Traditionally, there has always been a delay between the release of new skins and when they became available on the servers.
That has now changed; the process has been automated, and new skins will be added to the servers overnight.
This means that, going forward, skins will be delayed by a maximum of one day if everything runs as it should.
The reason it only runs once a night is that it requires a fair amount of CPU power whilst it’s running; at the same time, the servers need to be restarted to ensure the changes take effect, so it would cause significant disruption to day-to-day operations if it ran whilst players were on the servers.
In addition, changes have been made to the AFK manager.
Previously, it simply moved players to ‘spec’ for being AFK, after which no further action was taken.
Now, it will initially move players to the spectator area; if they remain inactive, they will be kicked after a few minutes to free up a slot.
However, you’ll only be kicked for inactivity; you’re welcome to stay in spectator mode and watch the other players if you wish.
You may receive a warning that you’re inactive; if this happens, simply perform an action – for example, click on something or switch between players – and you won’t be kicked.
