Title: The game's clock slipped an hour
Post by: IonWorks on October 29, 2007, 07:50:08 pm: Yesterday afternoon (Sunday) on the U.S. east coast, the game was unavailable for a period of time. As a result, it appears the game lost an hour, and now restarts each month at 6:08pm eastern US time (12:08am Central European Time). Prior to yesterday, the game was restarting each month at 5:08 EDT / 11:08pm CET.

Will this be the new framework for time going forward, or are there plans to move things back the way they were before yesterday's blip?

I believe that's the way it will be. Happened last age as well.

Go for it. I much prefer the 5pm EDT month change.

*mumbles something about 26-day game months*

26 day months needs the game to be slower first. it's too fast as is to spread out further the monthly bills. and i doubt a shift to 22 day months would be appreciated by anybody.

Post by: IonWorks on October 29, 2007, 09:05:01 pm: Now I'm confused :)

The game appears to be sync'd to the top of the hour now (instead of 8 minutes past the hour) which is awesome. But it's still a full day "off". Will the new month turnover at 6pm eastern US time / 11pm GMT / 12am CET, or will it be moved back to to 5/10/11?

Thanks again!

Nope, that went through on Sunday morning at 2am this side of the pond.

Post by: IonWorks on October 29, 2007, 10:09:18 pm: Oh ok. So when daylight savings time ends here (on this side of the pond) this coming Sunday, we'll be back to 5pm (on the east coast).

Thanks!
