Sykotron 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Is it just me or do a lot of servers not work well at all? I use the launcher, enter a filter of 1.7.1.5, and choose a game where I have <200 ping and probably half of the servers I try to join simply don't work. Most of the time I'll get stuck in one of the 18 loading screens after getting to the lobby and seeing the list of other players.Also only slightly related, when in the hell does daylight start? I just joined an Atlanta server that said GMT -6 which means it should be 1PM... and it was still very dark. I joined a Seattle server (didn't specify, but Seattle is GMT -8 meaning 10AM and it was still dark too. Are the server admins just being stupid here or is something else going on? It should be light enough to see very well by 8AM.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of the servers don't follow the recommended guidelines for server maintenance and kind of just let it run. I had the unfortunate displeasure of being on a server that was at around 19 hours without a restart... or so the Admin claimed and I would say it was, it was just horrible. Your best bet is to find a server that you like and has good performance and stick with it, that's what I did and I can't complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sykotron 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Now more than half of the servers I join that it should be day on are turning out to be night time when it's not indicated in their server name? Is that a bannable offense for server? >:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
