can't some sort of GLOBAL server side timer be build INTO server code istelf?
which will start when server itself is started (regardless if any zones have been booted or not) and then ALL zone will read time from that timer
in other words, tie timer to SERVER itself not to any zone in specific
OR as a cheap solution- make zones read time of current PC time and convert into EQ
since eq day is what 2 hours? then 11.30 am will be 6pm game time
