Fuck I hate night-time. The candles are a nice effect but the piss-poor radius (you light a torch in a darkened room and see how far you can actually see) make them annoying. Especially for running around town and working just because you happened to login during a dark period. When it comes to night-time I've:
- Turned gamma / brightness up.
- Quit and come back in a few hours when the sun is up (a game mechanic that makes people stop playing your game can't be a good idea).
- Used a client (not Pacho's) to make it daylight again.
That said, running around dark caves is fun and having night-time as a concept is a nice idea but game-wise, it annoys the fuck outta me when I can't see shit and want to play. There's nothing quite like walking through somewhere and being ganked by a bear you didn't see or constantly walking into trees.

I can't see why most of those wouldn't be legit. I've certainly had no issue getting high Q saws or trees around the 150+ mark. I wasn't aware we could get Q200+ water though...
Message crashing should be fixed though. Can't see why that can't simply block any messages over X length or whatever the actual technical issue is.
