thats still great the more night we have the better I mean the sun does havoc on my bones

The sun is just too bright that's all. Better inside a damp dark cave, nothing blinding one's eyes there.

well it cracks my bones and then sand gets in and you have no idea how bad that feels. having sand in you and you just can't get rid of it *shuders*

Hmm, have you ever tried a volcano spa? Bathing in flames usually helps fix that, it helps the sand melt into glass to fill the cracks, tho there's always a risk of the melted sand melting your bones if they are brittle oO

I find the best way to get rid of sand is having a bath in blood it thicker than water, so its good plus It makes my fell youthful again

If it is 4x real time for game time and if seasons and latitude effect daylight on Verra as on Earth then are some places going to have days of night?

He meant 15 real life minutes is 1 hour in game, (1/4 x real time)
Meaning a day cycle will be 6, meaning there will be 4 days in game in 1 real life day :P 

I did fail to convey my point clearly enough. If there is a node far enough away from the Verra equator night easily be 4 hours real time. 

Now if they just assume a twelve hour day night cycle we are still looking at 3 hours of real time for night. 

For some one of us there are hoops to jump through to get more than 3 hours to play. Either babysitting to arrange, spouses to bribe, monster to buy so we can stay awake til 0200, and so on. Seems like a detriment to be forced into an inn the entire time I can play because the mobs get too powerful at night.

An easy sollution is to slightly change the time in AoC.

Instead of 15 real life minutes to 1 hour in game, they could choose something like 10 minutes for each game hour, so it is not always a quarter and night cycle at the exact time every day.

@FliP
No 10 minutes would still result in equal numbers every day xD
Better take 12,5 real minutes to 1hour ingame. That way game day cycles would change by exactly 1 hour every real time day and each cycle lasts for 5 hours.

If one were to take Lord of the Rings as an example. Specifically one of the last scenes of a Fellowship.

Aragorn goes to say. "By night time these hills are going to be swarming with orcs."
An underground type race that can't handle sunlight as thus surfaces during night time. Things like this, to me, are awesome. And if they bring more danger, all the better.

@UnknownSystemError provided some nice Steven quotes!

A cold snowy winters night...I may be in my freehold hiding by a warm fire. I can't imagine what spooky monster spawn tables that scenario would bring!

Winter or summer? I wanna gather in the winter I like that more @Diura XD Ill just craft a fire and cook some warm meals while we admire our newly found ores and herbs at the campfire xD

I agree. Night should give incentive to players to stay where it's safe. In various places of adult entertainment within the city that would work during night.

Chick and booze. And you should be able to gain experience there too.
