This is probably Impossible but hey, worth a shot.  The time command currently displays local time.  To save us all getting confused (which happens reasonably often) with different Timezones could we not implement a sub command, such as:

 /time GMT

/time PDT

/time EST

 

That would display the time in different time zones.  I'm sure it would be very helpful for such a small addition.

Yes that will be very useful for getting to events at the right time if you don't know how to convert one time zone to another.

To simplify with an example:

If the Pacific Time is 12:00...

Mountain Time 13:00 (+1 hour)
Central Time 14:00 (+2 hours)
Eastern Time 15:00 (+3 hours)
Greenwich Mean Time 20:00 (+8 hours)

Gents... too much thought into this...

create /mxotime

Schedule all events to mxotime.

Simple yet effective.

Yeah would be nice to have a /time MXO

It would make events easier to catch without just disregarding it because it says some random timezone

Well the biggest problem with /time atm is how it only reads what is set on your PC, it wouldnt suprise me people could set a date and time on their PC to show something in game based on date and well it might not be the true date. So having 1 central time would be ideal.
