Title: Time Zones?
Post by: Styan on May 21, 2005, 05:57:44 pm

Ok... Im trying to wrap my head around this... but I'm not sure if I've got it.

I am currently in Eastern (GMT -5), The events are in PST (GMT -8).  FA time is CST? (GMT-6)

So this means if the Events team says meeting at 8:00 PM wherever, that means..

Event time: 8:00pm
FA time: 10:00pm
Eastern: 11:00pm

Does that sound right?  I think i've got it, but I want to be sure.  I'm making a reference card that I can look at so when I see a time I can just look it up and know exactly when something is gonna happen.

Thanks a bunch :)

just so you all know, the module //f.a.t. (FA time) has the wrong time. it never caught the change in daylight savings, so it's an hour behind (i.e. if the clock says 6pm, it's really 7pm.) :) but yes, FA time has always been 2 hours later than the scheduled time. back before beta was 24/7, the servers were up noon to midnight, which was 2pm to 2am FA time. before that, it was even worse. =/ can you imagine having to wait til 2pm to play!? it was madness!! lol

EDIT: hope your brother's alright. nothing too serious, i hope? :(
