NA Data Center Question

[MokoMuncher]

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

[Shaone]

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)

[Inquisitor]

It's Greenwich Mean Time

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.

We overlook your spelling mistakes as we would those of a young child; with fondness.

It is NA/EU datacenter, not NA datacenter
