Effective immediately, The Lost Traders Tavern will operate under a new part time schedule. The server will only be available between 10pm and 11pm eastern time. Extern will run at 10:30pm.

This is intended to allow people to be free from worrying about the game for 23 hours a day, and lead a normal life, while retaining the ability to stay competitive. Please feel free to send feedback to brian_c_massey@yahoo.com

Interesting. I'll have to give this a shot at some point, and try a game there.

I think it's a great idea, I would definitely play but it's right when I put my kids to bed (PST) so maybe when they're older. Heh.

Initially, there will be a single game, while I gauge interest. If there is the demand, I will bang more games, possibly even an unlim or two.

If it's even possible, could you have different games open different hours? Like game A: 10-11 game B: 11-12 etc. etc. ?

To accomplish this, I'm simply running an automated process at 10 to start twgs as a service, and again at 11 to stop it. To allow for different games at different times, I'd have to be running twgs on multiple machines, and that's not something that is currently planned.

I like it. Great idea. I know the two of us discussed this quite a while ago. If I don't forget, I'm gonna play.

Concept is nice, however for those people who work 2nd or maybe 3rd shifts, it just eliminated a nice place to play.

How about setting it up like the good ole bbs days. Have one node open with perhaps a 1 hour time limit or less.

THe idea isn't to mimic the bbs days. It's to allow for fully interactive multiplayer gaming, at a set time every day.
