i was wondering since im not from the us, what time are the NA servers @ in pst.
because some events with a ingame messenger that state a time.
like Nurka's messenger he says the next visit of my master will be at 23:00 2006/03/3.
Would be nice to know what time that is :P.
So what PST timezone is the server in.

All events are now CST.

thats weird cuz im @ gmt +1 and according to timezones cst = gmt-6 that would mean 23:00 ( 11pm ) would be @ 4pm..... last time we killed nurka it was around 4-5am

right. you just screwed up your math. 11pm cst = 4am (+6 timezones).

Correct, GMT-6 means that CST is 6 hours behind GMT, so if the raid is 11pm CST.... 5am GMT.

Don't forget that pesky Daylight-Saving adjustment also.

CST = Central Standard Time = GMT-6
CDT = Central Daylight Time = GMT-5

Central Time Zone is only GMT-6 from Spring to Fall, it becomes Central Daylight Time for the rest of the year, which is GMT-5.

Here is a pretty good resource that explains much about Daylight Saving Time: http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html
