Dark War: Survival Server Time, and how to convert it
Every timed thing in Dark War: Survival is announced in Server Time. Your phone is not. That gap is the reason alliances miss their own rallies, players log in an hour after a window closed, and event reminders quietly drift twice a year when daylight saving moves.
What Server Time actually is
Server Time — ST — is one shared clock across the game. Resets, event phases, alliance duel scoring windows and rally timers are all expressed in it, so two players on opposite sides of the world reading “20:00 ST” are reading the same moment. It is not your local time, and it does not follow the timezone your device is set to.
Why the conversion trips people up
- Mixed units in one message. A leader posts an event in their local time while the game shows ST; half the alliance converts, half does not.
- Daylight saving. ST does not move, so your local equivalent shifts by an hour when your country changes clocks — and countries change on different dates.
- Cross-continent alliances. A time that is convenient in one hemisphere is 3am in another. Seeing several cities at once is the only way to schedule fairly.
Using the converter
The ATLANTIS HUB Server Time converter handles both directions. Enter an ST time to get your local clock, or enter your local time to get the ST value you should post to your alliance. Results are calculated with real timezone rules, so the daylight saving offset is correct for the specific date rather than a fixed number of hours. Cities you follow can be pinned so a whole alliance roster is visible at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Dark War: Survival Server Time?
- Server Time, usually written as ST, is the single clock the game uses for every schedule: daily resets, event windows, alliance duel phases and rally calls. It is the same for every player regardless of where they live, which is what makes shared alliance scheduling possible.
- How do I convert Dark War Server Time to my timezone?
- Enter the ST time on the ATLANTIS HUB Server Time converter and it returns the matching moment in your device's timezone, with the correct daylight saving offset applied for the date you picked. You can also convert in the other direction, from your local clock into ST.
- Why is the event time in game different from the time my alliance posted?
- Almost always because one of them was written in local time and the other in ST, or because one side has just moved on or off daylight saving. Posting the ST time and letting each member convert it removes the ambiguity.
- Does Server Time change with daylight saving?
- ST itself does not shift. What shifts is your local clock, so the local equivalent of an 8:00 ST event can move by an hour twice a year even though the event never moved.
