This idea floated into my head while listening to an enormous amount of people asking about the "hats" and what time they would arrive. To avoid confusion, I think it would be nice to have a "game clock", or a standardized clock based on the time zone of the Guild Wars server locations/hq/whatever. This clock could serve as a universal clock that everyone could follow and thus, eliminate any confusion as to when an event was occurring.

Also, this would be a VERY handy little gizmo for organizing Guild Events, such as GvGs, as I'm sure many of us have people in our guilds of whom are not in the same timezones as ourselves.

In terms of placement, I think it would be best suited in the Guild Window.

Sorry I wasn't more detailed, but how detailed can you really be about a clock anyway?

This would allow me to plan things better and alleviate some of the panic I do go through to take part =\

seems like a great idea to me, especially if it helps organise things like gvgs etc. more easily

I thought of this, but it would be a standard GW time, or called that way

It could also be implemented as an emote. type '/time' and the time displays.

Or you could just buy a $3 watch from Walmart, set it to the server time and keep it next to your monitor...

/signed anyway - I mean - why not?

Maybe the time can be linked to a area ( gmt for europe, pdt for america, etc.)

I was thinking about this the other day, with a little different implementation and reasoning. I hate windowing GW to check the time (my clock ran out of batteries and I'm too lazy to put new ones in it), so I thought how nice a /time emote would be (and maybe a /timezone -5 or whatever to set your time zone vs. GMT time, -5 being EST) that would show both the GMT time and your local time.

As log as it's togglable with a hotkey /signed!!

Wouldn't want the clock up all the time, just when I need it real quick. Great idea.

Just curious, has any thought given to a real time environment in the game such as day and night or even a weather simulator?

and maybe a little pop up can alert us when something is going down, such as: "Hat Distribution in Kamadan in 5 minutes."

An excellent idea -- universal internal GW time, in the same manner as it has been implemented in EVE

yes a reference to ingame time would be nice for events and such, also the day night & weather effects sugested in the previous PvE spotlight would benefit from it.

Or better yet, if they have a similar console cmd like -perf. That way, less work for a programmer, and it's not THAT hard for a player to do.

A nice, simple idea that would be very helpful in coordinating events of all sorts. Preferably toggle-able or as a / emote.
