It seems like it's pretty often that Arelith's servers, particularly C&P, get so laggy they're unplayable before a DM happens along and can fix it. Generally speaking, this happens at almost the same time every night, in the early evening PST or so, when everyone in America has been a while.
Since it seems to be fairly often that there are no DMs available to reset the server for quite some time, I feel like it would be extremely beneficial to automatically reset the servers every 12 or 24 hours, maybe at 6PM or so PST. This would prevent the current (and relatively frequent) situation of extreme lag with no reset in sight.
Automated Server Resets
Re: Automated Server Resets
If this could be done and somehow avoiding Epic Chest campers abusing the regularity then yes, regular automated resets would be pretty nice.
Re: Automated Server Resets
The nice thing about this would be you would know the reset was coming so you could make sure to not be halfway through a dungeon only to restart with no buffs or spawns in a horde of baddies
Re: Automated Server Resets
Perhaps randomize it within a certain threshold....24-48 hours? Make the gap large enough to be unpredictable, but often enough to be useful.

Re: Automated Server Resets
Maybe allow players to call for a reset with -reset ? Enough 'votes' for it, and an automated reset hits?
Re: Automated Server Resets
Nah. I can see someone cheesing that. "Oh no our settlement is under attack!" Que clique of players on the defending side put in a vote for a reset and bring down the server in the middle of an event.theCountofMonteCristo wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 1:45 pmMaybe allow players to call for a reset with -reset ?

Also, any large event that causes lag would get people flagging the server for reset if they don't know an event is going on. Leaving it in the hands of the players is a bad idea.

Re: Automated Server Resets
The server resets have been timed with my logins, so if any tryhard campers want to get in on the good stuff, I can send you a group email two hours before logging!
