Perhaps the idea of having two parallel games isn't that bad. Day/night alternates in both games in turn, which eliminates the "forced waiting" that some players dislike. On the other hand, many have said that this greatly affects activity, which has a very negative impact on the quality of the game.
In any case, I think that at least the breaks between games should be removed, at least until the situation with the number of people wanting to participate normalizes.
