Q:

It appears that the servers did not see a time adjustment to DST. Is this intentional? I don’t know if Europe does savings time at all, but the vast majority of people on the US servers likely live in areas that do observe DST. It would be nice if the times would be adjusted accordingly.

A:

The reset times and what-not are all on +0 UTC if I remember correctly. They are not affected by DST.

So basically everything will happen 1 hour later, as far as daily resets and the like. Would be really nice to know if Anet plans to change it or leave it as is.

The servers are set to reset dailies at 00:00 GMT/UTC.

GMT/UTC is a time reference that does not change for daylight savings.

I like the fact the server time remain static. It gave me an extra hour to finish up my dailies.

I would like to see server time remain static.

Does anyone remember if it changed in the fall? I’m lucky if I can remember what I did this morning, let alone 6 months ago.

This is an international game.

Where I live, we’ve been on local DST for the past 5 months or so, but I don’t expect the game’s servers to change time based on my local time. In fact, I’m impressed that the reset time appears to be pegged to GMT/UTC as otherwise I’d get hit by a double-whammy of server adjusting for US DST followed by my local DST ending sometime soon. This would effectively shift the reset time 2 hours forward for me.
