I feel sure this has already been said somewhere upthread, but if everyone who feels this way says so, perhaps we'll get an idea of how much this particular problem matters.
The big problem with rain from my POV is that it's one more thing that makes it harder to see the territory around me. With darkness and rain together, I log off, particularly if I'm on dark coloured terrain - and quite a large portion of world 14 seems to be composed of dark coloured terrain.
I'd rather be playing right now than posting here - but it was raining when I logged in, and fairly early in haven's night.
Other than that, the rain is cool, and I like the idea of it having interesting effects, if not quite as drastic as some of your suggestions.
But at the same time, I'm impatient for someone to produce a client mod that removes the visual effect entirely, and just shows some indicator that it is or isn't raining. (No, I'm not motivated enough to learn java for that purpose. I just hope someone else is.) Because I can't play when I can't see.
