    Small suggestion

    Please don't crucify me if this is impossible or not worth the effort it would take to implement, I don't know how the technical stuff works, but would it be possible to have an automatic warning 5 or so minutes before the server reset? It could be an automated shout, or the appearance of a timer going down...anything. This is NOT a complaint so please don't take it like one, it wouldn't impact me at all since I personally set an alarm on my cellphone

    Thanks

    The songs have absolutely nothing to do with the characters. But they are awesome songs.

    Yeah, that would be a nice feature. Good idea to set an alarm on your cellphone.

      Unless you decide to go to bed early that night and get woken up by your cell phone. I'm actually surprised this feature hasn't been implemented already. It seems simple enough.

        Usually Saulus comes on and gives a shout saying 2 minutes?

          I believe he was speaking of the auto-restart that happens at 1am EST. Saulus does come on and shout if he restarts out of schedule which is awesome but the 1am EST restart doesn't give any warning and if you are really into what your doing on sundren (which happens alot) all of a sudden BANG server restart and you probably lost something depending on what you were doing.

          In most cases probbaly only a tick or 2 of RPXP but still an auto-shout warning would make you go "oh ya I have to save".

            The problem is I've been working on this feature for awhile but converting a unix timestamp into realtime is not a standard function in nwscript, once more I have no internal clock in the game and everything must be request manually, triggered by something else.

            So I can't simply just make it happen 10 minutes before 1 am. I've been working on this function since I implemented the 1am restarts but obviously a message to do this is less important than most of the other things I've been busy with.
            The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

                For now I'd say just know what time 1am EST is your time, and you all good

                  Okay, fair enough. Obsidian seems to have a knack for making simple things difficult.
