Hi Jochen, I play an MMO on a casual basis in my spare time (not WoW :P) and when making arrangements in that environment, many users seem to have become accustomed to simply using a 24 hour GMT expression. For example, "let's meet up on Saturday at 1900" and so on.
Most of us there are aware of how many hours ahead of or behind GMT we are and can convert locally for ourselves. For example, I wouldn't bother turning up to the above as I like to sleep in on Sunday mornings...

I can always send a meeting invite, but what if I want to use a time more casually? I've tried 2pm your time 2pm your time/ 4pm our time 4pm NZDT 2pm/4pm Which one is best?
