Welcome to Cove

I have been playing on and off with dark nights. Especially on hunts, patrols and sentries. I find it more amusing and especially more exciting!
It adds a lot to the atmosphere, especially if one gets creep-ed up upon. It takes a lot of role playing to pull it off (playing with dark nights that is).

Just wondering if there are any others playing with dark nights in the guild!

I always use dark nights, unless were doing a big battle and its night.

 What the hell is Dark Nights?  ???

Sometimes.

Dark nights is found in the option panel. It makes the UO nights like real nights. (Really dark.) And light sources gets a real purpose.

 Just tried it... but now I have to walk around with a torch everywhere..  :(

Aye mate. That's the point! I know it leaves you at a disadvantage, but you are a bigger role player if you manage to role play with dark nights on in my book!
And it makes things more exciting :P

I play with Dark Nights at all times, except for major battles; unless ofcourse I forget to turn it off, than I just watch as everyone vanishes.

Tried that a couple of times. Might be fun, but my GPU was working for a week with burned-up cooling fan, which somehow damaged it and now I have the screen a bit darker, so I don't use this function atm.

I use it sometimes, aye.

I must admit it's very occasionally, but when I do it does make things a fair bit more interesting!

I think it's great except that not everyone uses it, so they have a huge advantage.

I always use it!

I dont quite get it, it makes sense in dungeons where there is no light and stuff, but well...i know alot of you dont venture outside the house, but outside under the moon at night, it isnt actully that dark

You have apparently never been in a dark forest with a girl ;)

I use it sometimes - and it could be used more especially for hunts and plotlines to make things more atmospheric.

I wish UO nights were longer in general. They add great atmosphere.

Well, the pansy ML elves have night vision so they never see nights.
Maybe the hideous SA gargoyles will have day vision, so they always see nights! :D

I wish UO kept the day/night lighting cicle though.
The code exists and works just fine, but it was turned off shortly after the launch because it caused too much lag. Much better connection people have now so I say turn it back on!

In some events we've made Dark Nights compulsary. I remember Joey leading some damn fantastic events with dark nights on.

Its great to make it compulsary for some stuff - its uber, but otherwise individual choice.

Craziest Event? Dark Nights On, Approaching Names Off - Serial Killer about >:)

I use it pretty much all the time apart from battles and screen shots for reports etc. Been using it since me, Mela and Hoagie made that huge BoC recruitment banner. It just looked so good with dark nights on, and makes UO a lot more interesting to me, IMO.

Super cool event idea! I want to do this

Aye, that'd be sooooo cool with the undead as well!

no, i like to be able to see who im kissing after that one time...

Yes, after your sheep incident I would too, I reckon.
