I'm not saying right now, but in the future, Day and Night should really come to Graal Kingdoms.

It would make the game alot more realisitic (especialy in RP, night rades are fun) and certain things could only be open during the day or night. Like stores could only be open to say 10PM, and open again at 8AM the next day.

Nocturnal monsters could pop up at night, than go back to sleep during the day while the Day monsters come out.

There would be so many things that Day and Night would open up if it came Graal Kingdoms.

that would be unfair on people in different time-zones....

At night have it really pitch-black, even with a candle or lantern you can only see well a few feet, us Bile followers would rule the night with our infra-vision...

Dien has light aura so his followers can see good in the dark.

And this would be extremly laggy fighting in the rain or snow. x.x
And most people cannot see light effects.

Night and day is a must have.

And any kind of "lag" or "bug" that you may say makes it not possible, needs to be fixed to make it possible.

Stefan said it would have been added except for the fact that the lag would be unbearable.

I personally prefer speed over realism.

You have to balance the advantages and disadvantages.

In this case, having a night/day system.

Advantages:
Looks Cool
Realistic

Disadvantages:
Takes Time to Do, Other Things Don't Get Done
Extreme Lag Leading To a) slower fights b) poor gameplay c) lag deaths

Maybe Stefan could add something to the next EXE to make day/night more clientside... like have the day/night thing already built in, and the server just checks with the clientside when you first connect to A. enable day/night effects, and B. synchronize the clientside clock with the serverside timer..... did that make sense?

Too bad it isn't possible to make it so that say if it is night all pixels are simply .something darker. That would be less laggy.

different mushrooms and such at different times would be cool too
