In the fantasy MMORPG World of Warcraft, the wishes of many role-playing players are finally coming true: The nights in Warlords of Draenor will be darker again, allowing the day-night cycle to return more prominently to the world of Azeroth.
About two months ago, we reported that Blizzard apparently plans to approve “darker nights” again. Our editor Katja had then drawn conclusions about the darkness level of the nights from a screenshot.
Nights in Azeroth used to be “dark,” but over time they became increasingly day-like, rendering the day-night cycle that many RPG players appreciate absurd. As the images from the beta of Warlords of Draenor now show, the night has indeed returned to World of Warcraft. Whether it will be as full of dread as in the Game of Thrones quote “The night is dark and full of terrors” remains to be seen.
And on Reddit, some are already mocking: One cannot speak of a real night. At most, it looks somewhat dim or shady in the pictures.
