Timezones

Original Thread

Here's a list of all of the time zones relative to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

Hopefully it'll help with planning and doing certain events with players from across the globe - without the nonsense of having to go to another site to find the infomation.

Daylight Saving:

For the countries in blue in this map, daylight saving is used. This means that in Summer Time, the clocks are put forward 1 hour in response to it getting darker earlier in the day.

This would mean that in Summer Time, your area would be an extra 1:00 ahead of what it would normally be.


Approximately 70 countries utilize Daylight Saving Time in at least one portion of the country. They all save one hour in the summer and change their clocks some time between midnight and 3:00 a.m.



Credit for the idea to include Daylight Saving goes to Mallet
