Day/Night Cycle too fast! (PVP Server)

[KSN]

The night cycle is too short to be anything more than a gimmick.

It should be extended to the appropriate length from around 8:00 PM to 5:30AM which is generally Summer Solstice night time hours for the map area of NA (give or take my rough estimation).

Players should be encouraged to use night cycle mechanics for game play evasion and port trade running of enemy ports. With enemy identification relying exclusively on line of sight visual confirmation, a longer night cycle could allow player shipping to attempt passage at night, and allow defenders/coast guards to attempt to picket and locate - but there being the chance that someone, on either side of the game play mechanic, fails to visually identify a ship.

This can increase emergent game play.

*(Also Night needs to have gradations of darkness, and not always an artificially illuminated night lighting - would be great to see moon cycles become part of the game eventually, as well as high and low tides)
