An idea to help with server hopping and farming

[Skydiver (DayZ) 4]

Why not put a timer on characters, with a cooldown, similar to that with failed logins in some systems.

Once you're in, you cant change servers for 5 minutes. After this 5 minutes is up, you get a 5 min "cooldown". If you log into another server during this 5 minute cooldown, your timer is increased to 10 mins, with 10 min cooldown, and keep increasing it up to, say 1 hour with 1 hour cooldown. After the end of the cooldown, your timer goes down a level.

Not knowing how the back end database works, I dont know whether this would really be possible (as servers would probably check against their own clocks) so may not be possible to implement. But if it was, it would make server hopping for the purposes of farming a very long process. I can also see people complaining about how they only like daytime servers - and hop around until they find one. But for most people who will stick with a server for a good period of time, it wouldnt really affect them.
