That is for me to know and you to deduce by way of elementary googling.

If you, let's say, get up for work at 8am, need 1-1,5h to get ready and get to work and spend there 8h, you can synch your alts to pick orders at 8:00, this way you can pick two every day and have enough time to play on the character.

There will be "minute creep" always, unless the timer is a bit shorter than 12 hours.

i collect now 2 times per day... but if my alts must timeplay ... isn't possible... :P 23:00 go sleep 6:00 wake up -> 40minutes travel bus, 8h in work.. 15:00 out -> 16:00 in house ... repeat :P

That means you are away for a little less than 9,5h. That means you can get enough playtime on 4-5 alts per account. If server crashes or little delays screwed up your order picking time, you can always skip one and get them back on track.
What I am trying to say here is in the end making it 10-11 hours won't make much difference, if any.

Trade Order requires: 12 Iron
they give 2 ious

and exist more easy what give 3 ious... and cost less
mean i ask, you will balance this ? or you leave ?

next question: can you less time wait for take order ? mean, not 12h but example 11h or 10h ?
because it's hard take perfect two order per day... one-two hour for preparation, nothing change much, but more easy take "radom" trade


Yes I don't mind the idea of decreasing to 11 hours now that there is 'some' play requirement inbetween gatherings. Also I don't mind balancing the trade orders. But it is quite difficult as you need to look beyond the 'mat balance' given that I expected the order itself to have some value. For example I imagine that Heffernan is willing to still turn in the 12 iron bars for 2 Tokens simply because I imagine at this point he has 1 billion iron bars and would prefer tokens over them. So what might be trash for one player or of lesser value might still have a market value for another. If a TO loses all market value because literally nobody will turn it in I'll turn on logging data for them. If the entire server boycotts a trade order for some number of weeks then I would argue it certainly needs adjustment.

There I just pushed the change. The bad news is the server might crash while I am traveling. The good news is that if/when it does when it does get restored I have already pushed the trade orders down to 11 hours. This gives you guys a bit of wiggle room if your late and/or like the idea of a hard schedule.
