I know this thread is a bit dated. Is the day/night cycle following the same pattern in 1.0? (Not sure if this can be covered because of the NDA. If it violates that ignore this.)
Personally I never understood why games can't take a 24 hour day and divide it by 6 and that is your day and night cycles. You get 4 hours of night and 4 hours of day on a cycle. It is more realistic but yet allows everyone access to day or night depending on where they live. Regions to the very North and Very South could be adjusted so their night and day cycles are an hour off (kind of like time zones) to give players even more variety.
