Could we all start to use 24h clock instead of am and pm. Never ever seen am and pm used before I started to play here and it is quite confusing.

I really doubt thats gonna happen. This alliance is based on a north american server and thats how we do things here. I'm sure if we went anywhere else we'd have to ajust to whatever is down there.

Hush Sylix.

Ask people to post GMT times, compared with EST, I think its 7 hours difference, not hard.

Using 24 hour clock is actually decent idea, but It will be based on some NA time zone still. So that makes it moot. Just by a cheap ass clock to sit above your comp and leave it on Est time zone. Just a suggestion.

EST -> EET +7hours (finland)
EST -> CET +6hours (middle europe)
EST -> GMT +5hours (Greenwitch)

and
PST -> EET +9hours
PST -> CET +8hours
PST -> GMT +7hours

Exsamples:
09:00pm EST -> +7hours -> 04:00am EET
03:00pm EST -> +7hours -> 10:00pm EET (or like we say it 22:00)

Besides timezone conversions (for which I'm coding a simple solution which shall forever solve all problems of miscalculations - I'll post link when it's done) there's the problem of understanding things like what "12pm" means - it's not always clear for someone who's lived in 24h time all his life ;)

(Oh and most likely everyone knows how to get times in his local timezone from GMT, so posting (also) GMT times for raids would be very nice... I'm always afraid of getting DST wrong.)

Shush again, Sylix. Our alliance has more Euro and Asian Pacific timezone players now. Of course you wouldn't know that. Reading some of these post could have told you.

I will start using 24 hr time when announcing of raids.

handy timezone converter - http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

only problem with it is that the list of timezones is so huge!
