    Nightfall

    I would love to see night time in game have a sense of danger when you stray from the beaten path and add some fear of the dark.

    Much like Terraria, Minecraft, XI and other games, let loose the undead during the dark hours.
    Would love to see Zombies stumble around, Skeletons rise from the earth as well as ghosts, bats and demonic spirits floating around in the darkness of the night.

    Of course keep the captiral cities and surrounding low leve areas safe at night, but the further you get away from civilization you get the more chance you walk upon haunted grounds.

    Least for me this would add to giving a feeling of excitement when traveling far out (will i make it there in time before night falls?), making it more of an adventure when exploring further reaches of the maps or when walking to far away camps.

    Would also realy like to see old ruins, graveyards, ship wrecks, monuments etc, added to the scenery of the world as landmarks and to serve as haunted spots from where the undeads spring forth.

    Yes please. Night time presents great opportunities for having a more immersive world.

    I wish exploring itself was more exciting, more unique things to find and less lvl 80 monsters in a corridor to prevent you from exploring a corridor without a few "Sacrifices" along the way.

    Hi Choyi,

    I totally agree.

    One of the most memorable (in a scared way at first, then thinking back on it, in a good way ) was FF XI's Qufim Island.

    I remember when Darkness / Night hit Qufim Island the Wights and Banshees arose... and as newbies everyone huddling together until Daybreak. Good times.

    Excellent example.

    Not an MMO, but when nightfall first hit in the original Gears of War campaign I felt very immersed. Only reason I brought this up cause GOW3 comes out soon and it's on my mind era day!

    We know

    In Black Shrout between Camp Bentbranch and Camp Tranquil there was sometimes skeletons on the street in the night. But very rare. I wish SE could put more of this ingame ^^

    Just because it isn't FFXI doesn't mean they can't add a good concept from the game back. At the moment the only monster that spawns at night time as far as I know is Uraeus. I definitely agree that there should be some more undead roaming around at night time. You don't really see them anywhere at the moment unless they are in a cave.
