This i feel would promote a lot more 'day raiding' and 24/7 attacking, because Europeans would be fighting other Europeans whilst the Yanks slept and vice versa with the austrailains cross mixing the two like they do atm - it would atleast cause there to be large amounts of attacks launching around 11am-12pm and so on because this would be 5-6am for yanks and just keep the game more even.
As i think Paisley said this would reduce the need for getting smsed at 3am (or supposedly phoned in Apprime (sod that)) as the incommings would be spread throught the 24 hrs rather than squeezed into a 5 hr slot.

Anything that forces me to change my sleep habbits is not welcome. I will not stay up until/at 4 am just to launch a fleet and wake up at 6 am to go to work/uni.
PL isn't a bad thing. Allow PLing but put a handicap on it, that's it.
My active pa days are over and now i feel like if I don't sacrifice my life for it I can't be successful at it. This way PA will not hold any newbies. They'll come, look, get roided, and leave. Perhaps they will join an alliance where they will moan at him for not getting online at night which again leads to them leaving pa.
Make this game enjoyable. Reward those who put more effort in it but don't make it impossible to play for those who can't do so. This game needs tweaking on sooo many things.. I wonder why I still play it seriously.
Spinner I hope you are reading this. Don't make your game as hardcore as this please. Give us casual old timers a chance to compete
