What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

Change the amount of daily automated restarts from 2 > 3.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

Probably not.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

Reducing the amount of lag buildup that happens per day.
Allow more "memory resets" as the server has recently become increasingly more potent to memory issues like the 323 bug etc.
Would make the server able to handle a higher playerbase smoothly for an extended period of time.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

More restarts = more RP resets which could negatively effect roleplay situations that last long term, examples such as 008 breaches and general roleplay situations.

The value of money would maybe go down as you would be able to earn up to $2700 instead of just 1800 if you are XK.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

The servers memory issues have recently became more readily apparent, with a larger playerbase AND more content, these Memory issues will only become worse. Memory issues such as the 323 glitch happen way more often now than before and the lag on the server can sometimes become absolutely unbearable. I believe that a third restart can ease up these issues just a little bit more as it gives the server more breathing room to run the servers more smoothly.

Figuring out when this restart should happen would be a difficult conversation as technically the only option for another restart would be during the US Up-Time.

UK server could do with about 50 restarts a day with the amount of evening lag we get
The UK has lag, but the US gets a memory leak towards the middle of the day. This Leak can happen as early as 2PM PST and restart isn't till 8 HOURS later.

Meaning new people connecting, just can't play due to this memory leak.

A third restart is a good bandaid solution until a possible fix towards the memory leak can be resolved. The US Server garners more overall traffic, with it usually staying 50+ throughout the full 24 hour cycle, and 12PM PST being where it picks up towards 120~ players for the rest of the day.

The Traffic is a lot, and this memory leak is resonable new, as it wasn't this bad like a month ago.

After discussing this with the executive team, we have concluded that this is not necessary at this time.
