Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Riftrunner Chat

I think: time difference between EST (Eastern Summer Time) and CEST (Central European Summer Time) are 6 hours. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Great ! More confusion ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Almost correct, but the '-' sign should be a '+'
so 20u00 + 5 = 01u00 time GMT belgium is in the zone GMT +1 so 02u00

ergo, it's night then, most people sleep over here...

He's right though.
It's +6. (we're "ahead" in europe.)
So 2am ECT or 02:00.

My bad. Sorry for the confusion.

Yep that is right.
EST time is the time in New York. So the people in GMT +1 have to chat at 2 o clock at night ( the night of tuesday to wednesday)

and if you don't believe me: clock

Marian is just so evil that there is no place for any other adjectives for him <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Well, I want now CLEAR WORDS : WHEN will the Chat be, here in Belgium, Germany, and the surrounding countries ?

Hi!

I used http://www.timezoneconverter.com and it says:

8 PM EST == 3 AM @ Berlin

(Sorry, I put 1AM in the news at first, but this was wrong)

Does this mean the Chat is 1.00 in the middle of the night ?

Depends on where you are <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

In Germany (as well as in Belgium, I think), it'll be September 17th, 3AM.

As the disclaimer says on Timezone converter:


DST is Daylight Saving Time. As only one of the timezones is modified for that you end up with one hour too much. The difference between EST and the time in germany is 6 hours. So this means 2AM and not 3AM.

here you can find the two timezones, Click me.
Lookup the 8PM time for New York and see what it is then in berlin.

The chat will be at 2h in the morning in France (GTM + 2h).
In Belgium it would be nearly the same.

Complicated... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> they should have used that internet time thing instead...

But 2 AM sounds good, worst thing that could happen is you have to wait for an hour <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />

Huh? France in a different timezone than Germany? That is one thing I can't believe. France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium... all use CET/CEST, all except Great Britain or Ireland <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

May be i am wrong. I have got the info on the french Riftrunner site :

"Chat avec les développeurs de Riftrunner on 10/09/2003 by yann
Quand: Mardi 16 septembre à 20:00 EST (GMT-5) Ce qui nous donne 02h00 par chez nous." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It's 2 am for all west-european countries. Except the UK and Ireland.

Yes that is true.For people in West europe, except the UK it is 2 am (UK = 1 am) on the night from tuesday 16th september to wednesday the 17th september.

edit: sorry for the wrong date

It's great that there will be a Developer Chat about <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" />. But I'm confused about the time. Is it now 2 or 3 AM for germans? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

2am (02u00 military time) 17 sebtember

(so not on my birthday <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />)
