Hi, just wondering if they change the time for server maintenance when daylight savings comes? I was playing last night late and at 3 am the shutdown notice popped up. I'm in the Mountain time zone btw (north america). This kinda sucks for me coz on weekdays the only time I have to play is after work. Makes it hard to finish nasty missions and its a real bore killing the same swarm of ships day after day.

Iceland doesn't have daylight saving so neither does CCP. They have the same all year round, no change.

It would give me more time to finish a mission rahter than getting near the end then having to dock and rinse and repeat the next day because the ships I killed before have now respawned.

DST is a real ****er for me too. It moves the downtime into my chosen lunch window. So I either have to take lunch later, and risk that all the canteen will have left is some burnt sausages and vegetarian crap, or visit Azeroth that day. So that when Blizzard are having one of their mega 15 hour downtimes it totally ruins my day!

The extra salvaging and loot is nice, yes indeedy. Made 20 times the mission bonus but hard to impress an agent if you can't finish missions except for weekends and holidays.

Once you get enough standings, you can call in favors from your agent instead of the other way around OHGODS BELOW THIS LINE IS MY SIG !!!! SRSLY! Blane Xero > Lance is at -0.9 sec status with a 1 million bounty. Lance is also amarrian. Thats 3 evil points |

So, what? You can't wait an hour and finish the mission after DT? ------------ I spit in the face of GoonFleet I would spit on your honor, but you have none. And May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

EVE uses GMT which does not change time by seasons.
Your asking the wrong question though, Why do we have Daylight Savings Time?
All recent studies show it costs more in energy and we've long moved from the agrarian societies of the 19th century.

Considering that most of the complainers during DST changes are Limeys who don't know the difference between BST and GMT, you hardly have a foot to stand on.
It's our Antipodian friends who have the most to complain about, because it can actually make a large difference in their playing time. But the rewards for starting after DT should outweigh the problems if they can stay up late enough.
OP - just move down here to Arizona. We don't have DST, so Eve Time is always +7.

I envy you, We used to have Indiana time, no DST. The idea of not observing DST confused the governor too much so he made us switch to DST for no other reason than to assimilate with our neighbors.

I'd love that. Arizona reminds me of Mars though I imagine the winters are not so horrid as in Alberta.
