A dark sea scenario, you’re taking a rowboat for a one-way voyage to epicentre…
Then suddenly!
You get told 10 minutes before a server shuts down at the 36h server age mark.
Since the addition of dark sea, a notable amount of players have lost dark sea runs due to server shutdowns; 10 minutes is just not enough for ships with as much as 144 sailing speed to sail from high insanity ranges back to loot their sealeds in time, not to mention NEW players entering dark sea for their first TIME.
For people that go on dark sea runs alot after a while it’s something they try and check before going on the run by now, even then there’s still a possiblity of losing track of time due to many factors ( maybe they forgot too ), including the unpredictable spawn rates of dark sea islands.
Henceforth, I propose players WITHIN the dark sea are now notified an hour before the server shuts down [players within the bronze seas are told atleast half an hour prior to the shutdown], ensuring there’s enough time for the return voyage.
Another situation where this would prove helpful would be for players that are fishing/ diving with gilded luck potions, they need about 37.5 minutes to go through a brew and just under an hour to go through an aura potion ( what about players that do dark sea runs and then use a gilded luck potion? )
Without checking when the server’s gonna shut down players could very well be setting themselves up for failure…
