    Lanterns were added for night time, not for babby tunnelers.

    Tunneling is a major aspect of the game and I keep getting dismissed as a noob by people that can't put one block on top of another for saying we should have a way to bring light down there other than build workshops every 20 feet. And Luigi certainly deserves any criticism he gets for using things like the word "babby." This isn't 4chan.

    Look lanterns are planned to be put in but you wrote your post as if the game was unplayable without them. You can still tunnel without them, build quarters, open up the tunnel or just dig through the dark. It's not absolutely critical it just would be nice.

    I'm finding fighting in dark tunnels, only lit up by the occasional bomb to be a blast. Not saying that it should stay that way, but not knowing where your enemy is until he's in front of you is exciting as hell. I'm sure lanterns will be added in due time, but until then I am going to enjoy the dark and scary underground.

    I too am liking the darkness underground. However I still feel we need a lantern item or something asap just to make it easier to find gold, etc.

    I just got into the server that has all the new shops on it (it's been full pretty much all day). It's a lot better when you can see what you're doing, and it's a lot of fun.

    Looks like this issue is going to be very polarizing. I right now am not liking the lIghting system in place because it is obvious that it is very incomplete and lots more will be added to it. It just does not feel right compared to the last build with no lighting. I can't put my finger on it yet but I will figure it out the more I play.
    What is for sure is that the tunnel game has drastically changed depending on who you ask, for the better or worse?

    And to those who dismiss tunnels - grow up. Tunnels are a critical part of the game and the anti tunnel attitude makes me wonder if the anti tunnel people hate them because they keep getting owned by expert tunnelers. :)

    Luigi beat me when he said that lanterns were implemented to allow vision at night, not to make tunneling easier.

    This is how you know you're playing with noobs, and why the Wang dungeon system might actually work in tunneling's favor;

    A single knight and I (as a builder) dug through the end of our Wang dungeon and into the enemy's. Felt our way through the darkness until we got behind the enemy flag, dug up, broke through their doors and grabbed the flag. Of course, we got lost trying to get out, but the knight held his own and since he couldn't be seen (save for little clouds of dust when climbing between levels) he managed to run back and cap the flag.

    Wang dungeons should be the ONLY time tunneling should be used. Or if you need to break through a hill. Or if you need to dig under a big tower. Otherwise, what's the point in digging a long express lane to your flag? You can actually use the multiple levels of the dungeon strategically to confuse your enemy and get through relatively safe, as long as you keep an eye on the minimap. I can see a lot of uses for the dungeons, but it's not so much a TUNNEL as underground ruins.
