Minor suggestion that I think would be very useful.
Because theres no way to tell time unless you minimized Guild Wars, perhaps a timestamp could be added to messages in the Chat Window.
Maybe there could also be a toggle option associated with it. Perhaps the timestamp would only appear when a minute has passed as well.
For example:
(1:43) - Me ---> Hi there.
You ---> What's up.
Me ---> Just chillen.
(1:44) - You ---> Aight cool.
Timestamp for Chat Messages
Problem.
MithranArkanere
A couple of timer for server an local time in the connection led (now server IP, FPS and Ping are show there already) would be better, like has been suggested before.
Trader of Secrets
I think it would make things more cluttered, messy.
Not sure wat the goal is though, either to prove something happened at a certain time or you just want to see the time.
I suggest either adding a timestamp when taking screenshots or add a function /time that says in GMT or a specific timezone.

no thanx. would get kind of annoying and clutter up the chat window. maybe if it was an optional addition that could be turned on and off in the options window. just play in windowed mode with the screen extended the full size of ur comp screen so u can see the time down on ur taskbar ;-) otherwise get a clock set next to ur comp =P. it's annoying enough that the game enjoys telling u to go away every hour because ur playing too much.
Syntonic
Timestamps would be useful for some at least - I'd use them and it's not all that hard to implement if they had more people working on Guild Wars. As it is, probably not worth the time investment.
KZaske
While I agree with Syntonic above ("not worth the time investment") I would love to see a time stamp in the chat box. Or something that would document the time something occured. Perhaps just putting a time stamp on all system messages?
Like this;
22:13> Anybody Out There team has won the battle in the hall of heros.

If your goal is to know what time it is while you play GW, a timestamp is a horrible idea. We should just implement a clock.
I think though that a toggleable timestamp could be useful, but not of very great importance.

Id like timestamps on pm's, the ability to delay pms (eg so u get a shout in gvg, but you dont want to be disturbed [so you set to dnd] then when u are done, you get the pm's and can respond if you want), and finally id like an ingame clock/time so that its easier to organise events without worrying about timezone issues.
Eg meet at 12:00 GW time.

But like I said before, it would be a horrible idea without an optional feature. Do I think Anet should spend time on this, no. Its not important.
Do I think its a good thing for GW2, of course. Its the little things that count in life.

I feel that it should have a clock for pm's when set to "away" or yes, a clock, as my pc runs GW slower in window mode, but i use it like that to view times.

I'm actually going to have to agree with this suggestion. Would like to see this as an optional feature. Only because I'm notorious for going afk suddenly and returning to see I haven't logged out with a whole page of PM's. Wondering when they were sent, etc.

/signed as long as there's the option to turn it off for those who don't like it.

Would have to be in UTC being a global game.... and how many people can actually understand the concept of timezones?

Buy a clock, place it near your computer.
Buy a watch, wear it while playing.
Buy a cell phone, keep it near the computer.
Play the game in windowed mode so the Window's clock is visible without minimizing.

/signed . Ofc this would be optional so 0 problems and all advantages.
