So I raised the question a bit ago but because time passes so slowly this is a bug (or simple misprint?) that takes RL months to track.
Sometime within the last few weeks the mechanical daylight time, where drow become blind and vampires spontaneously combust, went from 0600 hours to 0700 hours.
Right now it is month 8, and most certainly is it the case that 0700 hours is the cutoff time for light sensitive races. This was surprise tested very recently so it is fresh in memory.
However the Wiki does not reflect this.
I'm pretty positive that the last few IRL months have also been incorrect. Night has started at 2000 hours for quite a few IRL months now, and day at 0600 for just as long. Then it changed recently, but at the tail end of the time the Wiki says.Arelith Wiki wrote: Spring (Months 3-5):
Dawn at 0700, Dusk at 1900
Summer (Months 6-8):
Dawn at 0600, Dusk at 2000
Autumn (Months 9-11):
Dawn at 0700, Dusk at 1900
Winter (Months 12-2):
Dawn at 0800, Dusk at 1800
Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Play light sensitive race for hundreds of hours over months and try and track the very slow passage of time at the exact moment dawn/dusk arrives I guess. This is not an easy one to track accurately.
Expected Result:
Become blind/combust at the appropriate listed hours.
Actual Result:
Doesn't quite seem to match the 'calendar' on the wiki.

NA.
Additional Information/Notes
This is really really hard to track. Now and then I try to stick around for the time tick over but hopefully you can imagine this easier said than done - usually I'm busy with RP, not online at the precise moments, or not in a safe position to 'test' sunlight.
Something is wrong, but I don't know what. It's either just the wiki is misprinted or there's a very slight misalignment in the passage of time that is slowly moving the months away from their correct seasons.
