22:00GMT to 6:00 GMT means I can actually take part.

I hope that CCP is letting the poor GMs/Devs sleep in late since they'll be pulling an all-nighter.
Maybe they're relying on strong coffee, Brennavin, and h+íkarl to keep them awake? |

It would be nice if they told the people who they wanted to play what time it is in their time zone. I understand I can go to google and find a converter but should I have too? |

The news post gives the time in EST (but didn't specify AM or PM for those that really struggle with the conversion)

Actually, it's here:
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=626115#post626115
So, for U.S. EDT (Daylight Savings) you subtract 4 hours. Thus the event runs from 18:00 (5:00pm) to 02:00 (2:00am) in the eastern U.S..
The Canadian Maritimes would be an hour "later" (6:00pm to 3:00am), while the Pacific Coast is three hours "earlier" (2:00pm to 11:00pm). |

But... math! Just realized the post said EST and not EDT.
I had seen the 22:00 UTC so I knew it was in the evening for the US, although the news post does say 11:30 EST so there is an half hour discrepancy between the forum and the news post.
Doesn't "March 18th at 22:00 GMT" = 22:00 - 4 for EDT = 18:00 which is 6:00 PM or am I really time disabled? |

I know my conversion already. I'm speaking for everyone else. Do you really believe that everyone knows their conversion? Again should they have to convert it? You are already singling out a certin demographic why not convert it? It's too easy to be hard. |

Yes. GMT = UTC. Most timezones are shown by the different from GMT/UTC, so it's pretty obvious, if you've played on an MMO with an international guild/clan/organisation, especially if you need to coordinate times. |

Reav, your post with EST is unrelated to the event time. That's what time things started happening in the lore not when the event starts for us playing the game. |

Look up here ^
See that time stamp?
I believe you are all smart enough to figure out what time it is in GMT figure it out from there.
so in about 4.5 hours. |

You are making assumptions that EVERYONE knows to convert it, yet alone to GMT.

The 11:30 EST time was for an NPC news event, not the mercenary battles in Dust. |

now they just need to create the same event later this week for the GMT+ zones. since im GMT+2 playing at midnight is not a good idea when i have work in the morning. so hopefully they announce the time for players in the GMT+ zones |
