Time Zones
- "GMT" redirects here. For the zombie strike team, see The GMT Breakfast Club.
A time zone is an area of the Earth that has adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as the local time by the residents who live there. Most time zones are exactly one hour apart, and by convention compute their local time as an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) (Also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)).
In any Multiplayer Game, it is important to know what timezone any given time is in effort to coordinate with other players around the globe. In UrbanDead, most references will be to Greenwich Mean Time or British Summer Time (BST)
Table of Known Timezones
Note1: This list is incomplete, but accurate. For example, "IST" refers to more than one time zone. Please add information as you find it, rather than replace existing information.
Note2: Single letter abbreviations refer to Military Time Zones. As such, their "Full Name" refers to the Military Phonetic Letter of that abbreviation. For Example: "India Time Zone", the full name of "I" refers to the time zone marked by that letter, and has nothing to do with the country of India.
