Can we have one 24/7 daytime server?

Hi everyone!

I was wondering as to why both servers must have night time on them during the day time (european time) ? The servers are always almost empty during this time, referring to 6 AM - 12 PM noon (EST). This timeframe is equivalent to 12 PM noon - 6 PM (central European time) which makes it afternoon and is a time when alot of europeans are awake and playing, yet the teamplayergaming servers all have night time on them and the amount of players basically is always between a low 10-20, if even that. I think if daytime was re-established to be 24/7 that could attract more european players, as well as players from the more eastern part of the world. If this could be done on atleast 1 server - since there are now 2 servers up and running.

Personally I think the teamplayergaming servers are the best servers out there and thats why I would like to play on them during the daytime european time, in daytime settings. Basically its like this, when the americans are playing (due to their timezone) the server is always on daytime, and when the americans go to/or are sleeping, the servers goes into night-time. And the player numbers drop dramatically as the servers goes into night time.

Btw guys, if the majority of players want it this way because they like to play that way, then of course ignore my request
(although I have a difficulty seeing 12-13 people being the majority), and if the admins who pay for the server want it this way because they like to play that way, then of course ignore my request.

The reason as to why I brought this up is because there is always such a low amount of players occupying the servers at this moment when its night time on it, and its always like this, day in and day out.

Seeing that there are 2 teamplayergaming servers up and running right now, could we atleast make 1 of them to be a 24/7 daytime server so that the europeans can play in daytime as well (during european daytime), I dont see the point in having both of them be night time servers yet only holding 20-25 slots occupied (combined) out of 100 on a daily basis.

Keep in mind guys, you could easily fit the players who play during night time settings (on both servers combined) - into 1 server and still have 50% of the server empty - 25 empty player slots on a daily basis. Its such a waste having them both run night time. A waste of time,money,effectivity & teamplay, but also a big loss in variety since there are now 2 servers.

Note.Thanks for great smooth servers.

Hey Karim, we have the servers to restart every 6 hours (meaning it should be daylight 24/7), but we are having issues with our service/program manager. This should be fixed sometime soon.

When is this going to be fixed? and couldn't admins just manually reset it?

Anytime the server goes into night without restarting just post that the server needs a scheduled restart and has moved into night time here

An admin will see the post and restart the server manually. Thanks for the help.

I think it would be nice if when the server resets the starting time in game is early morning. Not quite the need for NVG but early enough to be visually interesting. This engine is really nice looking and it shame we only see perfect afternoon all the time.

Server 2 is late as fuck tonight, maybe we could spawn with NVG's for when this happens. It's so dark you can't see anything, ridiculous!

**BigHub** · 08-08-13, 09:37 AM

The current settings were at 1PM in-game when the server starts up... I pushed it back to where it will be 9am in-game when it starts.
