Because UTC doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time.

Enjoy the confusion, courtesy of Nexon America.

    Hence why there wasn't a Daylight Saving Time Maintenance this March.

    It hasn't changed. It's still midnight UTC.
    However, since the United States moved to Daylight Savings Time, and UTC never moves, the time difference between UTC and people in the US has changed.

    I wouldn't say it's just the US. Canada is also affected by this too, and whoever is turning the clocks.

    It does lead to confusion though since this is a first for us Maplers. But the real problem is if Nexon can handle it, and we've seen those results before...

    I'm okay with this, since it means that server time will only change when my own time changes, and not when PST changes, and then again back when my time changes like a few weeks later.
    But yes, it's too complicated because Nexon hasn't changed all events and sales to UTC as well, so those will still become confusing as all hell.

    technical details aside, that's what i meant. -- the reset time changed again, for those who are affected by daylight savings
