I don't share that reasoning. We have seasons because the staff thought it would be nice to have them, perhaps that it would add a lovely detail to the game. We don't have them because the game world is a round planet. That's like saying: "Since we have water in the game, we probably have hydrogen."Q-wert wrote:As there are seasons and the climate changes in accorance of latitude Illarion is most propably a round planet with a tilted rotation, similar to Earth.
No.does this mean that people in illa land live to be 240?
The general assumption in fantasy games is: "Everything not described different from what we know, is how we know it." General concepts such as fundamental physics, weather, how plants and animals live, human mortality and even social structures are as they would be in a 'real' world, given the exceptions explicitly given by the game world.I don't share that reasoning.

I think it is fundamentally flawed to jump to such big conclusions based on so few information in a fantasy game.
I do not challenge that assumption, I challenge the range of question to which it can be soundly applied. There is a big difference between "Will my character die if their head is cut off?" and "Is the world round?".Q-wert wrote:The general assumption in fantasy games is: "Everything not described different from what we know, is how we know it."

Just to make it clear for me.Nitram wrote:The stellar object we are playing on (no matter if it is a sphere, a ellipsoid, a cube or a disk) orbits the sun in 365.08 in game days. And so every twelfth year in the game is one day longer to compensate the offset and to avoid any havoc with the calculation due to real life leap years.
