Local time!

[Jerricka]

Is there an addon that'll let me convert the Blizzard Calendar times to local? I am on Pacific Time, which is 3 hours behind the server time. It wasn't a big deal before, but now that I'm in a guild 10-man group for ICC it's been confusing.

The raid time is 1:00AM server, which in my case is 10:00PM. So of course a raid that's at 10 on Wednesday (my time) shows up in Thursdays' (server time) box. Not a horrible thing, but it'd be more comprehensible to me to just know I'm raiding on Wednesday, not Thursday.

I use post-its.

Using GetGameTime() get's the server time(of the pysical server), using time() or date() returns local time.

Does clicking "24 hour time" in the in-game time manager have any effect?

Edit: Oops, meant local time, what Seerah said.

That only changes from am/pm to the 24 hour format.
Example, it changes 1:00pm to 13:00

The in-game time manager (clock) also has a setting to toggle between server and local time. Though, I'm not sure if that will affect the calendar. Worth a try, though, if you don't have "use local time"(?) checked yet.

Nope it doesn't Seerah. I always had both times showing and calendar still showed server time. But after a few years of needing to know time differences it became second nature to add 6 hrs to server time to get my time.

Unless they changed it in 3.3.
