Hi, I just submitted following suggestion to add restriction on players' time zone when create games, especially for turn based games:

Who don't want to play with guys having similar timetable? They may like to play the game in your free time! Please support if you also think it's a good idea!

Was suggested man times already, and no, not a good idea. Time zone says nothing about activity hours. These actually can be set already, depending on the turn based mode, and are much more useful.

aesche may be thinking of the option in turn-based tournaments to set a 12-hour window for "playing hours." I do not see a similar option in the setup for non-tournament games.

I think he's talking about fast turn based games. You get to set a 12 hour time range when the clock counts for turns, and the other 12 hours is "sleep" time and doesn't count down anyone's timer.

Ah. I've never used fast turn-based, but that option looks the same as it does for tournaments.
