Shorter Day and Night Cycle

[WayTooFrosty 1]

First off, I apologise if this has already been a suggestion.

I think that DayZ should have a shorter day and night cycle. For example day could be 4 hours and night could be another 4 hours forcing people to scavenge for a light source or build a camp fire as night passes, perhaps camping out, up in the forest with tents and a camp fire, cooking meat under the stars with your friends or huddled by yourself, jumping at every noise. This would stop people just scrolling down the server list for a day time server to play on. If a stamina system is added people will decide to perhaps rest up for the night and get moving the following day.

It already exists. Use google ;)

It's currently up to the server which time multiplier it has.

Oops didn't know, must've been going on the wrong servers, cheers

Well, I wasn't 100% either so I googled it :P

But I knew that there is a "time multiplier" when going on server details, so I assumed it's for that purpose. To be honest, yet I haven't seen a server which switches day and night very quickly.

Yeah, this is bizarre to me. it seems there is functionality for having faster day/night but I never see it. I seems like it would be such an improvement, especially when we have working climate effects such as cold and hot.
