Because California observes daylight saving time, game time varies with respect to GMT throughout the year. Game time is GMT-8 in the winter months (from the first Sunday of November to the second Sunday of March). Game time is GMT-7 in the summer months (second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November). Here is the schedule of events each day:

  • 0:00: Prestige missions change.
  • 2:00: The login cookie within your web browser expires. If you play Spiral Knights through your web browser, post to the forums on the Spiral Knights web site, or edit the wiki on that site, then you must log in again. If you are playing the game when the cookie expires, then your play is not interrupted.
  • 5:00: The game servers reboot. This process takes only a minute or two, but it does interrupt your play.
  • 20:00: The gates in the Arcade cycle — not every night, but every second night. The west-most active gate disappears, all gates shift to the left, and a new dormant gate appears at the east end.
