Server time
Every timed event in DYNASTIES runs on one clock, and it is not yours. When an announcement
says the Guild Beast is released at 20:45, that is 20:45 server time — the same moment for
every player, whatever country they are logging in from.
Server time is UTC.
That is the choice on purpose. UTC never shifts for daylight saving, so an event that runs at 20:45
today runs at 20:45 in December, and nobody has to re-learn the schedule twice a year.
Converting to your own clock
| Your timezone | 20:45 server time is |
|---|---|
| UTC (London, winter) | 20:45 |
| UTC+1 (London summer, Lisbon) | 21:45 |
| UTC+2 (Berlin, Paris, Rome — summer) | 22:45 |
| UTC+3 (Moscow, Istanbul) | 23:45 |
| UTC−5 (New York, winter) | 15:45 |
| UTC−4 (New York, summer) | 16:45 |
| UTC−8 (Los Angeles, winter) | 12:45 |
| UTC+8 (Singapore, Manila) | 04:45 next day |
| UTC+10 (Sydney, winter) | 06:45 next day |
The quickest check is to search the web for "UTC now" — the result is server time.
You mostly do not have to do the maths
Two places do the conversion for you:
- Discord. Times posted by the DYNASTIES bot render in your own timezone automatically, and
countdowns tick down live. If you want to know when the next event starts, that is the place to
look — no conversion needed. - In game. Event announcements state the timezone alongside the time, so a bare number is never
left for you to guess at.
What runs on the clock
| Event | When |
|---|---|
| Guild Beast | released daily 20:45, retreats 21:45 (while a guild has paid tribute) |
| Saturday World Boss | Saturdays at 20:00 |
| Seasonal festivals | run across whole calendar dates |
Events that are not on the clock — Kylin Nights, Monster Invasions, pop-up events, world boosts —
fire on their own timers rather than at a fixed hour, so there is nothing to convert. Watch the
announcements or the Discord feed for those.
Event cards read in elapsed time
The DYNASTIES bot posts each event as a card that fills in as the event unfolds. Its timeline is
written as elapsed time, not clock time:
start Monster Invasion — wave 1 of 3! 24 TitanTroll(s) mass outside CentralPlain.
+3m FINAL WAVE! 40 TitanTroll(s) break through outside CentralPlain.
+5m ThunderLord leads the invasion! Bring it down before it reaches CentralPlain!
+8m The invasion breaks, and the survivors melt back into the wilds.
That reads the same for everybody and tells you the shape of the fight at a glance — how long the
boss took to arrive, how long the whole thing ran. The absolute start time sits above the card, in
your own timezone.
