Daily Restart? Dec 1, 2018 10:46:18 GMT

Ok, guys we've looked high and low and discovered that the functionality that was used in the past to send out serverwide shutdown warnings has been disabled. In order to send out any sort of 15 minute warning for the time of restart we would need a modwriter.

Given that, we turned off the daily backups (pingperfect has a backup that we can revert to if necessary). However I've received requests to go back to a daily restart so that it resets the prayer timers. I'll leave this thread up for a week for feedback.

Do we do a daily restart without the ability to broadcast a warning (there would be a notice posted in the server info tab)? Or do we stick to a weekly backup done at a time when a GM can post warnings in advance?

Then its a yes. if its purely just to reset the faith timer, which could be handy, but in my eyes a bit cheaty. then no.

I would say yes to the daily restart. It does several benifits including giving the peace of mind that you don't need to keep recording your time for each and every prayer each day and adjusting prayer times based one when you completed something else yesterday, or the day before, or two weeks ago. A daily reset basicly just gives the peace of mind that daily items (like the prayers) will be available when the player is. I completely disagree with the cheaty claim as it doesn't change how many prayers you can do, it doesn't change the need for the 20 min between prayer, or increase the efective bonus(es) you gain from those prayers.

I would object if it did change basic effects of how the game functions. In this case though I don't see any of that. It only effects fluff of having to respond to things that disrupted your schedule on a previous day.
