I got this idea from the thread about conditional quest rewards. I'm not sure how feasible this even is. But here goes:

Using the most splendid efusl, determine what times have the least players online on average. Then allow certain NPC's to only offer quests during those times, with smaller parties in mind (2-4 at most) so people feel like they can go do something with the few people online. I know now that I'm on the suck side of the timezone issue, it really sucks.

Perhaps with varying degrees of difficulty, but hopefully nothing that requires SPECIFIC classes, as that would defeat the purpose of having these quests available when EFU is a ghost town. Maybe only offer quests up to a maximum of level 5-6, doubt you'd want to allow people to cruise their way up higher than that anyway via this method.

Anyhow, there you go.

That's a pretty neat idea, although I don't see why there should be a seperate, time-zone only questline. Hell, let everyone do them if they're going to be made.

Vlaid, you should just change your life and sleeping cycle to suit EFU imo.

At one point I was getting excited when I died, because it meant I could do something late at night when my options for RP are: A half-wit-half-orc, a hyperactive halfling, or the evil halfling assassin who was abused by priests, and all of them want to kill goblins.

I guess I could just switch to going to bed right away so I can get up at 8 am and play(no, that's not going to happen).

I just don't like looking forward to my next non-perma death.

This has been a problem since the start of EfU, the GMT +8 and other GMT timezones close to that is basically the crap timezone, at 3am while us aussies are asleep america is alive and pinging kicking quests and dm plots.

In our time there are 2 players online, no DMs and a shitload of boredem.

RealityDevoid did try running an event in this timezone, the results were not good.

It would be really great if we did, create methods such as Vlaid suggested and others to make this timezone more kicking.

The reward EFU DMs? More players joining EfU from this timezone. Who would join a server with 2 players when you see one that has alot more?

This is somewhat though less of a problem for EU timezones as well. Unless I'm up late as hell, I get very little chance for interactions with just about anybody - much less, a chance to participate in a DM event.

Yes I agree, it is mainly EUROPE timezonesand AUSTRALIAN/SOUTHEAST ASIAN timezones that are the shit of the pack.
