The SERS server is 24/7 based. The clock runs all the time and unloading/loading of cars continues around the clock. There are no limitations to the traffic of the server - but it is based on a 24 hour cycle of Real Time. This means that each cycle will see the trains expected to be run on the prototype for that DAY in a 24 hour period. Each cycle day of the week is different and you might not see some trains for days or weeks of actual time as a result. This keeps things pretty fresh and interesting we feel.
By keeping the server 24/7, we are able to serve our broad user base all around the world. Not all users schedules allow them to join session at once. If you desire to see the sun and you are located in a time zone where you access to the server is limited to our night time - please adjust your local time settings accordingly. Anything that can increase your personal enjoyment of the server without a detrimental effect on others is welcome and encouraged!
Please be courteous to others and update the registry. This is the only way our group can know what is available to work and what has been completed. Our registry is only as good as the users who make the entries so please be accurate. If you discover an error post on the forum and an admin will fix it. Better yet - make a correct entry or edit the one you made previously.
DISPATCHERS! At this time we do not have a DS schedule. That may be something we go to in the future. For now when you log on please ASK if there is a DS on duty. Most evenings between 16:00 and 20:00 Eastern Time there is a long time DS on duty. He will be glad to line you up and send you out. If you tend to operate when there is no DS around - please stick to yard work or contact Admin for the DS password to light up the board.
Invite your friends to join you and pass the word. This server is for serious Railsimmers interested in operating like the prototype and moving cars. If you enjoy Run 8 and want to be a part of a living, breathing logistics system - this is the server for you! Please join, increase our user base, and be a part of what we do here. You contribution always helps the cycle and the system move forward!
Thanks and look forward to seeing you on the rails!
