Greetings,

 

My name is Jordan and I come with a very simple but, in my opinion, pretty useful suggestion. I don't really know if this has been suggested or even implemented yet but I'm going to suggest it anyways :) (rebel!).

 

As many players do not live in the same time zone as the server, it is difficult to track the time of the server, unless you're good at remembering the time difference between your time and the server's time, which I'm not, due to being unbelievably forgetful >.<. It makes a it little annoying if you're hunting MVPs and have to constantly check the time to see when the particular MVP would spawn.

 

Hence, I suggest having a simple "/time" feature, which would show the time of the server, which would PDT, if I am not mistaken, and maybe the dates as well. That way, players who are living in different time zones are able to easily check the time of the server and go "Hey! Orc Lord is spawning in 16 minutes time! Let me sit down here like a good citizen and wait politely for it to honor me with its presence :)".

 

Thanks for listening to my suggestion!

 

Cheers.

That would be nice, although I can just tab out to the world clock on my desktop or choobs.

Are you in the USA or Canada? RO is hosted from California, which is Pacific Time. Pacific time is always 3 hours behind Eastern time.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post and comment! Checking the world clock and choobs are viable solutions, but you would still have to take your eyes off the game.

Hello! Thanks for reading my post and replying! I live a land much further away and never bothered to check on the time difference due to me not really having a need for it. However, I have to express my gratitude to you for telling me where it's hosted. Hopefully it would be easier to remember now that I actually need it.

 

Cheers!

If you are on Windows Vista (I assume Vista has it. 7 and 8 do)or higher: click your system clock on your task bar, click on change date and time settings and go to the additional clocks tab. You can add the server's time zone to your tray from there. The time zone is UTC -8:00. Sure it's not in game but it is always just a click away. Once enabled all you have to do is click on the time and it will show the additional clock.

I didn't know you could do this. I've been using a clock widget for it.

 

Now I can turn widgets off and save processing power omg I love you for this XD
