What is the time ratio to RL : IG.
I think I read here somewhere that it is one month RL = 1 year IG.
Can someone please verify?

Two minutes of real time equals one hour of game time.

Many people roleplay their character's aging at an accelerated speed of x12 (1 game year = 1 real month). This is easy for keeping track of a character's age.
If you were to use the timescale that driller implemented then time flows at a speed of x30 and so 1 game year would equal roughly 12 real days. A few people may use this scale and can be useful if you are waiting for a character's offspring to mature into a playable character as the child would reach the age of 18 in just over 7 months (216 days). Unfortunately, human characters age frightfully fast at this speed and is a 90 year old in game after only 3 real world years.
There is no right or wrong timescale to use really. I prefer the x12 rate simply because it's easier to track and children characters take a little longer to mature which feels a bit more realistic to me. But that's just a personal opinion.

The only constant is change.
