World Tour 4/17

Sunday, April 17, starting at 4:00pm GMT I will be running a world tour. The tour will begin in Yrkanis and move to Fairhaven, then to Zora, then to Pyr, then back to Yrkanis, and will finally end in Avendale.

I expect this tour will take 10-12 hours. Feel free to show up or to leave at any leg of the journey. Generally each trek should take about 2 hours, but come an hour early just in case. Estimated times of departure (GMT) are:

Yrkanis - 4:00pm
Fairhaven - 6:00pm
Zora - 8:00pm
Pyr - 10:00pm
Yrkanis-12:00am

When you say GMT, do you mean UK time? (GMT never changes, UK time does)

Any chance we can standardise on GMT guys? :D

Everyone sees and uses GMT (all time zones are specified as offsets from GMT), pretty much no-one in the UK uses BST (and maybe even europe) - it's a shifting timezone, so why bother? :)

Plus, we're all victims of Daylight Saving aren't we? GMT = GMT, in almost all areas of the world.

One timezone to rule them all! :)

GMT, UTC, I live in New York and I'm leaving at noon. That will be 5pm in London, 2am in Sydney, 9am in Seattle, 8pm in Moscow, midnight in Beijing.

Yes please!

Can we get all times GMT?

Over here at GMT+10 time zones such as BST, EST, etc mean very little.

Please use UK time as reference. People generally do not know GMT time and daylight savings. They think they know it, but it is more than likely that either guy who proposed time or some of the audience will understand GMT incorrectly.

Better still, give local times for event in US (east, west maybe), UK and central europe.

Sorry but how do you work that one out? We're on BST right now mate! :)

It's 11:10 AM now not 10:10 GMT. :)

I agree though that we should use GMT to avoid confusion (not that I think it will - people always get confused!).

But if you're going to insist on using GMT or UTC, you gotta stop using US date formats too. ;)
