that seems like a reasonable way to combat it. it wont disrupt changing servers every now and then for friends. and it doesnt delay you logging off in general. what about things where you dont connect to some servers? ive tried numerous servers getting to requesting char data, and then loading, only to be frozen or booted sometimes (other continent servers too high ping) what if i do this a few times, how would you deal with that situation? one night i got to the loading before spawn 4 times i believe before finding a good server.

for people saying sleep at night. most people dont sleep at 9, and wake up at 7,thats just not when night is. night needs to be more accurate in time, and in level of darkness. lastly, a lot of people have night shifts, thuse, they play at night on their times off...... the ignorance of some....

you cant loot an area you just spawned in as far as ive seen, the loot and zombies dissapear in the area unless other players are there too. as for safe zones, lkie camps people make with several tents and vehicles. well, if you hide them, they wont be found. i hop servers, not in quick succession but when a friend comes online, or if we are trying to get into servers together etc. but also, when i havent played in daytime for several days and i just want to be in daylight so i switch into a euro server. now, if they made several servers, for each time zone, and had more accurate dasy/night cycles (like how its night at 8 or 9 pm even though its bright until 10 or 11). then it would be alright, to have a server, where you enter it for the first time, and it becomes the server your character solely exists on. ensuring you a spot on that server only. however, as things are where there are connection issues with some servers, or player limits on servers, then a master server persistence is required.

the thing ive experienced is that when you log in, no loot is around your immediate area anyways, alogn with no zombies. a friend and i decided to try loging out to see what happens, and if we are mobbed, and because its nea rimpossible to outrun zombies, we logged out and in, to find the entire town near us, (pretty decent distance away) was completely empty of zombies and loot. i like logging out, to avoid death, but i understand its not legitimate and it is definitely not realistic, but i just really, really dont want to die. a way to fix it would be a log out timer, 10-20 seconds maybe. but a timer on spawning in another server is very bad. i switch at times to meert friends, i dont want to wait 5 minutes just because i just logged out.
