Instead of posting things like:
"Saturday, March 17, 2018

PDT: 1:30 AM – 2:30 AM & 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM & 10:00 PM – 11:00 PM

Available in both Reboot and non-Reboot worlds."

Users should be able to set their time zone in preferences and the website can be coded to display one time that is specific to the user. That way the people who don't live in the time zones that currently get listed don't have to convert the given time to their time.

    this is a helpful tool

    https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20180317T220000&p1=tz_pt&p2=tz_mt&p3=tz_et&p4=tz_cet&p5=tz_aet

    you can even click the UTC check box to add UTC (server time) display

    what you are asking is not impossible but would require reworking how both the website works and how posts work, and that would be more effort than it's worth.

    a better Idea is that they use either a 3rd party time sheet / converter to display event times and the user can select a timezone for that to be converted to or nexon makes their own special time sheet that does the same.

    I was thinking the same... specialy for timed quests. I never know when they start at my place. I was thinking the game should have the in-game time and not mine. So when they post about an event at a certain time I don't have to convert my time to that... I would just check the in-game clock that has that time displayed.
