Abnab and Madam Firilanya, among others, have asked to not be tied down to a particular schedule. They would like the luxury of delivering their goods with a bit more flexibility, hoping they can deliver more often than every 12 or 24 hours.
Case in point: the other day I ignored them in order to allow them to begin making morning deliveries just before 8 a.m. That went well for a couple days until the server kept giving me the infinite character loading screen.
Finally, I was able to obtain all of their messages by 8:20 a.m. as of yesterday morning. Alas, this morning, I was notified that the server was down when I went to log in, so I had to wait until lunchtime to receive those messages. The hirelings were not pleased.
Now they are having to interrupt their mid-day activities rather than simply getting the task accomplished when they and I wake up. They are amenable to moving their shipments an hour earlier each day until we are again at the 8 a.m.-ish delivery schedule, but ZeniMax does not seem to want anything to do with this.
So, now I appeal, on behalf of the disgruntled hirelings, other players and myself, please change the delivery requirements so they can occur every 11 hours or every 23 hours for the half-day and full-day deliveries, respectively.
Thank you.
