Sorry for poor english.

Okay, we need a PL timezone! A ingame clock!
There are so many people around the world with diff timezones that plays the game. If we had a ingame clock it would be alot easier to decide guild meetings, pvp matches (tournaments), etc.
If someone says, "c you guys at 8am (or 08:00) " it would make it so much easier for everyone to just follow the ingame timezone. No more googling timezones and figure out eachothers time of the day.
The clock could be in the menus or be optional to be able to put it on ur "main screen". What do u guys think? This cant be that hard or complicated to add to the game right? It would make so many things so much easier. Thanks for reading and sorry for bad grammar.

I like this idea.... I also think it would be cool if it showed how many hours you had been online total

It's been suggested before in a recent thread and I agreed that its a great idea. Hopefully the idea gets more attention here. :)

I think this should be added because I get so confused with times lol and I need to have time information.

Awesome idea, hope this is implemented.

Simple, but absolutely genius! It's always a pain to coordinate and schedule with all those different timezones...

C'mon devs, this won't be so hard to implement, will it? ;)

What time zone would be put in place? Austin, TX time? That's where the company is located right?

I remember suggesting a 'clock wall' long ago, with several clocks for a bunch of timezones.

This is one of the suggestions that I also believe couldn't be too hard to implement, and would prove extremely useful :)

Thanks guys. I know having a "server time" in game that everyone could reference against would be helpful to coordinate in-game activities (like PvP events, social meet-ups, etc.). No guarantees when or if it can be added, but it's on the list somewhere :)

This idea is pure genius :emmersed:

And one other part that would help would be to show local time too. So the clock would have:

Server time: 7:25
Local time: 10:25

This would make it completely unambiguous how server time relates to the "normal" time the player is used to. So if someone tells me "meet at 12:00 server time" I immediately can tell what "local" time that is for me, because both are right there on the screen.

I have been thinking about this for months! I haven't had time to get on my computer and put it on there though! This is a very needed idea for these purposes: Everyone will be on the same track, xp/farming runs, and parties!

I like this idea as well. There could be a digital clock in the corner of your avatar page and it can say 13:20 AST (meaning 1:20pm Alterra Standard Time)

Sorry just saw this for the 1st time, a terrific idea. Besides I think your English is very good compared to some around here even actual Americans lol. You could actual be a teacher to some these full time texters, slang-ers, miss spellers, ebonics...

One problem may be that clocks remind people how long they have been involved in any particular activity, and therefore serve as encouragement to move on and do something else. That is why most retail shopping facilities do not have public clocks. The idea is that people stay longer and shop longer if they are less often reminded of the time of day. A server clock in PL could very well lead to players spending a bit less time online....

Brod this is a great idea, but what timezone would we have? Also, isn't PL like a forest game? No electricity, no wait Ao3 but still you get what I'm saying? Right? :confused:
