Server Population Max

[DeepFriedMoose]

I've seen other servers with max players set to 96+/-

Is this something we could implement here? or would the server be too taxed?

I ask, because, especially on the weekends, the server population tends to be in the upper 60's to low 70's. Maxing out at 75 might turn some people away?

Thoughts/opinions?

Look at the cap..

[DeepFriedMoose]

Well, look at that, then!

I withdraw my comment.

It is not always 96 sometimes it is 75. Do you only make it 96 when server gets busy?

I've set it to 96 in the startup as we push for it anyways.

Speaking of caps, I'm afraid I've got to wonder about something somewhat related:

With the server generally being capable of staying online for up to 8-9 hours (assuming no weird nonsense happening), I have to ask: Does it *have* to stay up for that long?

Call me crazy, but I was content with the 5-6 hour intervals between reboots. Granted, I had no real idea of the normal up-time of the server, but it felt cleaner and not as bogged down when rebooting after that length of time, as compared to the now 8-9 hour periods.

Thoughts?

Edit: spelling, and apologies for hijacking the thread.

I like that idea Woodsman. 9 hours is a lot of time for junk to build up!
