To make things more fair for those items that respawn with specific server restarts, how about we suggest that CCP change the time of the daily system restart to say 22:00 GMT - that way when I get off work here in the US, I can come home and log in to eve-online and mine all those nice fresh roids before the folks in the other hemisphere have cleared them out ... If at first you don't succeed, then give up -- no sense making a damn fool of yourself. :-) |

If the server reset time was changed to accommodate you then someone else would be complaining about wanting it changed to match them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and its the perfect time for me cos i either get out of bed just before the down time or are about to go to college. So it lets me change my skill and it wont mess around with any of my play time. So no, im sticking with the time it is now.

Uhhh, what? Why would they go into work at ten o clock at night to do something they do at mid-day normally? Just because you want to do some mining and think you're better than people in "the other hemisphere". _______________________________________________ Mercenary Forces |

A better idea would be to move yourself.

a cycling downtime would be interesting. say 3 hour increments over 7 days and reset to standard time on sunday.
but i am fine without that just saying it could be interesting.

I have to agree - it would be interesting to have the downtime cycling but as others have also pointed out, it not likely to be received to well by CCP - specifically the person that would have to restart the servers at 3:00am their time.
Thanks for the view points and opinions! If at first you don't succeed, then give up -- no sense making a damn fool of yourself. :-) |

A cycling downtime would be a horrible idea. You'd never really know when it would be off next time, unless you played every day. It would also seriously frell up CCP's server tech support schedule. Those responsible for immediate startup server issues would really hate you for cycling shifts.

With all due respect... did you forget that there are time zones around the planet?
CCP Won't do it.. its likely they picked that time because its the least amount of traffic load. And its conveniently timed during non-business hours for an atypical office.

Sorry, but the DT is a nice reminder for me to go to bed. So while a 22:00 DT won't stop me playing, it will mean I risk staying up all night. ---------------------------------------------- I support skill queues. |

I like it the way it is -even after having gotten down to the last 1 & 1/2 battle ships in one of my very first level 4 combat missions.
I was booted off of the server due to the scheduled down time and was not up for starting back from square one the next day. I bailed out of that mission. I was in a battle cruiser and had already lost one to the mission. The word sucks comes to mind. |

ccp will not change the time that the downtime happens because it is designed to help the devs not players

you fail
its doable,the test server had many downtimes around 01:00 or 02:00 am gmt so 12hrs after regular tq downtime
its some logic behind that kind of proposal because euro players pays more than us players cause 1 euro > 1 dollar. If you paying more then you want more

Server downtime is roughly in the middle of the workday at the locations where the server and CCP are. You really wouldn't want a downtime as the first thing in their workday while they're all still drowsy, and you certainly wouldn't want it when most of the people that can help if anything goes wrong want to go home. So, basically, no. DT is when it is for a reason, and it's then for CCP's convenience. Moving it to please some specific customers would make no sense, since it would just clash with other customer's timetable, and making it a "hovering" downtime is bad for other reasons.
Bottom line, thumbs down. _ Create a character || Fit a ship || Get some ISK |
