So today I was talking to someone via PalPad that I hadn't messaged in about 3 years when I noticed something that kinda seemed a little off:

For the dates in PalPad messages, it is formatted at YY/MM/DD, which seemed a little odd to me, but originally I chalked it up to different parts of the world having different date formatting since Riako is from Europe, so I didn't think anything of it. However, after looking at other places where the time and date are shown, I noticed something else:

On both the forums, as well as the registration dates, the dates are formatted as DD/MM/YY, which is the exact opposite of the PalPad.

What I'm proposing is a very simple change to make the dates a tad more consistent, which is to simply change the formatting of the PalPad dates to be more in line with the other places where the dates are shown. It isn't like this is anything gamebreakingly problematic, but I think it would not only help to make finding messages from a specific time a little easier, but also just make it look a little cleaner and help mine (and I'm sure plenty of others) OCD.

Does this mean that it has to be Date/Month/Year or Month/Date/Year only?

DD/MM/YY only, unless something gets added to let you change the date format to whatever you want
(ex: MM/DD/YY)

The switching up what date system used (m/d/y y/m/d d/m/y) makes it really confusing, especially when someone gets temp banned its impossible to guess which is being used

I prefer mm/dd/yy because who tf says 24th of may in casual conversation?

I do as an American (its not treasonous i swear), and while localized time formatting could be good, so europe sees dd/mm/yy, and the us sees mm/dd/yy, i feel like just one common one will be a bit easier, and since the game was created in germany, i feel theirs is more appropriate.

you hoity toity traitor I swear-
that aside, I agree its better written, but saying it is not as good as saying may 24th.
though I'd much rather have uniformity

While in germany we use DMY and YMD both depending on situation, i also prefer to use DMY everywhere. Or it might come to confusion.

I like this idea but instead of just making it DD/MM/YY it would need to be a setting you can change and set, that way no matter where you come from you can use the setting you're familiar with (in my case it is DD/MM/YY)
