There should be a similar thread somewhere around here, with a few us mentioning the same thing. The servertime on servers (the timevar2 variable to be precise) is far from always accurate most of the time.

If it's just the timezone being off, its probably right. Since then it's most likely the correct time of the server location. Though, on alot of u/c servers, it's off by minutes aswell, which basically sucks.

On the login server the time is 8 minutes behind according to my clock.

Don't be a smart ass. The timevar2 variable is off by 7 minutes, 34 minutes, 1 hour and 45 minutes, and even sometimes up to several hours. It changes it's accuracy more often then I change socks.

I was not being a smart ass, I'm sorry that I don't assume my almighty pc clock is exactly the right time, The server time has always been right for me when i've seen it and I don't think its that big of a deal anyways.
(sorry about bringing this back someone neg repped me in here using caps to start every word and didn't leave a name)

It's a huge deal for servers that want to have any form of dynamic world that triggers/change things depending on what time it is.

Yes, because having to manually modify a timevar2 every other day when it decides to spontaniously change is so optimal.

You don't seem the understand the issue.

Graal's built-in timevar2 variable changes itself from time to time to what appears as completely random values - there's only one thing that can fix it, and that's Stefan looking into it.

Rephrasing what Ziro said, Graal's time (used by scripts to tell time) is off. There's no way for a script to tell whether the time is off, because that's the only reference for time the script has, unless it wants to load data from a website or something.
