You get too technical, Majik is a FANTASY world. We DON'T need normal evolving system, besides what's the point having long dark time if there isn't also cold winters. If temperature just stays normal mortals would have no need to play differently in winter. I'm not saying that everything should freeze solid but I'm saying that at least almost every place should have snow (those lava lakes and enchanted areas are ex ception). We could have a little different world and mortals really should do something to keep themselves warm or then die to cold! This would also make other than combat magic actually useful or even essential and encourage people to study other magics than just those normal combat or healing magics. I recall that there won't be much combat in majik so we need some other heavy reasons for players to study magic. - Beregar (Beregar@majik.netti.fi)
