Lamps

Concerning those dubious items known as lamps...In the future if a Day/Night time system is introduced perhaps lamps could be given the use of lighting up the night and allowing for clearer and farther vision during the night. Smiths could then be able to create lamps...or maybe a new craft could be introduced - Lampmaker.

Yes it would really be nice, it is something that I have been waiting for for a long time. Though I think it could take a while to do it.

I dont believe any other games have a day/night system (apart from single player games) if not then Illarion would be the first, correct me if I'm wrong though.

Many many games have day/night system.
EQ, ATITD, AC (I seem to recall), and various others.

i dont think lamp crafting alone world be good. one or two diferent lamps? maybe carpenters can make torches also. i think a new craft would be nice. maybe a clay cradting? make some ceramics. ! you can make the morter bowl that druids need to make potions!. that can only be bought from the npc, right? jsut need to introduce a clay pit for my idea... make a lamp from clay, get a gynee!!magic gynee in a lamp! hehe

and i forgot. i know that tibia is/ casn be played free and has day and night systems

Does tibia have construction?

no but you can rent out buildings, houses, rooms. There are a LOT of rooms for rent.
I would like the game a whole lot if most of the people wern't so rude and those damn PKer's didn't ruin the game for everybody.

I only want to build! I have searched high and low for a game where i can build a DNG (no spellling error :D ((ask me another time to explain)) ) building! That is why i joined DNG Illarion!

first star online is a small 2d director made morpg/world builder with a day and night system.

But thats beyond the point. Illarion doesnt have to be the first at anything.. its already the best at everything~

hahaha well said Toren.

You really want to build buildings don't you? lol. Well i'm afriad you can't do that in illarion or tibia, but you could go out and by the Sims Online...it's an RPG....just non violent...and not fantasy themed

Well, even my own game has a Day/Night system,...ok ist not realy my its just another Free UO shard but this doesnt realy matter here.

A Light system could be very Difficult, but we will become a soon Time system, Perhaps could a short standart braodcast mesagge say when its night and when its Day, or a simple icon of a Moon/Sun in the right Corner.
I belive to make a Night /Day system Graphical is very much Work but i am not sure.

And by the way i have enough Oillamps to enlight the whole Town. *G*

The link in my profile goes to my German Illarion Fanpage sorry, i dont post the link to the game here. I belive the admins and the gm doesnt want to see links to other Games in this forum.
But the Game we make is complett german annyway, and we doesnt will make an english Version.

a day-night system would be pretty cool...but before the different time-zones had to be changed,maybe in one time(its not really bad,if the watch dont shows the real time,isnt it ?)...is it really so difficult to set the contrast of the game a litlle bit darker(at a special daytime,maybe at 6 o´clock)and switch on some lights...i dont think this would be too difficult...

or the day and night system doesnt have to be only once a day, ever 2 hours it could dim a little than for an hour it would be dark, then it gets lighter then its light for 2 more hours.

If oil lamps would be in use, we would need oil as a resource too, and we would probably have to carry oil in vases when you collect it, and fill a lamp from the vase somehow. And also, if someone threw a vase of oil on a camp fire would it explode? I hope not.

6 o'clock for what time? Germany time? America time? UK time?
