...there is a day & night cycle and they are using the same engine with minor modifications that they are using for Warcraft III. As your character walks around you can look up and see the movement of the clouds or stars. Also with this each town and area will have it’s own feel we started in a Cemetery and it was very dark and dreary. The trees were black and when we town portaled into a town things were much brighter and felt more comfortable. They want you to feel the atmosphere as it will make the game that much more immersive. Many of the buildings will have wonderful animations just one example of this was the back smith where there was a bellows moving up and down.
