Question: would the day/night system be on the same schedule for everyone, or would it depend on where you are in the world? Like would people on the other side of the world be experiencing night when you're experiencing day??

I think it would have to be set so day and night cycles are on the same schedule for everyone. The whole cycle would have to only take about two hours maybe an hour to give everyone the same amount of opportunities to experience the specific cycle events.

Oh ok thanks that makes sense

Longer than an hour, I would presume. I was honestly imaging a 4 hour cycle, with one hour for each period of the day. You could even make it longer, with an 8 hour cycle. I think that two hours would be too short, and would make certain activities difficult, like hunting bugs that only appear at certain times(if that was implemented)  

First let's put a weather system

I would love a night cycle, only if what types of bugs came out/ left alternated, same thing with baddies. Something else that would make this worth implementing would be at night baddies could enter non-pk areas and attack players. Or even just all non-pk areas are switched to pk.

Or even something such as certain shops/ buildings open exclusively at night, and more loot buyers could come out of the wood work or become available to trade with.

Yes, but then it's a fine balance as to how long a day cycle spans for as you don't want to punish people for playing in certain time zones. What would you say to be the ideal time period for a cycle?

We also have that on Delteria

Define weather system

Like a storm cell, we get one good thunder storm and then we trash the system because we realize it's too much work

of course it would not be accurate, I would say a half an hour would be reasonable. Also, would make use of random buildings around the overworld @ night because they could remain non-pk and people could weather the storm, or run house to house. Could be fun.

Delteria has a night and day cycle, and I enjoy it alot. It works with things like lamps which are only turned on at night, etc. Makes the game feel more alive ^_^

No it doesn't. It's annoying af to be running around in darkness. Good thing they added a disable option.

i agree with the people that say a day/night system with no purpose is pointless.

Why not make it so that when the PK boards a reset ever morning/night that's when a new day begins with a rising sun and it gets brighter throughout the day, and then it becomes a sunset and then night lol

I really enjoy it, I dont know why you have such a problem with it tbh. And its not toooo dark in my opinion.
