Hey Blizzard, Europians are tired of converting every sever maintenance time from PST, PDT to GMT.
Here in Europe, we do not have AM and PM, please respect that. Thank you.
One) Blizzard doesn't read these forums.
Two) Could they also post times for Eastern Daylight Time? I hate subtracting, especially by 3. And for people in Asia, and Australia/NZ, post their times to. Actually, just list out every timezone in the world, seeing its a world-wide game. Try to catch all the inconsistencies in time zones too, and different ways of writing the times. So maybe more like 30 different times shown. That should help. Much better than math.

I think his main complaint is the AM/PM... which is why i said the guy just need to learn to add +12 to get the 24 hour clock.
Why should i math? I am mathing that bloody PDT and PST to GMT from September 2011! I have bought game in Europe and i want Europian time zone! Im posting this to official forums.
I'm still trying to make my american friends stop using that weird medieval-style king-sized Imperial unit system.
Maybe next century...
Oh, I want us to go even further with it! Hands per hour, please!
Actually, I like King Sized. Can we go Queen sized? As in the standard unit of distance is the height of the Queen? That she isn't our Queen would make even less sense, and is therefore even better. Or, if possible, Beard-Seconds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of_measurement#Beard-second
Why can't they just go off your computer time? I'm sick of PDT too. I wake up at 6am on my days off. So when Blizz is like 8am PDT, I'm like - ok cool, I can get some laundry and errands done in two hours... but it's not two hours, it's actually 4 hours. And now it's 11:00AM PDT, which is 1PM for me. There goes my day off. What a waste of a day off.
My house is clean, my errands are done, my boyfriend is at work. What to do for the next 3 hours... Netflix or summer tan?
When a European company develops a game that Americans care about, you can have your revenge. Deal?

I grew up gaming without internet forums. The entire phenomenon of being upset with a game developer makes no sense to me. No sense. I cannot imagine spending my time and energy being upset about something I choose to do for recreation.
Except for the fact that your D/M/Y is an arbitary pyramid that has no actual merit...
And your Celcius scale is also arbitrarily based on Freeze - Boil... What makes the 2 states of water so important that its somehow vastly better than farenheit?
In total complete honesty, I believe farenheit is a better system. We actually have a wider scale allowing for greater accuracy in discussing a particular temperature. The difference between 70-75 is alot larger than you think.
you do know the PDT time is for the US forums and the US forum post? the EU version will have CEST times when it goes up
ps: on the days month thing, there are only 12 months while a minimum of 28 days in a month, 28 > 12 (if you want to start pulling things out =P) but its all pointless out off topic to this post
PDT is for US in a US post. wait for the EU one ( which im sad to see that its not up yet)

Freeze = solid
Boil = evaporating
thats why its based on that
The pyramid is logical
Days are smaller than months which are smaller than years.
The difference between 28 and 29 is quite big as well dude
There are 30 days to 12 months to Infinite years. explain to me how that pyramid makes any fucking sense in scale?
Water boiling and evaporating is just ONE state of matter. We could just as logically base all our scales off the temperatures at which hydrogen solidifies and turns to gas? My point is your argument about having a solid 100 base is irrelevant.

Sorry if the sarcasm from my post was not dripping off the words as well as I intended. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Do some math!
Maybe next century...

Because really, the "math" skills it takes to convert 12-hour to 24-hour time... Yeah... Pretty sure we learned that sometime in third grade.
EDIT: Oh, so the timezones are the problem? Then I apologize, thought it was about AM/PM:D

Dude, we paid for this 50 Euros, please do not be American.

Dude we saved europe from war two times .... please don't be european ;).]
^--- See what i did there... took a totally irrelevant fact and tried to make an argument. Just like you did.
I bought 2 copies = Standard * 2 = 120. (got one for my wife).
utterly useless, but entirely beautiful
