....however, looking at your achievements you will see the dates displayed as they would be in America.
In Europe we are resonable and use this system:
Days < Months < Years
In America they do it different:
Months > Days < Years
- Which makes no sense at all.
Why do I have to look at this illogical system when I play in EU ?
Because not all European countries use the same date format I suppose, and this would create even more confusion than necessary. Also, there are enough locale differences they need to deal with between the enGB and enUS client, so having the same date format likely makes it easier to maintain the code base of the game. |

Europe = International = use that damn ISO format! (international) This isn't the only game that doesn't use an international date format, and this is an American game at the end of the day. If they used our date format, it would likely create confusion amongst players over at their side as well. Nobody wins with these things. |

The difference is that our client was designed to be used to connect to European realms, and European realms only. I have oftimes seen (on the technical support forum) users getting problems trying to use the same client to connect to both regions (whether its enUS or enGB) - the game data becomes corrupted as a result which is why its not supported... no matter how you edit the config files. This is what I meant by "locale differences".
Interesting to know :p |

Not everyone though, but some did especially since Cata. ;p |
