Game Time

Aug 12, 2007 davejohn link
Game time is GMT , and can be displayed by typing /time. Would it be relatively easy to display game time in the pda , say along the line from home station?
The reason I ask is that player run events are scheduled according to gmt , and for several hours before and afterwards the host has to explain the concept of time. If we could just say 21 00 game time sunday then it might save a few keyboards .

cheers

It'd be easy to write an addon to do it...

Actually, I've really wanted this for a while. I'll write it into Pirate's Toolkit when I'm done cooking/eating dinner tonight.

I think I'll add it into the HUD as well as the PDA.

hehe Scuba you *rock*
and for the purposes of the clueless, we will redefine GMT:
GMT = GaMe Time
(yeah I know what GMT is IRL)

[tangent] hehe Saturday I got confused cos my GMT /time was wrong - it comes locally off the client (off my laptop battery) and as I moved to Germany for 2 weeks, I have moved my clock forward by 1 hr ... Doh! Otherwise usually I understand what's going on. [/tangent]

Oh, I changed /time too.

The point of having this a part of the client, and not as an addon, is that everyone would have it, not just the ones that have added it.

...and that is exactly why I'm leaving it on my HUD list. I think the devs will see it at their convenience and implement it as a quick feature.
