Do us Trykers have seasons?

Now they have removed the date/time stamp when you log in I have no idea what season it is.

Theres no snow in Tryker land (AFAIK) although I think a couple of if the trees might go kinda reddish in Autumn.

We've got plenty of sun and sand (and 'beach wear' ;) ), not sure about seasons though.

is therea way to keep track of time in game? like seasons, and such, I mean it's easy to see if it's day or night, but what about wether it's dawn or dusk. Some simple / command like in FFXI would be nice.

irl i would say autum because of the leaves changing and such(back in NY) but now that i live in alaska i hate the winter because it is soooooooo cold i'd have to say i like the spring the best because it is the farthest away from the winter... that opinion carries over to the game, so i like the spring the best.

Spring. Mostly because the Zorai winter graphics are butt-ugly and highly illogical (Snow & Jungle? Hello?), so I feel always very relieved when it becomes spring.

I have seen others say this... Just because Earth doesnt have Jungles that have seasons doesnt mean that Atyst should have jungles that dont have seasons. This isnt Earth and I am glad they do certain variances on the norm.

I knew that particular comment would come sooner or later.

The thing is, a jungle with seasons (or snow) is no....jungle. Jungle is defined as "equatorial forest".

yea, that would be a temperate woodand

so unless the biology was compleatly off, a jungle would not grow unless it was very hot wet and muggy

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't some really high altitude jungles have occasional snow? I'm not talking winter wonderland here, but the occasional powdering.
