    Daylight savings time

    Just wondering if someone messed up the time in Settlers world? I'm sure the update was due to start at 8am...

    Does BB not know when it is BST

    So here I am merrily playing...and up pops the server shut down message.

    I ignore it, the message on the homepage could not be clearer, '8 BST'

    Ok so there is word word 'approximately' Is 7 am aprox to 8 BST ????

    So WHEN exactly is shut down today? The usual 7 - 11 seems likely. Can someone please change the homepage.

    yes they did - BB seem to have become confused by BST and started an hour earlier than their stated time

    "Start: Approx. 08:00 BST
    End: Approx. 12:00 BST"

    The servers went down at around 7am BST!

    mid way through a final attack on my YWC!

    has bb ever heard of customer service? if ur not careful you'll be getting a reputation of just not caring about ur client base.

    Oh Wait! just like the changes that need to be made on the homepage... it's too late!

    If NASA can do it, so can BB!

    "The Mars Climate Orbiter (formerly the Mars Surveyor '98 Orbiter) was a 338-kilogram (745 lb) robotic space probe launched by NASA on December 11, 1998 to study the Martian climate, Martian atmosphere, and surface changes and to act as the communications relay in the Mars Surveyor '98 program for Mars Polar Lander. However, on September 23, 1999, communication with the spacecraft was lost as the spacecraft went into orbital insertion, due to ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-force seconds (lbf·s) instead of the SI units of newton-seconds (N·s) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed. The spacecraft encountered Mars on a trajectory that brought it too close to the planet, causing it to pass through the upper atmosphere and disintegrate."

    When it comes to the guild quests BB does not use summer time - but when it comes to maint they have summer time +1 hour it seems. The summer time always confuse me - but seems they started this at 7 GMT summer time,- that is 6 GMT real time.
    If for some reason support feels the need to edit what I wrote, please delete entire post instead, dont put words into my mouth that I never said.
