The number of people who have registered sits rather low right now. Only 7 people including myself. Yes, I registered to see if the code worked. So SIX people have only registered. Now I know what you're thinking. We need to open up the server so people can hop on when they want. That answer is NO. Right now I leave my doors unlocked on certain buildings because I am not worried about a single soul who has registered coming up to any of my homes and stealing stuff. I like that feeling, as I am sure most of the people who have registered like that feeling. So, we'll stay locked up. Eventually people will register and the server will start to thrive like it did in the past. We already have a lot of good people on here and I do not intend on running them off because we opened the server to trolls.
With that being said, Discord is not a good way to check and see if someone is playing on the server. Not a lot of people are using it yet. We just started the server 3 weeks ago, after a several month break. Once the server gains popularity again and the numbers have to be increased on the server for more people to play, then I'm sure Discord will be a viable way to find out if people are playing. If you are wondering what the times are in which people play currently, here they are:
Our average users, including me tend to play:
Between the hours of 5 pm - 9 pm Monday - Thursday
Between the hours of 8 am - Midnight, Friday & Saturday
And Sunday is quite sporadic so I cannot give you a good window. I'm usually on in the morning.
Either way, just an update as to what's going on with the server. I wanted to let some of you know how the most of our players schedules are.
Keep this in mind, not every single player who play's on Z-Day PvE uses voice chat either. Some like to just type. I am not one of them but I will not hop on discord until I see someone in game who uses voice chat.
See you in game!
