In Lineage II every maybe 2 hours at the bottom it'll say.

You have been playing for 2 hours, we reccommend you taking a break.

Something along those lines. Everytime I used to see it i'd be like,"Holy crap 2 hours already?!"

adjust your screen settings, i have my window @ full screen but with my task bar viewable, this allows me access to webpages, TIME, etc without having to ALT TAB

just a thought.......

GW time 3:30 am.

It wouldnt matter what the game time is anyway, it would just be used for events etc. They could just say its sunny all the time, because of where the sun is positioned at this time of the year

So your telling me that tyria is at one of the polar ice caps? Or that this earth doesn't rotate around the sun?

I have the same problem, 5 mins turns into hours!

UrikoBB3 · Jan 11, 2006, 03:01 PM // 15:01

Good idea, my watch is broke, and my 20 minutes always turns into a few hours.

On Phantasy Star Online, they used 'internet time', which used a universal timing system, supposedly to make it easier to meet up with people from around the world. It didn't really take off, as everyone just used timezones instead.

But yeah, an in-game clock would be nice.

ya kinda hard to find out the time without minimazing the game. in other games /time works and its great.

In the meantime this works nicely (for all Direct X games)Teamspeak Overlay

It's primarily for use with Teamspeak, so you can tell who is talking. It has a clock display feature, which works fine without teamspeak installed, so you can use it just for the clock alone (just go into the options and turn everything off, turn on the clock)

If you allow for a /time command, then you have to consciously think about checking the time, which would be the same as looking at a clock. So that command would be pointless.

And I'd rather not have the time showing on my GUI, it's just another thing that would distract from playing.

But, if ANET ever does institue a /time command, I'd prefer it to be so that if I type:

"/time on" It would turn on the in game clock, viewable on the interface.
or
"/time off" It would turn off the in game clock, removing it from the interface.

Put an hour and minute hand on the compass

Thats what i said, have it set to F10 or something, so that people can turn it on/off. Everyone wins that way

What I'd like to see is a clock with Timezone options. Seeing as I live in New Zealand (and we have daylight savings, backwards seasons etc) it's often hard to know what time it is for the other people playing GW i.e. my Guild members.
Have it as part of the customisable interface with a small drop down menu like the town disticts bar.
