Yeah. We can leave the real seconds, but lets make it that 1 minute in real = 1 hour in game. 8 house = day, 6 house = night (in game)

What do you say about it?

Then that would be a 24 min day again. At least make 1 hour day and 1 hour night so you have 2 hour days so 12 game days in one real day

my last offer, the boundary between my happy and irritated zone is 30 min day and 30 min night. 24 game days in real day

why not just real time day and night? you guys haven't given a good reason why not to have real time. but we have reasons why we should have real time, for realistic purposes some stores close at night but you can still fight monsters during the day. so why not have real time day and night? 30 min in a day is too short, this game with the skill system and all is not supposed to be fast paced like an arcade game your supposed to take time earning money, growing crops, and exploring dungeons. say you get home from work late so the only time you can play is at night, then the in game clock will let you set the time ahead.

Because for example, I don't have free time all the day. I have about 2 hours of free time every day. Which means that I will be albe to play only at day and I will have to wake up at 5:00 AM to play at night... which is not just practical. :roll:

if the course of the game doesn't differ between day and night there is no problem to use real time
but if there is something different like more monsters real time is not okay

you don't need to play at night though. all stores but the general store close at night. thats realy it and like i said if the only time you can play is a night set the in game clock ahead, thats all there is too it.

Ah so.. but you still dont get me. If someone is playing until 23:00 and he cant buy anything....
idk.. real time is too long i think. Let's make a day 30min and night 30min. (or 35 - 25)
That would be fair i think

cant let the user chose between say like 1 hour in game 10 minutes and real time, or even more custom

general store is open 24/7 like i said in my last post and you can train your wood crafting or smithing so you dont need the black smith. and like i also said you can set the clock 3 hours ahead or 9 hours behind to whatever you want.
