Automated server restarts

This is something I've been thinking about for a while now, but given how laggy the server has gotten recently, I think this may be something to consider. Usually, it doesn't take long for the server restart, so I think having an automated restart, say 2-3 times per week would be something a lot of players would be ok with if it meant that we wouldn't have to deal with server lag as much.

One of the major things to consider for this would be exploits, such as being able to dupe and what not by knowing the server is about to restart. I don't know if this actually would be a problem, but definitely something to consider in case it could be. Other than that, I really don't see any downside to doing this unless it is something difficult for Robby to make happen.

Support. Been getting a ton of lag spikes recently that just makes farming in the game less enjoyable and makes pvp just completely un-playable right now.

One immediate downside to this I see is the runtime memory the game would need to track when to restart.

Ok thanks for the heads up. CPU usage on the server is getting a bit higher due to the higher amount of players. Perhaps it's time to upgrade the server to a slightly more powerful one. I made myself a note to transfer over to a slightly more powerful one when it comes time for the update. This should help reduce the lag such as enemy hit delay, during high player/cpu usage times on the server. So just hang tight until the update when the upgraded server will be live.

Updating the server would be a good idea. Its just with how laggy the server is sometimes, its not great at all

The server is likely laggy because it has too many calculations to do with the amount of players. Upgrading to a more powerful one will help reduce it's workload. :)
