[Volatile]

a lot of this is naturally speculation; we don't really know how many people are genuinely doing their upmost to hit a check every hour, and it is likely just a few people at most or they're playing the game like they would regardless

same for the /rpp command, but i also don't see an issue with disabling it, as it does encourage focusing on checks too much. i'd still increase the timer to 2 or 3 hours regardless though. i think it's worth trying both of these, especially in the early stages where we don't want rpp gain to be super high anyway

Since you seem set on this, what about changing how the timers for mining works? There are some people who can't mine the ores they need to progress as a smith or to make the armor they are cpaable of because people ALWAYS mine them up before they have the free time to get some. If you can't be up late at night your prob not gonna get good pickings of ores and the like as is.
