    [Suggestion] Timezone List on Lodestone Events

    For the recently-implemented Lodestone Events, I suggest a dropdown list of UTC timezones + "Server Time" for the convenience of players. Set the default value to "(blank)" and make it a Required* field. At the moment, there is only an option to add date and time which will be ambiguous unless otherwise noted in the Event description by the event organizer.

    FFXIV is an international game and many players come together from different timezones. A timezone list would be really helpful to clear up any confusions. Since the events are only in specific maximum-of-eight-hours windows, any delays due to timezone confusions would be a hassle.

    Edit: Tested the events with an FC member. The time stated is displayed on the local time of the viewer's machine, just like how dates and times are displayed in-game. The event organizer just has to keep in mind that he is setting date and time based on his timezone when he is creating the event. For example, if the event organizer is currently in Japan but their main event will begin at 12:00 AM UTC for the convenience of the other participants, he should put 9:00 AM on his event not 12:00 AM.

    Updated Suggestion: If not a timezone list, can the events creation window please state something like "The date and time that you input will be converted to viewers and participants timezones." ?
