During what times is it night?

[teh-peter@hotmail.co.uk 0]

I'm in UK where it's 13:53, and it's bright daylight outside... and as I understand when it's night time where the server is hosted, it's night time in the game?

So I joined a UK server and it was night time?

So, which server do I need to join for it to be day time? :P

I think your best bet is to hop on one of the American East coast severs, they arent too far from you and SHOULD be daylight.

Many servers have time settings included in their name, some servers change their timezone, so people joining in the evenings can experience a few hours daylight. Some server have delayed time a couple of hours, others have reversed the day/night cycle.

These servers usually have UTC+3 or UTC+9 included in their server name.

What you need to do is stop aiming for the servers that are half empty. Go for the full ones and wait for a slot.

As mentioned the server time is solely up to the people running the server. You can find servers with both day and nighttime locally - some people just prefer playing daytime and have work till late so they can't normally play during daytime.

You'll only know once you've joined a server, there are so many out there and even if they have GMT +/- in their description, you can't even be sure of that, because sometimes it gets reverted by reboots etc.
