Nipple Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I don't know exactly why the jailbreak server restart is everyday at 6pm, (maybe there is a good reason, but idk, if there is please let me know and ignore this thread), but almost everyday at 6pm the server is really full and has a lot of players on and the restart really messes things up and loses players. I suggest changing the server restart time to anytime between 3am-12pm(noon) EST. That seems to be the time the least amount of people are on jailbreak. Anyone else +1? or -1? or have another suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxer-I- Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 it is indeed a very odd time to restart the server since is usually almost full every day @ that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoSniper Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I was kinda wondering that too. It might be because it has so many players, that it needs to reset to not completely 'die' but usually all severs i go on reset at about 3 pm est. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linoleum Knive Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 -1. The server fills right back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipple Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 -1. The server fills right back up. after a while it usually* does, but why break it right at 6 and interrupt gameplay when restarting it at 11am est (for example) won't really effect much.

Princess Celestia Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 That would affect me. I am an early Jailbreaker due to my schedule... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaincracker Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 If it were to reset at say, any time between 2 a.m. - 8 a.m. the server population is already lower, so then people will be less likely to come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoSniper Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Kind of off topic, but anyone know why its still down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 -1 because most of the people on the Jailbreak server start to realize that the server resets at 6 everyday and know to come back in about 5-10 minutes. I have seen the server repopulate in about 10 minutes right as your allowed to join the server again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonbon Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 This is on purpose, and ALL HG servers restart at 5 PM CST. Explanation from Homer. Exactly, that's how our (current mod) servers have been. Trust me; been analyzing player flows for years and know what's best If you restart a server late at night the few players in the server will go dead, zero players easily, and remain like that for a long time into the afternoon. If you restart a server in the hottest traffic time, everyone rejoins quick and the player base sustains very well. As well few players playing from the night, boost the player joins early in the morning and the server gets full at a sooner hour of the day.
