But since yesterday's restart, it seems to rise an set at different times!

Midnight is - or was - at 12, 4, an 8. Yet it was full dark at almost 11 last night, an Torley Linden's office hours at 7 this morning were inky.

Is this jes me seein dis? Also, will dis cause troubles for people who do events dependant on light or dark - like, oh, fireworks?

Ya.. but I rather like havin the sun fade out before the show, then come back naturally afters. Jes feels a little more organic to me.

Yes, but they changed theirs, too. Did't they?

It jes seems to be "off time," No difference to day length or anyting like it. Torley had not seen it (using the Windlight client an all, dat handles it different), an it seemed to not be caught as any sort of bug or nuttin yet.

Maybe its cause of winter? =P

Like alaska has longer days/nights depending on time of the year.. maybe they felt like something similar?

That's a very interesting question. Is it possible they put the clock back, but forgot to put the sun back? It's on a four hour cycle isn't it? (Three hours sun/One hour of moon.)

I tink you just hit the nail onna head there. They *did't* change the day/night to match the time change.
