When you do !time it should tell ya AO time

Rsbot: It is currently 08:37:27 July 8, 29482 Rubi-Ka Universal Time.

No, which is pretty much intentional.

There is no decent way for php to figure out what your local timezone is (that I've found anyway.) Also, the bots logging and just about everything that deals with time is going by UTC time.

So i guess php can't even check the system clock or something?

Yes it can. "date" checks the local system time and takes in account of timezone settings on the server. But it may be that Bebot is setup to use UTC as timezone as thats what AO operates in.

PHP can check the system clock on the server it is running on (not any game servers) but not on the client - this means that the bot is not aware of the time zone your guild mates are in (which may not be the same as your or the servers time zone).

It is possible to modify the bot so that your members can manually change their own time zone, but this would only work correctly if displayed in tells (the guild chat would need to be a single timezone) or to be able to set a time zone for the bot, but this would require significant changes throughout the bot and any module that displays the time.

Far better, imho, to consistently display the time in UTC and let your members work out the difference themselves.

no it checks the server it is running on - I used the wrong terminology there.

I'm sorry but i just can't see the logic here, if it check the time on server why can't it check the real time on the server and not gmt?

File: core/Time.php Line: 74

change:
$output = "It is currently ".gmdate("H:i:s F j,");

to:
$output = "It is currently ".date("H:i:s F j, Y");

gmdate() returns only GMT. date() uses the configured timezone
