DST Time Change Issues Today (March 27th) - Don't Panic! CET->CEST = Server Time.

As most players who have been active for a year or more should already know, the game's server time follows the CET/CEST time zone (Paris, Madrid etc.) including the Daylight Saving Time changes twice a year. And every time, it messes with some in-game timers, but not others.

Today is a Sunday, Kinkoid staff don't work on weekends and so it's highly unlikely anything that needs to be fixed manually will be fixed until tomorrow, office hours in CEST (eg the time it is in Paris, France — although Kinkoid's offices are in Sofia).

So, yes we've had the following mostly minor issues this time around:

  1. Saturday's daily contest lasted 23 hours instead of 24.
     
  2. Daily Missions, Daily Goals and Daily Login Rewards started at 14:00 (new time) instead of 13:00.
     
  3. Sunday's daily contest started late (a bit after 14:00 CEST instead of the expected 13:30. The timer shows it will correctly end on Monday at 13:00 CEST (new time for the next 6 months or so), though, so it will be a bit shorter.
    IMPORTANT: LOG OUT AND BACK IN BEFORE YOU CAN SCORE POINTS IN THIS CONTEST.
     
  4. Some PoPs and other things were delayed and/or showed an unusual timer for a bit during the transition phase last night.
     
  5. The current League will be one hour shorter than usual (as the timer now correctly indicates it will end on Thursday at 13:00 CEST instead of CET, which would have ben 14:00 new time).
     
  6. Note that the weekly Blessings are scheduled to change tomorrow at 13:00 CEST (new time), so one hour earlier than you might expect if you live outside of the CET/CEST time zone (and/or if DST isn't synchronized between your time zone and the servers's).

For reference, from now on and always (except precisely twice a year when the CET time zone switches to and off of DST), the correct time zone to look at for anything in this game is always whatever time it is in Paris, France when you look. For some players living in other time zones, it means they'll need to adjust their habits a bit.

Please don't make Bug Reports about any of this, it's usual and minor and no refunds will be granted for any of the above. If someone asks, please point to this here thread. Everything is running fine, now. Thanks for your understanding.
