seeing mist

[Richard]

Afaik the server goes realtime with CET. When you have time difference with the server you will be playing in the dark.

No, it's not.
The time can be set to either real, random, fast or 0-24. Real being what you said, I think.
And weather can be set to the ids 0-45.

So you're either having very bad luck with the weather, or you're talking bullshit
I'll go with the first.

Just ask an admin to set the time to 12

Edit: I see what you mean now. It was due to the flying Dutchman, the mist didn't end. Someone forgot it, I guess. Fixed now.
