Timing for big server events

Luke Danger · September 02, 2009, 02:25:44 AM

There's also the issue of a number of Players having school and the like now... if it's a big event, there should be enough time to do it and follow through... later-night events are not good on school nights either.

At least, EST wise for me, not sure on others.

Plan the Amazing server changing stuff on Fridays or weekends since that is when most people are online.

I really enjoyed the tournament tonight, even though it was at a time when I would usually be busy.

Quote from: Underbard;142942For the summer, we are on DST which is -4 rather than -5, which is normal EST.

For every one else, do like I did and lose your damn job so you can be here when needed.

Don't make this any more complicated than it is. Europe uses daylight savings as well, so the one hour difference is nullified.

Well, we in the southern hemisphere don't (at the moment)! This is an old issue though, so I won't beat it. I just keep a good time converter bookmarked.

When I was in Europe, they didn't use DST. I guess I must be getting old.

Depends where in the Souther Hemisphere you are. Here in Australia, some states have daylight savings (eg New South Wales and Victoria) and other states don't (such as Queensland).

Either way, do you happen to have a link to that time converter you were talking about?

Here's the place I use, it has all sorts of tools:

As for DAT, yeah. When we use it, many other countries (and even states within countries, yes, I'm looking at you Queensland) don't and vice-versa. It can get very confusing. :confused:
