Torches.

Why doesn't anybody use torches? Probably because we don't want to have to wait 24 hours for the linen to grow out of the ground.
Seriously, with darkness handicapping players from playing 50% of the time, why are portable light sources so hard to acquire?

It shouldn't be that hard to improvise a torch, take 5 branches, tie them together with string, maybe add a piece of bark or resin to keep the torch burning for a decent amount of time.
You see a masterful engraving by Blaze. On it is Blaze, bears, boars, and foxes. Blaze is striking down the bears. The boars are screaming. The foxes are in a fetal position. The image relates to the return of Blaze in the late winter of 2009.

Or make an asston of new chars!
The world I love The tears I drop To be part of The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you
The world I love The trains I hop To be part of The wave can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to

Torches should also, in some way, display how much burning time is left, for realism *and* gameplay
...and justice.

...great justice?
