I'm curious what sort of purpose that would be needed for? Yes it went from day to night after crash but PC's stay up through multiple 'day' cycles anyways. What may be 4 hrs RL is like what 3 nwn2 day cycles if not more? (im exaggerating im sure but that's the gist.)

an example

Tradeway bandit waits till night time to raid some adventurers on the tradeway. After waiting patiently for a few IG hours he finally finds a victim. He confronts victim with usual bandit stuff (gimme gold this is a robbery). Server crashes and now he is suddenly robbing this guy during the day -> rp ded

another example

Sharran priest waits until midnight to sacrifice selunite to shar. He prays to the lady of loss while sharpening his knife patiently waiting till night reached her peak. Server crashes and now suddenly its daytime -> rp ded

another example

Drow is hired to kill / capture surfacer. He waits until night to stalk his target and when he finally finds it the server crashes. Day time -> ded rp

To some characters rp time is very very important

Which is understandable that it is, i have it with my own chars.

But I do not see how it would outright kill it. If there are others around you just work it out that hey it still is dark. Or yourself. If need be throw a darkness spell to add that 'dark' affect.

Off the top of my head I am unaware if it is a hard thing to set. But one can always work around it if need be!

There used to be a thread on the same topic a while ago where AoS (i think?) mentioned that it is not difficult to have it carried over. It was then changed to do so but for some reason does not work anymore.

Yes, having Time to carry over through Resets was a huge quality of life improvement!!!

I would have liked if daytime stayed on longer than nighttime.
Simply because visually the game is more enjoyable for me during daytime.
