Seasons in zones?

[KiniRyris]

I'd say to not follow the in-game cycles since time goes so fast we'd have a change of season every week or 2. Instead change the season (fall.. winter.. spring.. summer) every 3 real months and just add into the lore that summers/winters can last years. (kinda like ASoIF)

Definitely real-time. It would be much more meaningful, like October-November is fall. Problem is that game-time would have to match or it wouldn't make sense
