1.UK or US?

Firstly, to uncover the whereabouts of Torn, we must delve into the game itself for any clues. Two contenders emerge from the evidence, ready to be unveiled. The following discourse shall shed light upon them.


1.1 Why it is considered located at the USA?


To begin with, Torn is situated in the United States. The game meticulously crafts the backdrop of its virtual world. Though the official sources do not explicitly disclose Torn's exact location, according to the chronicles found in the official news (It's called 'Torn City Times' ) , Torn is positioned somewhere along the coastal region of Louisiana and Texas.

And that will be Torn briefly located geographically.

But why this the golden rule will be questioned?



1.2 Why it is considered located in UK?

Indeed, the most glaring discrepancy lies in the time zone of Torn City.


If Torn is truly situated in Texas, United States, its time zone should be UTC-6(refer to photo A) . However, upon adjusting the game's display time settings(refer to photo B and C) , one would discover that Torn operates in the UTC+0 time zone. In this time zone, where English is the dominant language, only one country fits the bill: the United Kingdom(refer to photo D). Consequently, it seems that the official setting of the game aligns with the fact that Torn City's primary language is English.

So the conclusion of being in UK can be reached.

2.Estimating the cause of the contradiction


After considering everyone's opinions, I have come up with a few possible explanations:


1. The game was developed (and until recently, hosted) in the UK, which is why it uses UTC. Geographically, Torn City is located in the US.

However, this explanation does not clarify why the citizens of Torn use UTC+0 time instead of UTC-6. The developers could potentially adjust the game's time to make it more realistic.


2. Another possibility is that the game simply overlooked this aspect, and as a result, it does not take into account the time zone differences.

However, this explanation does not provide a reason for why the game's time was set up by the developers.





Welcome for discussion below. Thanks for viewing this article.

The maps of the world change hue so fleet

Like fiery sparks that in darkness meet

Once proud factions to ashes fall below

From wreckage new powers their roots embed and grow

A folk shall flourish then begin decline
Their greatest foe is not battles align
Nor potent forces who struggle for reign
'Tis time itself, marching ever again

On life's road I've seen companions part ways
Friend after friend without warning they strays
Each vanishes lone without goodbye or gaze behind
And thus I see this path a harsh fight time

Some fought quietly for seasons threefold more
Some were laid low but up again they soar
Some around me paid with their final breath
And most just called to arms met speedy death

As for me, in obscurity my days wane
Times quick change leaves me no place to remain
What role remains I can try to fulfill?
To journey through time mortals' common drudgery still

My little boat floats drifting on waters wide

Warring the waves as they surge side to side
Sailing ahead to where time meets its end
A lone voyager 'gainst the floods I defend

Hello everyone :)
I'd like to buy trainings everydays in long-term for boosting up my working stats. Please DM if interest. Thank you.

I want to buy trains.

Price per train is 200.000 (2 mil per 10 trains)

My current stats are 283Man, 640 Int, and 951End.

I want 10k Int, 6k End and 2,5k man, to be able to rush the Education and Medical city jobs. I would like at least 5 trains a day, but more is always good. If I like the company's specials (high star AN, Sweet Shop or some travelling boost) I might want to pay a bit more. PM me if you think you can do this for me.
