Bright nights is a bad trend I've noticed in modern games.
Looks ugly and not immersive.
On practice MO1 had the darkest nights of all the games I have ever played and traveling around with torches was cool.
Issue? People would just logout until night was over and SV actually admited player population would drop on nights.
Also imagine having little playtime available and login during night, well, time to play something else.
Yes it's kinda weird they had another shot at extremely dark nights again, knowing what happened in MO1.
