But ofcourse most of these ideas can't be fulfilled not because they dont want to but because it would require a new tileselt. But a night time would be all I want just to use the lanterns efficiently.

It wouldn't require a new tileset, but it would take quite a bit of effort to completely revamp the overworld and give purpose to night time.

What purpose would a lantern truly have? To be able to see? You have to realize that on Facebook you can't achieve the sort of effect you have on the other devices. So the only fair thing to do for Facebook users is to make it more visible. This means on Facebook it's not as dark as the other devices so they can actually see... but this also means that they have an advantage since they can get visibility as large as their resolution. Compared to the other devices, that's not fair since they only get a circle cut out, even with a lantern. Facebook users will see someone coming from the other side of the level; other devices will only see someone coming from a few tiles away.

Also, what happens if a new player logs in when the server is currently at night? It will be quite some time before they can get a lantern, and their visibility will be greatly reduced. Doesn't sound fun.

How about turning that air asia which is set up for demolition into an island just for the night, and their visibility yes would be low but thats why I had the idea of street lamps.. Whats a city without lights? They can have lights in towns,cities etc. But as soon as they step out of those areas their visibility will drop, and I never really said to make it as dark as caves that would be ridiculous, it would be better if you could actually see at night like in real life except the lanterns elp you detect certain things or give you more light than usual. A lot of people want a night/day time and its only natural for a game like classic to have one so why not?

Graal doesn't really have a way to implement multiple light sources. I tried a few different methods when I was doing the railroads, and none of them were really appealing. Also, it seems unfair to throw a newbie into a world in which they can't fully explore for a few hours. Even if they could get to Graal City they'd be stuck there unless we scatter lamps everywhere, which kind of defeats the purpose. I just don't think this is the manner in which lanterns will truly be useful.

My comments are merely directed towards whether or not the Lantern would be of use, not really whether a day/night cycle would happen.  

Zombies and bats attack start at night, you can pet birds and chickens in Graal City.  

● Tarantulas (random, eh no)
● The dark slimes in railroads set free (ok..)
● Bats roam the night sky (I like it)
● More spiders (but why?)
● Some Npc's go in their homes (I like it, make's sense)
● Creepy eyes in trees/dark areas (...)
● Lanterns hung (good idea)
● Just night related ideas (yep)



Might I add night-time would/should have a quiet, maybe crickets chirping background music, instead of that jumpy daytime music. It would fit the mood

If I was a new player and I came into a day-night system I would probably be more interested than the *other*

So you tried making several light sources the same as lanterns but it didnt work? Because there is still a huge possibility.

Lanterns could be sold cheaper for newbies to buy easier, or
You dont even need a lantern, it can have the light around you like in the caves, or again maybe the brightness doesnt change, but just make the tiles on the tileset appear if it were dark and change up the light sources maybe

The night shift should be created, lot's of people desire this. If Classic is gonna evolve might aswell start with this, plus it would give a more adventerous outlook on it.
