You aware that English correct me if I am wrong originate from Latin?

Think about that for a while.

Nearly all european languages come from Latin, doesnt mean they all understand each other.

 

[lofff]

however, the servers are phisically hosted in france, running on CET as 80%+ of its population, so all those retards who think they live in the center of the universe should stop posting GMTOWNSYOU crap and think with a bit of comon sense. Then again, as many said above, who gives a fuck.

Well, and were did Latin came from or was most influenced from?

Who gives a flying fucktard where its hosted..its a UK server..so GMT..and where do you egt 80% of players are CET based? Whats your source..stop throwing random stats in that are probably far from the truth and you have no data to back it up.

 

[sibanac]

GMT=UTC (Universal Time), so if any time is to be considered as for all then it's this

But the UK is only GMT in the winter, in the summer its on BST

Hmm well the game is physically developed in the US, and sent down to GoA in france so they can patch the servers, that doesnt mean all us folk who play on Excal or Pryd should all move to EST just to play the game.

If you have a second language grats, but stop qqing about the fact that those of us who live in England and have it as our first language play the game to our own time zone....

And after all this is just more bs for mids to say they have an excuse for an alarm clock.... heres a new idea, dont bother with excuses, we know you will do it and frankly dont care. Just alarm clock em, so albs can do the same back, and dont qq when we do because it'll be of your own making.

 

[old.Whoodoo]

Why cant all you fucktards just post both times in posts eg. 1800GMT (1900CET) or vice versa and stop whinging.


Jeez, sometimes the arguements on here are like watching a kindergarden class being given 1 sweet and being told to share nicely.

 

[Maoni]

It is a British server, and the timezone reflects that. It is not a server for people who speak English, it is just a British server. If you play for a one hour time difference go play the German or French servers. Dunno what your whining about, can't remember the last time an event was organised to GMT on Excal.

damn =( since there are no Swedish server i have to delete all my chars then =S

 

[Roken]

Heres an idea:

If you really care (and think it should be CET) - boycott any raids / events published with a GMT time. (You are so intollerent I doubt anyone on the raid / event (and possibly continent) will like you anyway)

[lofff]

dont get mistaken, this thread origins in the RR thread on RvR section, in which ppl like the one mentioned by topic(Edaemos) bring up GMT crap in order to justify (or cut off one hour) the time raid took part

if theres someone trying to 'enforce' their timezone and thoughts on AC raids using GMT/CET arguments, that was the UK players..

difference is minimal and irrelevant, as relic raids are now more of a.. consuming long siege thing.. along many hours/days..

but what i tried to comunicate, is that if u use comon sense and think objetive, u will realize the vast majority of the server lives in CET, thus it should b the normal reference. (even ppl like gamah who failed on giving himself a definition, its more something like: A hypocrital egocentric poor man who has his head stuck too far up his arse to see two feet in front - from ur own experience, am sure ~80% ppl u have met in daoc, did not happen to be british.)

 

[Dorin]

such a thread m8s.

 

[Jayce]

that was the UK players..

So 1 person, maybe a couple more, think for the entire UK now ? Is that how things work where your from ?

 

[Chilly]

I remember the original whine about time zone son BW started by m00 and backed up by me about how GMT != BST cos a load of idiots thought GMT meant whatever the time was in the UK, fucking idiots go back to school!

 

[Drav]

but what i tried to comunicate, is that if u use comon sense and think objetive, u will realize the vast majority of the server lives in CET

That again m8 is bollox, Id say its at least a 50/50 split, if not more on the UK side, bout 70% of the ppl in DT are english, live in the UK, and play on excal in gmt.

Cant speak for the rest of the realm but until you provide hard evidence of your "Majority of the server is in CET" then everyone UK based is gonna disagree

Either way this entire thread is a load of bollox simply to try and say Alb Alarm Clocked.... Who cares this much about it? ffs

Its like saying "OMFG j00 lamezor Albs attacked my realm while I was afk for an hour and was eating dinner along with the rest of my realm m8s!!! OMFG LAMEZOR, DONT j00 PPL KNOW ITS LAME TO ATTACK PPL AT DINNERTIME?!!!!"

Someone please close this idiotic over the top, illogical cry baby thread.

You couldve got the relics back by now if you'd made half the effort to RVR that youve made in this stupid post.

