Just to help with planning Guild Events I think it would be really useful if we could have a leader set Guild Clock on the guild tab. That way we could all have a common time to work with if the guild is spread across the globe.

What do you think?

A guild WARS clock would also be nice, so everybody has a common time in game. I guess that would be pacific time (gmt -8?) if I remember correctly, but having it displayed would be very helpful.

I like this because it would help with a lot of things. Perhaps there would even be less people spamming questions about when such and such event is happening...

Yes, something like a countdown timer that the guild leader of officers can set for events would be awesome. I get tired of missing stuff.

it would work for holiday events too...people would know when events start, end and when specific things will take place.

Yes, a universal in-game clock would be useful since it would mean that everyone is at least operating on the same timezone. I wouldn't limit it to just guilds, but have the same clock visible to everyone.

Though as for which one to chose, I'd recommend choosing a timezone that doesn't have daylight savings because if the chosen one does have DST then there will be confusion whenever DST turns on and off.

And before anyone suggests a website to convert the time conversions for me, I can do the conversions in my head. So loading up a website is just a waste of my time, except when its near the DST on/off date. And I barely pay enough attention to catch those for my local timezone, let alone someone elses.

GMT/UTC is pretty much the standard one chosen, but and timezone without DST will do. Though I don't know of any others.

I'm all for it, then I won't have to play in windowed mode lol. if they can have a nag spam telling you how many hours you played, a simple clock shouldn't be to hard to accomplish.

/edit
not just guild, but 'world'

We see alot of ideas brought up on forums every day, this one isnt just good, but actually would be easy to implement. I agree with the idea, a guildwars world clock would be great. We do that already in the real world, GMT time, or zulu time as the military refers to it, why not in gw? great idea OP

Yeah i would be very helpful as time does fly when you are having fun and before you know it you have missed the tv show you wanted to watch.

A guild countdown timer would be good. But the main thing is a ingame clock!

I mentioned this along time ago. Forget what forums. This would not only be very useful for knowing when ingame events are going to begin but would also help with it comes to online auctions and what not.

Add a /time command or something so you can see it in chat

also add an optional display in the hud.

A little display clock that can be toggled on and off would be very useful, and wouldn't impose upon those that would rather not use it. Timezone really wouldn't matter, so long as it was consistent, maybe remove DST completely from it.

A clock with a universal would be very useful, and would certainly remove some confusion - we would know when events started, and could organise our own easier.

This was one of the most simple, yet most effective, tools in keeping things organized when I played EVE. One clock that everyone can see.

Most certainly signed.
