I was just thinking it might be easier to meet up with people if one clock was added so that everyone can rendez-vous at the same time, if they wanted to do group missions or so..

Type /time. Welcome to GMT, the timezone that doesn't have daylight savings.

well at least make /time use the server's time and not the players computers time.

/time is GMT, not your computer's local time, not your neighbor's computer's local time, not my computer's local time. It is GMT, and it always has been.

/time is the player's computer's time, offset into the GMT timezone, and not the server's time, offset into the GMT timezone.

ha take that mskanaka

EDIT: wouldn't it make more sense for /time to get the server's time and offset it to GMT so that everyone was on the same time?

Could you make it show server time (I assume servers run GMT)? It doesn't matter if it is off by a few seconds or howevermuch ntp drifts as long as it is the same for everyone.

Doesn't everyone NTP theese days anyway?
Does it really matter if it's my computers time represented in GMT?

OH NOES, I'LL BE 23 MILLISECONDS LATE FOR TEH EVENT!!!11!

Anyway, it'd be a lot more fun if it did Milwakee time, offset to the year of Vendetta.
Do Itani still call it "February"? Do Serco have an "October"?

Hmm....

You've become awfully trollish, Demonen...

Anyway, I'm in favour of keeping it GMT, but server-based, like Antz said, because it's easier to convert from something to GMT than from something to something else, and because of the importance of the time being equal for everyone.

Unecessary use of bandwidth. Maybe when you first connect, it'll do a sanity check and make sure your time is the Right Time(tm). It's a small use of data packets, but every little bit helps when lag makes your shots not register.

Right Time™.

But yeah, initial matching would be sufficient, since if a computer cannot keep track within the space of a few hours, there is something else wrong with it.
