Extremely Dark night question.

[hellscomfort 2]

I joined a server last night and knowing it was going to be night time I turned up my gamma and brightness.

I could not see anything but stars. Where the stars stopped was simply black, no silhouettes nothing just solid black.

I would like to know if there are more servers like this, where gamma does not increase your ability to see at night, it was thoroughly enjoyable actually having to use flares etc without being at a disadvantage should you run into bandits.

So:

Is there a way to tell if a server is like this before joining?

and

Is there a list of such servers anywhere?

Every server should be like this if they're running past 1.7.1, but the hotfix coming shortly is supposed to be making nights slightly more visible. Only time will tell to what extent it's being changed, though.

Being fixed in the new hotfix.

personally I hope nights without moons stay as such. The other server I got on that night after the black one went down said it was 1.7.1.1 as well but it was not nearly as dark.
