I am curious about how time will be depicted in this sort of multi-player environment. If there are to be up to 64 players logged on to a host server, all interacting in real time, how do things like sleeping get handled?
If group A and group B are both walking along the road, with group B 30 minutes (game time) behind group A and group A decides to have a nap, what happens with group B? Are they still behind group A? or are they now 8 hours ahead? They can't be, right? The rest sessions, unless you really have to stop playing for 8 hours game time, would only last for a short while.
Oh well, I'm not sure I outlined this thought very clearly, but if you think you understood it and have an answer, please tell!
