Perhaps server time can be added to the output of the IG command "time" to make it easier for people reading IG board posts about an RPT or discussing playtimes with the OOC command. But I don't see an urgent need for change.

Why did I not think of that?  I dig that idea.

This might sound super dorky....But the output for the current time command is very much IC...and having server time on it could breaks peoples immersion....they might not wanna know what time it is in the real world.  ???

Maybe a separate command though?

I don't always act superior... but when I do it's on the forums of a text-based game

Yeah, good point.

Maybe even... A way to put it in your prompt?

No, no.. Real pro's play without prompts. They break immersion after all. You can't reduce health or how tired you are to a fixed number, you have to RP it properly instead.

Humor aside, I have been tempted a few times to turn prompt off, but then I realize all the inevitable disasters that await me.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind this if there was a function in-game that could easily tell you the server time without needing to check the website.
