    People appear to believe that an East Coast server would have a different time frame than the current West Coast servers, even though all servers across the world are using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). In reality, everything is keyed off of Japan Standard Time (JST). The weekly reset begins at 11 pm JST on Monday night, which is 6 am PST and 9 am EST.

    The daily reset for many things (Beast Tribes, Roulettes, etc ...) is 12 am JST, which is 7 am PST and 10 am EST.

    Don't even get me started on Daylight Savings Time. Japan does not change like most of North America does. 12 am JST is 8 am PDT and 11 am EDT.

    It makes no difference what part of North America you inhabit -- the game reset occurs at a single point in time across the world.

    Use Local Time to tell you how late your playing, and just remember 7 am PST/8 am PDT for the daily resets in North America. Unless you live in huge chunks of Arizona, for example.

    And Remember Folks: Daylight Savings Time kicks in on Sunday, 12 March!

    Luckily, for the final time. Once we go back at the end of the year, it stays that way permanently, I believe.

    No, it only passed in the Senate, the house failed to decide which time we would stay on, so it never got signed into law. We're stuck with it for now.

    Personally wish they'd just have us fall back and stay there. Springing forward causes a lot more problems due to people freaking out, losing sleep, and throws everything out of whack. Nobody likes losing sleep, ever.

    And unfortunately, that's the one that's likely to stay, even as dumb as it is. Who the hell wants sunlight at 10pm in the summer? I'm trying to go to bed you jerks.

    Exactly. Nobody wants sun that late, and winter is often cloudy enough to where it's dark regardless of the time change.
