In my completely biased opinion, SL time should be UTC but thats mainly because its exactly the same time as GMT.
On a note where i can try to be unbiased it makes more sense in the face thats its in the middle. It does give off a slightly small minded view that LL feel San fran is the core of SL. Maybe it is but Europe doesn't like having events at 1 am. Makes us feel inferior. _____________________

Well events will still be at 1am, you'll just feel better about yourself because you don't need to convert because you're in Europe.

i do actually really hate the fact that almost always when i play its nighttime in SL and everything is dark and dim. is there a way to override the daylight mode for all places you visit ?
-- the user defined offset sounds good too like 4:00pm SL - 7am gmt.. or whatever |

Debug->World->Force Sunset (or basically it cycles to sunrise if it's night)
I think activating the debug menu is done with ctrl+alt+D, but I might be missing a key in there. _____________________

Sweet, now I get attention on forums too. ^.^;
Actually a mouse over on the SL clock and event listings that shows your time (so hovering over a 1 PM listing in the events would show instead 4 PM for me, or 9 PM for you Europeans) would be nice. But again, I'd like to do away with AM/PM and just go for the 24 hour clock idea. _____________________

Why not just script yourself a HUD atatched clock.
you could use llGetTimeOfDay() for the day/night phase and llGetGMTclock() for any timezone. |
