Ok, my bitch is this, the LC community is worldwide, we have to correct to localtime from current local Pacific time. San Diego is currently on PDT (Pacific Daylight Time, PST +1) but then will state times for events in PST (Pacific Standard Time) only to self-contradict with the in-game heralds quoting PDT. The difference is, as an example 3 days a go, of a server maintenence that will take 30 mins using the PDT info or 1 hr 30 mins using the PST info. This problem happens so often nobody trusts the LC event times, just see how often players ask when the quiz starts, and since they recently have stopped heralding that the quiz rooms are open they have not helped.

Now, this is were the fun starts (NOT), I,m in the UK, I am currently on BST (British Summer Time GMT/UTC +1) which restores the 8 hour differential with San Diego on PDT. on the 25th Oct we revert back to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) resulting in a 7 hour differential with PDT till the 1st Nov when they go back to PST restoring the 8 hour differential. I am hoping that the use of Berlin time from their EU servers is not involved as then we have to deal with CEST (Central European Summer Time,GMT+2) and CET (Central European Time GMT+1).

If they just stuck with one time standard 365 days of the year, they would have a consistent base to present event times, the worldwide users would then ONLY have to adjust for their own local time if daylight saving is implemented and not have to second guess corrections for the US and the LC engineers.

Be this standard PST, GMT/UTC (Universal Time Co-ordinated) or Outer Mongolian Extreme Winter Time, just pick one and stick with it.

And finally, just to really prove that you cannot put your faith in the LC engineers with hours, they have problems with days as well, they are advertising a week long event starting on the 24th, the first being 24 hours of 150% exp beginning at 12:00 PDT, on the 23rd! (and it started at 10:00 PST)
