There has now been quite lot of talk about rape prots and and about the
timezone discrimination/imbalance.

Short:
Easiest way to solve these is to simply change everyithing \"once per
boot\" to \"once per 24h\".

Long:
This would fix the race shrine saccings that last for certain timezone people
for whole their suffeli \"normal\" playing time they got (in case
boot is at early morning/when they wake up) or removes the punishment for
living in time zone that has the boot middle of their \"normal\"
playing time (boot at 2000 local time/the ones having thing called RL).

Secondly it would fix the eq rush for raped monsters, by the simple fact (yes
i do love facts) that it is always needed time to kill the monster/get access
to the item.

If a monster (item) is rushed ASAP after boot and it takes 1-240mins to kill
it, it now it takes 24h\'s it to pop, thus the monster is not there at after
boot but at at the time it died thus each rape raid pushes the possible
killing (item) little future away from nice & sane playing times from the
peoples raping it.

E.g. if it takes one hour to get... er kill a monster, after a week it would,
at least, be pushed 7 hours away from boot. After a while raping...er geting
the equ means that you have to wake up at 0400, gear up, call other rapers..er
party members and get the show going. There might be some HC nolifers around
here that could manage this kind of raping protection but in some point The RL
(tm) comes and either shakes them out of it or they simply die for overloading
their biological clock.
Either way, inevitably our fellow mudders accross the globe get their chance
for any (open) equ out there.

A :-D hits you.
