Daylight Savings Time is already in effect for most of the US, but Europe will not switch their clocks until March 27th. The current offset between server time and UK time is 4 hours, but on Sunday it will once again be 5 hours. All events are listed in Eastern Daylight Time (-4 GMT)/server time, but an additional time zone is listed for EU server events. You may add events or post corrections in the comments section, but the fastest and best way to get it on this page is to submit a form. I’m always open to feedback and suggestions, both here and through the submissions form, so let me know if there’s something we should feature. Thanks for reading!
