Putting forward suggestions is not whining, we are providing constructive feedback as have most people in this thread both for and against, as opposed to your post which is provocative and unhelpful. Also you have missed the point that a lot of people have made i.e. they want to play in the day AND the night, not be forced to switch servers to experience this.

To be honest I don't think it does remove the realism, just changes it. A change that I believe would make the game much more enjoyable and allow greater scope for the fantastic DayZ player stories that are out there. Having a perma day server sadly doesn't satisfy both parties. I want to experience day and night, but at the moment that is just not possible for many people like me without switching servers which is far more of an immersion breaker than changing the day/night cycle in game. The best compromise would be a choice of 24 hour or 4 hour day/night cycle servers. Then that should really appeal to the majority.

First off I have to say how much I love this mod, the developer has done a great job of allowing people to create really personal stories. If often rather painful ones! I have to agree with the OP. Myself and pretty much all my friends in Europe can only play the game in the evening, which means we only ever get to play at night. I appreciate that we can and do play on US servers, but that defeats the object, we WANT to play at night, just not all the time. I want to be able to feel the growing fear as dusk is approaching and have to decide whether to find a safe haven for the night or risk staying out that bit longer. I want to feel the relief as I see the sun slowly rise and realise just how close I came to alerting the small horde of zombies in the field close by. Sadly that doesn't happen at the moment, I have to choose between a day server or a night server. I would recommend a 4 hour day/night cycle (2 hours day & 2 hours night) that way you would still have lengthy time in day and night, but almost everyone would be able to experience the highs and lows of the day/night cycle rather than the few who are able to play 8+ hours at a stretch. It would also fit in better with the games food/water needs. I appreciate there are still people who would rather a 24 hour day/night cycle. So there could be two server types one for a 4 hour cycle and one for 24. I understand that changing the day/night cycle is probably a fair amount of work, but it is a major area in the game I think a lot of people would like to see changed as it would really enhance people experience. Here’s hoping.....
