    Did anyone else notice Shadowmoon Valley's night being darker?

    While watching the above video and the preview panel, I realized that the night of SMV is way darker than the current in-game night time. But I'm worried that this is only in SMV since the zone is supposed to be perpetually in night-time so they may have given it special lighting. I really hope this is indicative of night time in the entire game though, and not just the new SMV.

    it's a 24/7 darkzone...... They even discussed it's plotpoint eternal darkness on a panel. SHADOWMOON Valley

    Of course it's going to be dark

    I doubt they'll ever make Azeroth as dark as it used to be :\
    People complain if they could only play at night time.

    But as Anaxie said, it's because that's what Shadowmoon is meant to be.
    I love the moon though, it has such a Majora's Mask feel to it.
    We stopped searching for monsters under our beds when we realized that they were inside us.

    Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

    I think it looks great. I hope it looks that good for the rest of Draenor as well. Shadowmoon has a kind of Azuremyst Isle feel to it as well. Which is also cool.

    Congratulations on not reading and/or comprehending what I wrote. Let me point it out.

    I know it's SMV, I know "of course it's going to be dark". I was discussing the possibility of extending the zone's night intensity to other zones, since it clearly is considered playable in SMV.

    I'm really liking what I see for Shadowmoon Valley so far. It looks completely awesome. Also, I like that the east end of Karabor seems to be a large port of some variety.

    Also, what if that little moon on the other side of the larger (and many-scarred) moon is Azeroth!
