NA Data Center Question

If the NA/EU data center is in NA why is the in game server time EU??

It's Greenwich Mean Time (based on the Greenwich Meridian), where east meets west, all other times are offsets from this. It's used on the JP data centre too.

It's not the time of any particular country, we don't even use GMT all year here in the UK where the line originated from. Seems like a good a time to use as any.

(edit: correction)

Its simple we the English made time and so we now force it upon the rest of the world.

You can't, I'd just get some popcorn and watch the train fall off the rails and plunge headlong into irrelevant irreverence, and once people get bored of beating the Britain vs America horse, fade slowly into obscurity.

Considering how we are handling our freedom, we should pretty much just give ourselves back to the Brits.

It's actually UTC (Coordinated Universal Time [don't ask me why it isn't CUT instead of UTC, it's probably a Romance Language thing.])

UTC is, for most practical purposes, the same as GMT. But the international scientific community decided that Britain couldn't have nice things.
