Dein_Cathair: ...When these boards first came up, within a few days, I had posted about Why were'nt the weather efects in some rotating repeating form. They are in place, and not being used.
I also posted in that message that it would be easy to implement some sort of addition to the gm client, where it could be set on some sort of timer and rotate. We know Gm's can change the weather. Just make a small programmable randomizer in his client. And the ability for an on/off switch.
Or even simpler! have the Gm's do it manually on a set vtime frame. You would give him a list of what time it is suspsed to rain, etc, and he would change it manually. I know how bored GM's are.. I seen them walking around dungeons before socializing with players. I bet they have time to change the weather if they were given a printed list of times tto change the weather.

Melantus: We like that idea, and have talked about it in meetings. However it's not something we can do right now, due to all the other stuff going on. We will talk again about it internally to see if it is possible to do, once things quiet down. :)

Dein_Cathair: Mel, could you do me a favor and list all the current posible effects?

Melantus: There are three levels of fog, three levels of rain, three levels of snow. Each level is increasing amounts from small to heavy. The fog makes certain screens go white, which is why is it not used.
