Issue #1: Galactic Master Time
Nobody really understands how it works, especially not Pizza Hut cashiers. They tell me it will be delivered in 35 minutes but can't tell me what that is in GMT.
Solution perhaps make Earth time display in the UI as well.
What do you think would a real world timescale improve gameplay?
Issue #2: Russians speak Russian
The Russian speaking players are quaint but meaningless, perhaps a in game machine translation option.
What do you think would rough translation be superior to unintelligible spam?
Issue #3: People at work think I am a geek
Would it be hard for a bosskey to be implemented that displays something more socially accepted than internet spaceships.

It is displayed in "Earth time" as it is GMT. Learn about time zones! Though, it would be nice for the game to respect time zones so I'm not always confused / ******ed. |

LOL at "Galactic Master Time".
It's "Greenwich Mean Time".
Also, Russians don't care that you don't understand them. My experience is that if they're speaking Russian in an "English-only" chat or server, they'll STILL talk Russian.
And you're supposed to work at work, not play. |

Edited by: Sieges on 13/12/2010 17:07:18EDIT: fixed my linkage. I think part of the problem with GMT is that it is in 24 hr format and obviously a different time zone for many users. It takes some brain-power to figure out when things are supposed to happen if you are used to AM/PM and GMT -8, etc… I just set my watch to GMT now and use it for RL as well. I have to be at work by 16:00 GMT. Luckily, there is this cool site that can help you convert times: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/gmt-converter.htm |

This should be included in the tutorial when you start eve, its one of the most difficult concepts to grasp. |

It gets *especally* complicated with switches to daylight savings. I think we need a taskforce to develop a workshop  @CCP: leave the time display as it is, thank you ... |

Edited by: Violet Valkyrie on 23/01/2011 09:20:07To the contrary, they should leave the time display as it is and change the year display from earth years to the Yoiul (YC) time count ... ... btw when did the name change from "Yulai" to "Yoiul" ? |
