Yeh the newbie chat is good, hopefully more people on the shard will begin to use it, then maybe the players can find each other easy :)

I was just noticing that the server downtime looks like real bad timing. We had more people on last night than ever and the server went down almost at our peak.

That was the usual time, but I'm going to push it forward 4 1/2 hours. So that will be 7:30 am Eastern, 5:30 Pacific.

That's for alerting me to this.

I've rescheduled to shutdown and added a 30 minutes serverwar period before reboot.

The server will now save for the last time at 7am Eastern, that's 12:00 GMT and 4am Pacific. The server will remain active for 30 minutes before rebooting. There will be a 15 minute warning before last save.

Maybe post this in the announcements or shard news section, so more people are likely to read it?

And I like this idea. It'll give me some time to try some experiments =D
