What does this setting do?

Some parts of the map are off limits for parked vehicles — trader zones and other protected areas. Leave a vehicle there beyond this deadline and the server clears it. The default of two hours leaves plenty of time for shopping while preventing permanent parking outside the trader.

Without this deadline the areas around traders would quickly fill up, which not only looks poor but blocks vehicle slots and burdens server performance in an already busy spot.

Which value suits my server?

Relaxed PvE

04:00:00. A relaxed buffer for longer shopping trips.

Classic PvP

02:00:00 (default).

Hardcore

01:00:00.

What to watch out for

No substitute for attention

Once the time is up the vehicle is gone, not relocated. Players should know trader zones are not car parks — the message of the day is a good place to say so.
