That would be very cool.  You're right, as well, it wouldn't be
difficult to implement and it would add to the realism.

	Have the environment lighting change based on the server's time, 
so that everyone will have day/night at the same time..  dare we dream 
for weather conditions/visibility?  (imagine how much faster client would 
run if all this stuff were handled by a whopping fast server?)

I was thinking of something like a real-time clock an a wall or something..
("Oh shit! Late for class/work/etc!!" :)

BTW, this group just showed up on my server... Is there a FAQ for Quake yet? 
I'd like to sort out rumor from fact.. I don't want to speculate too much,
but from the looks of it, it won't be out until next Christmas or so...
