    Reset is at 5pm.

    The current server time is UTC

    Er, isn't it 4pmPST?
    Cause reset is 5pm for me, and I'm in MST (+1hr).
    But yes, the fact the server runs on UTC is correct.

    I don't know what this UTC is, probably European or something idk, I HATE IT WITH A BURNING PASSION.
    Rant ahead;
    Honestly, when i came back to the game after a huge hiatus, I just gave up on the time aspect of the game.
    It seriously changes to the next day in the afternoon where I am apparently!
    I have no idea what is going on half the time.
    2x exp and drop just VANISHES and appears again a bit later, giving me a time period of when it's on.. from 12 PM where?! WHAT?!

    Is it REALLY that difficult to make the American servers based on PST and the European servers based on.. uh.. European time..? Er.. but they have multiple timezones too.. er.. UTC?!

    *deep breath*

    Listen. It took me long enough to figure out how to convert PST over to EST (my time), and they went and changed it to a timezone I've never heard of.
    I can't even figure out what time it is for the life of me.
    Yeah, I'm dumb, whatever I don't care.

    I hate UTC.
    I will find out who decided this was a good idea.. *google*
    ..Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM)! EAT PANT
    BAD FRANCE. BAD. REEEEEEE---
    *sob*
    Just let me go back to my dumb American ways of doing things
    Actually..
    I hate time. Can we just like.. get rid of time itself? Please? It would be so much easier.

    UTC = Coordinated Universal Time.
    Personally, love it. Don't have to wait till like 1/2am in the morning for resets.

    UTC isnt a eu timezone, you could say it's "the worlds time" as it does not observe Daylight savings, so when ther rest of the world that observes daylight savings changes it's clocks for summer, reset will happen 1 hour later (when UTC is at 0:00) and when we change for winter it will be 1 hour earlier (when UTC is 0:00)

    Yeah, it's at 4pm pst, I'm also an hour ahead, so I mix it up occasionally.
