changing time
under preferences you are able to change to your current time zone.. but what is the purpose of this? since it has nothing to do with the game time since its server related.
Re: changing time
This is so that you can quote a time in server time and have it appear in each person's local time.
To use this you send a message which contains a date/time enclosed with ? or !
If enclosed by ! you have to specify the date/time using server time, if enclosed by ? then you have to specify it using your own time zone (as specified in preferences)
For example:
?2010-10-09 05:00PM? or !2010-10-09 05:00PM!
(On a side not I had to look through the code quite closely to figure out how this was meant to work and just fixed it again - not sure anyone could remember it properly as it was added a long long time ago)

Re: changing time
I've seen it used when it was first released but not that I know of for a while
Re: changing time
On an extra note to this, the date will also come out formatted as the person has chosen in their preferences.
