Aye - when Luclin first came and a group of us discovered Norrath time was unavailable, we made as much noise as we could along with suggestions for a tinkered watch including possible recipes. I just dont see how the poor gnomers in Shadowhaven can stand not knowing what time it is.

As for the line "The sun does not move here and without that frame of reference you cannot tell what time it is" - what a load of bull crap. In medivial times there were: water clocks, gear clocks, and candles which burned at specific rates. Aside from this - what's really annoying is that when I'm outside in Luclin and lookup, OMG - there goes a planet - and its movements can be measured and timed - so the whole thing goes out the window. It if were true, they they should revamp all the old-world dungeons and planes to not show time - because you can't see the sun.
