Whenever a new update is issued we get info on when it will happen and when the servers are due back online.

Could we have other timezones included in this because 12pm San Fransisco time means absolutely nothing to me. Every Wednesday I find myself hunting for a timezone converter and then it spits out wrong times due to daylight savings etc.

Please Mr, Mrs, Miss Lindens tell us in a European time too, whether GMT or CET. :)

GMT is +8. Its simple elementary math. When you play the game and you see what time it is in game, compare that to the time it is in your time zone. Subtract and you will get the difference. That number never changes. So once you figure it out one time, you always have it figured out. Unless you dont know how to add 8 hours to any given time :P

Yeah what can i say? I'm lazy. :) I also have timezones in my mobile phone.
I think it would be nice for LL to do the math for us all who dont live in the usa though - being that sl is an international place.

I just know that I am GMT -7, and game time is GMT -6, so I know I am 1 hour ahead of times in SL. So just find your GMT, and done.
