Yes, that was pretty much the case. Then, those that cried for night quit anyway over something else. Like the fur lined relief tube cup in the MasterBlaster 2000Fi wasn't modeled correctly.

They're gone but we're still stuck with night.

happy new year Toad..I love ya man..lol

As its a 13 hour clock (and not a 12hour one) the period of night moves on by 1 hour each half day of real time. It therefore takes approx 6 days to go thru a full cycle.

This cycle will rarely be completed between weekly resets.

If your "prime time" is approx 2 hours long then the chances are that you will suffer/enjoy night 2 times in a 6 day cycle or at worst/best 2 times a weekly reset. (assuming you play every day). Thats 1 hour (2 x 30mins of night) out of every 13 hours of play.

If you suffer/enjoy night more than this then its because your unlucky enough to log on at those differring times that coincide with the shifting night time period.

someone has fed you a line of bull.

here is the actual code from AH.

If LoggedIn(Pongo).playtime > 10 then StartStupidNight(Now) {playtime in seconds} HT-2000/04/15

I never could figure out why htc bothered with modeling night in a game where in reality night meant no fighting. Unless of course you buy into the concept that at some point "down the road" some sort of meaningful night combat purpose would be added to "the game".

But that was a few years ago. No P61...no viable night fighter...no searchlights...absolutely nothing but.....oh yeah...AH2

Almost forgot about that one

I bet it will, although I cannot confirm this as HT will no longer accept my calls.
