As far as moving around the time of day that Domination ends, why not actually have it as a choice for your characters? You select which alts you play Domination with, so at that screen, have people select what time of day (in 6 hour intervals) they want Dom to end at and divvy up the brackets by time of day as well.

This way,

1 – It’s not shifting so you don’t have to keep track of it.

2 – Since you can choose the time, it ought not interfere with people’s work schedules.

3 – You can actually pay attention to different alts since you don’t have 5 happening at once.

4 – The server isn’t being swarmed all at once, but throughout the day which might help speed up gameplay in those last hours.

The major obvious potential problem that I see of course is that if one time of the day isn’t being used much for some reason, people there may have an easier go of things, but tha can be averted somewhat by cleverly messing around with the bracket sizes and quantities. Hell people could change time of day to avoid enemies Log in to see images!.

To see what times of the day people would use I’m going to start a poll thread so we can get a bit of a sample for how it would divide up.
