Thread: Server Depopulation

When does the Server Depopulate at night? I work night shifts, so I hardly ever pop onto the Server when I get off, since its normally 11 CST. So, when does everyone get off?

Usually by about 12am Pacific during the week. On the weekend usually to about 2am Pacific at the latest although sometimes it runs longer like last weekend we were still playing at 4am. Anyway, you can see the server history here:

And that's the normal time about every day? Alright. Means I can put in a couple hours after work with you guys, and most of the night when I don't work. Of course, other variables do apply, but I was just wondering if it was even worth the effort to try getting onto the server at all after work.

It's always worth the effort! :9 It's TTP!

But just keep in mind, what typically kills th :5e server around or after midnight is when/if it crashes and all the regs decide that it is time to go to bed instead of coming back in and helping get it started back up before leaving. Nothing more frustrating than being in a near full game with plenty of regs and then have a crash and come back to 6 players and you can't get it going again...VERY FRUSTRATING! :5

Take a look at the History/Graphs at Game Monitor for usage. It shows that the server is populated from about 8pm to 2am Central. :9

Oh yeah, I know about the crash effect. Happened on my clan server last night. I hopped on at around Midnight Pacific, TTP was empty, so I got on. 31/32 people. Game crashed about five minutes after I joined. When it was back up, we had just barely six people (Enough to start) and then four left. :5
