Players are usually spread all around the globe.
Conversion between player local time and UTC is simpler
than between player local time and server local time.
In particular when server local time jumps due to DST.

Using server local time is appropriate only for `local'
games. Configuration option? Might be too much hassle.

Work-around: set environment variable TZ to UTC. Good
enough to close this RFE?
