This might not matter on other servers but chat is usually empty for hours on Utopia and I'm not always paying attention to it. So when I do and I see an announcement about an event that is happening that doesn't have a timestamp and just says it's happening "in 30 minutes" I have no reference as to when that 30 minutes is. So I go to join the event to find out it's been over for hours. So if we can build it in that every event announcement says it's happening at X EMC Time, that'd be helpful.
When a player says something in chat, you can hover over the name in order to give you the time it was said.
ah okay, that's helpful. I still don't see why the EMC time can't be mentioned. Maybe say it's happening in 30 minutes and put the EMC time in parentheses?
You're referring to staff broadcasts, I assume? Most staff do put the EMC time in their announcements, and the starting time can be found on the forums for nearly all events.
