It seems -- from casual observations, so someone will have to confirm this -- that one Cantr day is still equivalent to one real-world day: the clock seems to tick three times slower than real life. So, every three real-world hours will result in one in-game hour 'ticking over'. Minutes (and seconds: there are still 60 of these), thereby, last almost twice as long as in RL (they are are really 36/60'th of a second long: a little bit longer than twice as long.)

Cantr Time revolves around a slightly different system than the real world: 20 days to a year, 8 Cantr-hours per day, each of which is 36 Cantr-minutes long. The current Cantr-time can be found at the top of any player or character page, once you have logged in.

Cantr/Real-World time

One Cantr-day is equivalent to one real-world day. So, every three real-world hours will result in one Cantr-hour 'ticking over'. Each Cantr-minute is equivalent to five real-world minutes. Cantr-years are used only for role playing purposes and character aging.

Time References

A Cantr-date is a daily-incrementing number. Time and dates are referred to in a format such as "1247-7". This indicates that it is the 7th hour of the 1247th day.

Reoccurring Events

Each Cantr-day begins at hour zero which occurs at real-time 2:00 GMT. Each CH then begins every three hours, on the hour, thereafter (Cantr-hour 1 begins at 5:00 GMT, Cantr-hour 2 at 8:00 GMT, and so on).

Each day your character will auto-eat at approximately 5:24:00 Cantr-time (19:00 GMT).

Progress on the projects in which your character is participating will occur each hour at approximately twelve Cantr-minutes past the hour.
