Server opened 1 hour before the leves reset

That depends. I just saw 4:00 (PDT). Do they mean AM or PM?

That would be AM.

Also, regarding whether or not time went on during the downtime or not, I think there's a good chance that time, in fact, didn't keep going. During regular maintenance, the servers stay on. Hence, why time still goes on. However, with the servers being completely shut down, there's no way to know whether or not we'll all have tons of anima and/or Guardian's Favor when we log back in. As Isaaru and Arcell mentioned, it may re-adjust itself, but there's no guarantee. Hopefully they do! Full anima and Guardian's Favor for all!

That is what happens when you are in the military too long, you cant recognize normal people time lol

Even if the servers are fully off a time clock still runs, do you know anything about computers? Even your home PC clock keeps going even if its not plugged in =D it has battery. If the server is setup to sync to rl clock it will match current time.

Yes, I'm aware of how a computer's clock works, but we don't know how the FFXIV software on the servers themselves works. Sure, the servers' internal clocks on whatever OS they run on top of will be the right time, but what we don't know whether or not that will translate into the time in FFXIV having passed as well. Common sense would point to this being true, but none of us know with 100% certainty. All I'm doing is saying that both options are plausible, nothing more.

Yep thats completely true, I am assuming it will work. I'm hoping anyway. I think some people will be pisssssed if they dont have their anima back lol

[gifthorse]

Yay! Now you can kill twice as much mobs... thrilling.

24 Hour time base, baby.

ONLY 9 HOURS TO GO.

If things were shut down completely (which is likely), it's possible that time stopped. It would all depend, as someone else mentioned, on how the server clock works.
