Since the winter update, server performance in relation to uptime has improved a lot. Now a server can be up for more than a day without running like crap, instead of half a day. That being said, is it too much to ask to have the servers auto restart when empty over a certain uptime threshold? I have hosted a brand new server, and I am greeted with a server with an up time over over 100 hours. And it runs terribly. I still have to "reroll" hosting a few times to get one that has a decent latency and runs good. I don't know what the critical uptime threshold is, but it is certainly somewhere between 0 hours and 100 hours. There is no reason people should be hosting servers that run like absolute crap by accident. It's too hard to communicate the importance of monitoring uptime and taking the proactive action or rehosting until a decent server is used. The crap servers should be automatically prevented from being used. I understand that if a server never empties, the uptime will keep adding up, but hosting a new server or a server which sometimes has zero players, shouldn't be joined by a first new player with over 100 hours on the uptime clock.
