I think having day and night in haven would make it look even better than it is now. I mean does this world we have crashed on not rotate? Now as for how long it will take the world fully change from day to night then back, doesn't really matter as it can many days and nights.(It could be server time if you really wanted a time to it).
Before anyone says to me that Haven doesn't have night because that was the way it was created when ,who ever put the world together (In the game), didn't add night to that specific part/plate then please don't. Unless you have a good reason other than what I just mentioned then tell me. :D

Also a few more knight (The ones that are not intractable) just hanging around haven would be quite nice too.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Apologies if this subject has already been posted many times.

1. The clockworks absorb/counter the rotation for itself, leaving the surface static.
2. We are near multiple stars, so there' always light.
3. The core of this planet is kind of "magical" and also sealed on a giant metal box
4. The world is fake and we are part of a computer simulation. it glitched so it's always day (?)
5. We (our knights) seems to be at least half-robots. Maybe our internal processor has some nightvision or special device that simulates daylight.

Wacky theories I can't say they are 100% right, but you can't prove wrong either :P

I do like the idea tho, just wanted to argue about something :D

@Little-Juances

Your number 1 point is probably the most logical. Either that or the rotation of the planet's surface offsets the rotation around the system's star, just like how the Earth's moon rotates once every 29 days, and orbits the earth every 29 days, so we always see the same side of it.

@Jaunces

a better Logical reason for a full time day is that Cradle rotates like that planet (neptune?)
Its lopsided so most of the time it will face the sun. yet it will after an entire year of rotating enter the dark side of the planet for a short time. Hence, Dark Harvest Festival is night-time in Haven

@Hexzyle: You are on very

@Hexzyle: You are on very intelligent knight. Anyway, yeah that could be the case here but then the planet must be moving very fast around the sun don't you think unless the sun is circulating the planet at the same pace.

@Little-Juances: Haha, I like all of those theories and eventhough I would like to argue back and prove you wrong. But I can't like you said... T_T

@Canine-Vladmir: That could also be the case but then again at the Dark Harvest event we don't actually see it turn from light to dark which is the point I'm trying to make. If they could actually add that it would be quite cool.
This is what I'd imagine it being like. After the update ,the decoratons have been already set up, they give players 1 hour before It turns dark in haven. So basically after that hour the transition will take place taking about 5 minutes to go fully from light to dark.

@Qwote

The difference is that Spiral Knights DOES have Night textures, which could be added to and put to use in Haven. There have been quite a few MMORPGs that I've played that have day/night cycles. Take Spirit Tales for example.
