I finally have a good idea!

[Princess Aelya]

Everything in an mmorpg doesnt have to make sense I think there are certain things that would be better left unexplained and mysterious. like the weather for example

o ya....
i guess christmas is a bad idea considering that this world is different from ours.
and since all of you guys hate egg nog... could we make up our own drinks/potions/balms?

AND THE 3 DAYS THING WAS A JOKE

Weather does not make sense because there are no clouds.  If you haven\'t noticed, precipitation comes from the sky; and there is none in Planeshift.

I think there should be no real holidays, but there should be a holiday where you give a present to all your friends.  That would be a really good morale-booster.

That holiday should not be religious so everyone can participate.

But there should be other holidays for religion, that involve rituals or something.  Say, on some holiday, people go and hunt in a specific cave for something, and then they eat it.  Well, maybe not.

But you get the point.

Technically speaking there could be weather in Planeshift.
Keep in mind that the lower levels are alomost always completely submerged with water,
the crystal creates heat,
heat evaporates the water and the water makes, thats right clouds.
Viola rain. =)

I believe I should get more specific.  

Seasons is not the same as weather.  I have been told there are some buildings so large they create their own small little weather systems inside them.  Like the building that held the Appollo rockets.  It has been known to rain in there.  
However,  weather underground is an interesting topic.  You can have all kinds of crazy things.  Suppose the roof had a leak somewhere.  You might have an area with continuous rain.  If the place is very deep there would have to be some mechanism for getting the water out of it.  However, solid rock walls and ceilings would hold in a lot more heat than the outdoors does.  If you look up on a starry night you see all of the heat going to space. To create monstrous weather systems like large thunderheads or hurricanes requires a lot of  differentiating heat.  It takes a lot of energy to feed to them.  So it would make sense that it might rain there but the really big stuff requires more space.  As for major weather changes, say winter climate versus summer, it would be difficult to conceive of a mechanism that could dissipate that kind of heat through rock to create snow.  

I hope this explains my point of view.

I agree with whats his face, that guy who said lets keep PlaneShift mysterious. I don\'t think we need to figure out if the crystal makes heat and what not, i\'d stick with PlaneShift being mysterious. Also, I think a cool magic spell to learn is invisibilty if they have not made it yet. I hope this is the wish list i am saying this under, or else i must seem pretty stupid. Hehehehe not as bad as that egg nogg kid, lol just joking lesaron, my ideas are worse then yours   .

Mysterious is nice but the fact its under ground isn\'t mysterious. It it more interesting to me to think of it as a total underground experience rather than trying to cram the above ground experience into a form that does not fit. A Plane Shift Holiday is a super concept. However we must make one up that works under ground.
