WAR guild calendar times
« on: October 08, 2008, 07:55:25 AM »
There was some confusion last night of what time-zone the times in the WAR guild calendar are. The same confusion did exist already during beta, and it hasn't been decently clarified, because the answer is possibly too simple :)

The time seen in the calendar is *your* time.

Lets say you live in Germany and see in the calendar there is a today a Gundabad run at 8:25 PM. That really does mean 8:25 PM in Germany. If you live in Scotland, you would see 7:25 PM. If you live in Finland, you'd see 9:25 PM.

Let me iterate: You don't need to think how to convert the time in the calendar to your time-zone. The time in the calendar *is* the time in your time-zone (or rather, the time-zone your computer is set to, but that should be correct by default)  :)

Oh blast, now nobody reads it... ;)

It is a well known fact nobody reads sticky threads :P Presumably the logic behind this behaviour is, that if a thread is stickied, then everybody knows by default, even without reading, what the content of the thread is...

That's why you have to repeatedly *bump* stickies! :D

Plus the fact that bumping stickies simply rocks. ;)

Thanks for this info. I have been wondering about that. I also only yesterday found out (Beo in guild chat) that anyone can start an event in the calendar. I will start to use this feature.
