You KNOW the server time, at any hour. Because it's always the same, GMT. If you switch to 6 hour days or some other fuckery then it's all chaos and server time is meaningless. You'll talk on facebrowser, you'll set up an event and you won't have any idea what hour it will be ingame when it actually happens. Edited June 18, 2022 by pateuvasiliu 1 Link to comment
DLimit Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 -1 I cannot support this suggestion as it's immersion-breaking based on all of the reasons listed within the past 6 pages. Link to comment
Cartoonhead Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Yeah would be really immersion breaking and not quite worth the massive change it would be. -1 Edited June 18, 2022 by Cartoonhead 1 Link to comment

Only the day/night cycle is for pure aesthetic purposes. Link to comment

Sure, but that still means you don't know whether it's light or dark outside. You'd invite someone out for a drink at 10PM and it's daylight. That's shit.

Late Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 -1. I'd sooner advocate for putting the server to GMT-8 before we did this. 1 Link to comment

Just shorten the night instead of mixing and mashing and playing with the timezones. I've seen it recommended that we swap the timezone every week/month/whatever else. Problem is: making it so that we go through an entire day in only four hours would achieve a solely confusing effect, where the time/sunlight only becomes a matter of guesswork, which would be no fun. If possible, I am comfortable with this idea, reduce the night time so even EU players that arrived from work can still get some daylight rp going on. Link to comment
