The answer to Tina's question about quest/escort/plant/etc timers was unfortunate. These timers are annoying to keep track of.

Many MMOs set their timers at 18-20 hours so people can actually try to make them fit their schedules.

@Kyronix To get around shard crashes affecting timers, have the server reset them at a specific time every day, say 4am "local time." This would in no way alter game balance, and would be a positive change to show the players that you care.
It still requires culling every timing based system, and that is not a small task. Are they that much of an inconvenience that you'd rather see that changed then a new content update or an outdated system revamped?

Do you not think we care? Of course we care! Caring for UO is what gets us out of bed everyday! Long live UO!
