Actually if you change the boot time, people will whine for say.. next few
months about how it is so hard to keep track on the boot times. The idea said,
that everytime you login it will show you next boot time is great and it will
solve the "I did not know"-problem. Because then you are just totally blind
and ignorant if you did not see it coming. And there also is a command to see
the next boot time. n
People are just generally lazy and they don't want anything to change, but
they will eventually adapt. But honestly, if you are too lazy to keep track on
simple thing like boot time, then I just ask you, where do you get the energy
to actually play?
So as you can quess, I'm all in for the boot time change. Some 28h or so boot
periods would be nice. It would make the game "fair" for everyone, though only
a minority of players are from lets say US, we should not discriminate them
because they are a minority, we should give them equal chances to play the
game (as some things are once per boot only it now benefits fin players much).

How does the current boot time lower US citizens chances to play? The current
boot time isn't that bad after all, besides, what kind of mudders they are if
they are sleeping at that time? it is so easy to sleep during days and play
all night long (been there, done that). Discriminate? why finns should adapt?
As someone stated, mud is, afterall, stationed in Finland. If someone want's
to do once/boot stuff, then he must adapt

I don't care when the boot is, at least when it is not during the best playing
time, but i'm afraid of that change.

Im from America, and I agree.

Boo fuckin' hoo, we have to get up at around a quarter past 5 in the
morning to get some bullshit quest items and other boot related bonuses.
Maybe if we were a bunch of pussies (though it seems to be the Americans
arguing about this deffinatly are *cough* *Val* *cough*) we would give
a flying shit. shut up with the goddamned boot times, Boot is nice and
convenient for the people who run the F99Kin' game, thats the important
part right?

I think it would be really fucked up to have all those wizards who bust
their asses for us, to have to get up at 5am just so they can see boot
(who knows, maybe they need/like to see boot why should we care? I sure
dont) and a big fuck you to everyone who sugested an alternative boot time
"lets have a rolling boot" "lets have a exact 24hr boot!!" <--really fucked
"lets have multiple boots" <--- shut the fuck up you ingrate
one more thing.. dont rate this post I need +votes for a change
