This is an english speaking server, NOT a server for english people, it's ment for people who do not speak german or french.

In other words it is CET.

(Please Requiel or any other gm, know we've had this discussion before, but confirm it for people who can't understand the fact).

As long as people can translate GMT to CET and vice versa, what difference does it make?

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.

No thats wrong as Gamah said. GMT is the same all year round.

I did hope posting all those words in bold like world time and around the globe would make it clear that GMT is not just 'the time those English folks have their clocks set to'.

The argument that GMT shouldn't be used as a standard timezone for Daoc servers that Europeans play on because English players are the minority (if thats even true) is obviously ignorant at best.

In the end I cant think of a single reason why people cant use (GMT) or (CET) at the end of any times they post. Well apart from the fact that requires Daoc players to use their brains and there the problem is sometimes horribly apparent.

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

When it comes from the official homepage of the GMT Timezone museum in England I trust it more than any opinions posted on FH Forums.

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

Think about that for a while.

I will correct you, English is a Germanic language yes we picked up Latin words later on but its roots are German....

Just because I use long words does not make me clever.

I wish I was as clever as you :/


Oh and a quick copy past from; http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/ (assuming you're willing to believe the evil intarweb!)

Clocks Change: Spring Forward & Fall Back (Fall = Autumn) BUT GMT remains the same all year around.
