. Using the tool is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I guess what im saying is this is pretty simple fix that i think anyone with a reaction time can figure out and do within 10 seconds Edited October 30, 2020 by Melros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2020 We do operate in CET as that's where the servers are based, I absolutely can also include that it's UTC+1 though. Also, using /servertime ingame will tell you the local time where the servers are based, for easier distinction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Or UTC+2 when it is CEST). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
