You could always play in windowed mode, even with the game occupying the entire screen you'll still have the taskbar and the clock on it in the lower right corner.

Then press the KEY you designated any time you want to see what time it is. The time from your computer's clock will appear in your chat window.

I too wish there was a clock built-in somewhere in the HUD. I sub to that Other Rather Large MMOG and like the on-screen clock it provides. I've often wished CoX had that feature too.|

However, like the other poster suggested, I play CoX in windowed mode, which makes the Windows clock easy to access in your task bar (assuming your OS is Windows). Something you might give a try.
Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

Can you macro that with the wait emote and have the time display in a chat bubble? That would be neato. I would use that on every character I have.

Usually when I'm playing, I keep my wristwatch nearby so I can just look over at it when I want to know what time it is. But I'll have to try that slash command the next time I'm in game. Thanks!

On a side note, I think that remark would have been more deserving in the Villain Names thread. This one was too easy. lol

The reason the "simple" clock request hasn't been granted is probably the same reason you never find one in a casino, or departmentstore; if you don't see how much time you've spent readily playing it's harder for people to regulate "oh I'm only going to play 30 minutes each day so I don't get addicted [I lol at parents with those rules 
]".
People have argued that since it's subscription based their ideal would be you paying and spending a lot of time out of game. But on the contrary, if you're "out" too long you could grow bored and cancel.

All "video lottery" (cause we don't have non-N.A.T. casinos, and slot machines are only in casinos in Oregon so they can't be in the restaurant or bar) are required to display the time somewhere on each game screen :P
