In legend, if you are a fairly high leveler you don't give a crap
if its night or day, because you have a permanent light source. I don't e
ven bother checking the time most of the time because it is lmost useless
to bring back the 'night' feeling in the mud, I thought of several
solutions:
1 most easiest solution is to remove the slot, but
create mages would complain about their orbs and imms would have to
deal with people who have strung world peaces.
2 make it so that in the night, you will have a harder time seeing things.
such as, if someone leaves or enters the room, it would only display as
'Somebody leaves east', or if someone does an action, if you are not group
ed with them, it would only display as "somebody does so and so" (this can
be prevented by maybe a 'watch' command, which would enable you to see
what the person is doing if you have a light.) maybe this is where night v
ision could be a bit more handy (lets you see socials)
3 the last idea I have would probably not be the most popular idea.
it is to actually reduce the amount of perc that you have during the night
if you don't have night vision after the perc loss, then the light
would only make the room a semi-lighted room, (like Southland's room)
except for that you can see your items and not anything on the ground.
These are only suggestions...I think when its night time, you should be able to
tell the difference between night and day
I remember as newbie that night time had a kind of 'feeling' that it was out
side

Maybe those of you with 50+ perc with night vision might not
notice the difference, but for me, night is still night. Most of
the time, I can 'feel' that it is night when certain gates are closed,
certain shopkeeps annoy me, or when certain mobs go agg on me.

I know that, but if you were to hang around the desert with a perm light
source then you would NEVER know the difference, except when the moon
comes out or you type "time"
I think night suppose to be...uh, dark?

really bright light.
but seriously, with skill trees, i'm sure something could be coded
regarding position so that there will be parts of the room that
are in "shadows," allowing people to sneak up on people. Heh, although
i think it'd be a coding nightmare to calculate shadows for every light
source in the room, a simplified version could be interesting, nonetheless

yeah, something like that would be nice to add a dark feeling, you know?
maybe with more lights in the room you'll be able to see more, or somethin
like if you were alone in one room with a lamp, you might miss some items
that are fallen on the ground, something like that
