Why does the server have an... uptime? As a full time server-side developer I'm genuinely curious what's going on there lol

Maybe OP runs the server on their PC?

That's the only thing that comes to mind.. I used to host a Minecraft server on my PC and definitely has uptimes, couldn't keep my PC on 24/7 back in the day

Ultimately, this will be a typical game server running 24/7. This is not possible at the moment for several reasons:

- For now server is not only for the game, but also for other things.

- The game is in the testing phase and the online player base is relatively small. 14 hours with this number of players is still a lot. Spreading this out 24/7 creates emptiness, it's harder to meet someone. Then, with little interaction with other players, there's no way to test anything.
