How about displaying a local time (machine's clock) and game time (server's clock) in the bottom right corner. This would be quite nice when waiting for festivals and such.

Not a bad idea, as long as you can hide it too. Server time should be GMT time though.

This has been suggested every now and then, especially around festivals.

Nonetheless, I have to say it's probably one of the handiest ideas I've ever seen for the game.

is a really good solution. There are other ones too.
Wow... thats great. It even shows the Anet time for the festivals... Oh. Wait it doesnt.

Its a great idea, and should not be too hard to add to the game (could be only Anet time is sent and you have to set your local time for your client to calculate itself).

Yes, maybe pop it in guild menu or hero menu, and at start up so that you can work out what time events etc are happening.

As long as you can choose your own time zone

I was pretty shocked when I first typed /time ingame and nothing happened. It seems like such an obvious thing to have! Even if it only returned gmt and not local time, I'd find it very useful.

I rarely look at clocks while playing... perhaps that is a problem

Use Xfire's in-game clock.

It would be really nice to have a server time and a local time in the IP/FPS/Latency popup.

Hover the mouse cursor over the green led, and you get that.
Playing windowed, maximizing it's a bit annoying.

How about server time be maybe lets say Pacific time, since that is what all the anouncements are based off of. Either that or switch both to GMT. Since Anet gets to choose, and they are currently using pacific for everything, I would plan on that.

Would be nice to have some server time showing on the screen though to give a time reference to people.

Not all. Euro English ones are set in GMT, Spanish in GMT+1, and so on. It would be better to have both. Server time and local time.