 

[Fana]

Its a Nordic server imo

 

[lofff]

i should have phrased that adding a 'some', didnt mean to generalize, generalisations are shite. u missed drav's tho:

If you have a second language grats, but stop qqing about the fact that those of us who live in England and have it as our first language play the game to our own time zone....

not all of us with second languages qq about english ppl playing according to their timezone, afaik dont think a single one does ;p~

then again it would b grand if ppl could read full posts before answering, am not a mid, i dont think the RR was wrong, when i arrange a public raid on forums, i do especify both in gmt and cet.
I was merely stating the fact that the vast majority of our liddul comunity lives in CET, therefore it would b the most logical common reference. Weither you want to realize that or not, is not my concern, am not gonna make u a poll. Perhaps its a more balanced % if u stick to the alb realm.. but we have 3 realms you see..

 

[Drav]

such evidence... so convincing... case closed...



/sarcasm off

 

[lofff]

am not gonna make u a poll.

instead of been so demanding as if i was in some sort of trial, u could come up with some arguments.. if it means anything to u, my personal findings come from sharing over 3 years with this comunity, playing the 3 english servers and all realms apart from alb/exca hib/pryd. Its a fact that nordic ppl tends to play mid (doh) and apparently british fancy ganging by the round table of camelot! But i cant prove that neither, its popular knowledge amongst the comunity..

 

[Bloodaxe_Springskalle]

this is an important issue... seriously if the time is not standarized the world will surely go under!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY CANT YOU SEE THAT?!?

just make sure u post CET or GMT behind the start time it should never be a problem ^^

 

[Naugi]

For those who seem to have no education:

The Greenwich Meridian (Prime Meridian or Longitude Zero degrees) marks the starting point of every time zone in the World. GMT is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the centre of the time zone map. GMT sets current time or official time around the globe.


Why is Greenwich, England the home of world time?
The standard by which all World Time is set was agreed at the 1884 International Convention in Washington DC, USA and placed Greenwich on the Prime Meridian (Zero Longitude). Each Time Zone is measured relative to Greenwich, England.

What is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)?
Greenwich Mean Time or GMT is the time standard against which all other time zones in the world are referenced. It is the same all year round and is not affected by Summer Time or Daylight saving Time.


Just a few things I found on the web (didnt find anything important about CET). :kissit:


Yes I was bored. :worthy:

Fair enough.

I'm not talking about any RR. I did read the entire post and thought what Drev said was nothing to do with all UK players, but you said you just missed the word 'some' so nps.

I was merely stating the fact that the vast majority of our liddul comunity lives in CET, therefore it would b the most logical common reference. Weither you want to realize that or not, is not my concern, am not gonna make u a poll. Perhaps its a more balanced % if u stick to the alb realm.. but we have 3 realms you see..

I happen to think the majority of players are from mainland europe, but it would still be nice to see some sort of facts rather then peoples opinions.

Yep.. i went there in the summer, read the stuff in the museum, and then smoked a spliff at the centre of the universe... (timewise anyway)

Heh, yes im egocentric...sure..First of all you like throwing around facts without evidence (Uneducated?)..Also what does my financial situation have to do with anything? Again where the 80% proof? Not saying your wrong I just want proof..? As far as being egocentric? I hardly think so..I live in London for starters..Infact in my town theres more Indians and other types of nationality rather than English? Does that mean I should run on central asian time .

If you want to get into some "Flame War" then fine, I will whipe the floor with you, however I like educational debates not general tit for tat insults. Also I have not been hipocritcal once in this thread, if you would like to point out where I have then go ahead..but using 'big' words without knowing what they mean does not make your post seem any more relevent to me.

So to recap:
1. Prove this 80% figure
2. Stop using words you do not know the meaning of.
3. Don't personaly insult me (I know this is the way people like you get thier point across but it does nothing to add weight to your argument)
4. From my "own experiance" I would say about 55% are CET others are GMT and other timezones) However its a pot/kettle situation when you call me "egocentric" because not all non UK players are in CET time zone.

Have fun, Any raids I organise will be in GMT so live with it or don't come =).

WHS .. wise man!

If you are UK post GMT (EUR) if you are European post EUR (GMT). Can't really go to far wrong there can you?

Just because something is on the web, does not make it a fact.

1- GMT is NOT the same all year round, GMT is changed twice a year, in the Summer the clocks go forward an hour, in the Autumn they go back an hour. Overall the expanse of a year the same amount of hours transpire, but they do not occur one after another in their entirity.

2- This is the most rediculous thread i have read this week

3- Read Boni's post several pages back.

4- Stop flogging that horse, it died on page 2
