For me, I am advocating that Metaverse time be expressed in UTC with OpenSim. To try to at least set an example, things like "Office Hour" on OSGrid will stay at 1900UTC regardless of that the daylight (or lack thereof) do.

Things seem to be slightly more complex. Apparently, you just get the SL time <i>wrong</i> IF you're currently living in a place that did <i>not</i> change to daylight savings today (March 8 ) — ie. basically the whole world except for the US and Canada. This might also be different from SL client to SL client. A few might have this fixed. I've done a simple check using an in-world script: it definitely shows the <i>correct</i> time, called from the servers. It's just the SL client that displays it wrongly! So, Crap, your clocktower might continue to work fine... Oh my. I guess I'll have to start telling people the time in UTC... Mmmh. Things seem to be slightly more complex.
