Since 10 am.i was just talking how i miss the play on night yesterday since i play mostly on day when it happened for me today since i logged in its night.Ha.Well ty,but i hope it goes back to the real time

They did away with ā€œnightā€ ages agoā€¦ now itā€™s more like a slightly darker dayā€¦ ( imho ofc :slight_smile: )

The sky is ā€˜blackā€™ but its still as bright as day. I donā€™t know why they did that. Well i guess i do, but whats the point otherwise?

I believe it was because people that couldnā€™t play during daytime found it depressingā€¦ and some found it annoying being dark so they couldnā€™t see as well. So they removed it, might have been in the beta already?

Its only starts and black sky to me in Dornogalā€¦

They really should have put this on a Setting in Options. Iā€™d have it something like:

Darkness: Off, Low, Medium, High.
Cycles: 24h, 12h, 6h, 1h

Iā€™d have it Off as I struggle when it is too dark. Thankfully I play almost exclusively in the middle of the day these day. But when I did work I had to play in the evening.
But I can see that some players would feel more immersed with day / night cycles. So having the choice would be good.

I have always wished that WoW had a faster Day/Night Cycle, so the days would actually pass as you played the game. It adds so much to a game in my opinion. I think a 6 hour cycle would work best. So 1 day IRL is 4 days in WoW.

Went back to day.All as it should be now.May be eclipse.

Yeah, I think other MMOs back in the days had faster day/night cycles, and night time was actually dark. I remember being kinda scared at night in EverQuest because it was easy to get lost in the forest and more skeletons spawned. :cold_sweat:

Gamers i think i know what happened.Yesterday i was at Ibelins commemorationā€¦And i drinked black potionā€¦Its probably what was stuck on me for some timeā€¦thats what made sky dark and starry

Bro probably logged in to Hallowfall

I remember when I was young during BC the night day cycle was quite awesome and immersive - after binging a whole night suddenly the in game sunrise reminding me that I should sleep one or two hours at least to go through the day :partying_face::laughing:. The weather too was cool sometimes youā€™d get rain outdoors and it felt special.

This thread reminded me that WoW used to have actual dark nights and actual weather effects once, and now Iā€™m sadā€¦

Iā€™d actually like it as an option, or even an expansion that had that as a game feature.
Imagine areas that were literally black, apart from a flashlight you have to show you the way. Itā€™s be interesting explorationwise.

There is a potion in game that lets you turn the world to nighttime:
