No matter what time of day or night it is, my RL is stuck at 15. If I go underground the RL drops accordingly, or if Im near a different light source the RL score moves around. The problem seems to be limiited to overworld. in the middle of a field with no light source of any kind nearby other than the moon my RL is maxed out at 15. As such there are never any monsters on the surface.
Has anyone encountered this?
The difficulty is not on peaceful. If i reset the server and log back in there will be some monsters on the surface that seem to have spawned into the world along with me but then no new ones will ever spawn.

This is a long-standing bug. Even though the real light level at night is 4, it says 15, I'm guessing. Everyone has this bug, not just you. It seems that minecraft only judges sl level based on whether the block is exposed to the sky, and doesn't factor which time of day it is.
SL = (for sky light) The amount of light from the sky at the block your head is in. Note that the number shown here is only accurate during the day. It shows the light level the block would get from the sun in full daylight, but does not account for the lower light levels at night or during a storm.
RL = (for raw light) The total light level where your head is, equal to max(bl,sl). Note that because the "sl" field is factored in here, this field has the same caveats as that one.
So at night, im the middle of a field...im getting BL:0 SL;15 RL:15.
This is normal yes? Either way the issue was the complete and total lack of monsters. Noone on the server can ever find a monster except in caves. Difficulty is set hard. Ive tried resetting it to passive to despawn everything then setting it back to hard. Nothing. Big vast empty plains. Not a mob in sight. Its making it extremely difficulty to gather mob drops. (damn you ender pearl! I want the ender dragon!) Anyway...is there something im missing? I thought maybe with RL being 15 i had ID'd the perp but i guess not =[
checked server settings already. Only one i could see that would affect that was the mob spawn which is set to True. As for plugins, there arent any. Simple ol' 100% vanilla survival server. We're simple folk lol. They DO spawn. Just not on the surface. We find them in caves on occasion but still not to the degree on any server we had prior to 1.7.2. The old server....you peak your head outside during night and you'd get mobbed (excuse the pun) instantaneously by a horde of everything. Hard difficulty is just that, lol.
Now it seems like i should whip out a camera every time i happen upon a mob. "And here we have the elusive zombie in its natural habitat...they are almost extinct now, what a lucky find!" -.-

Moderatorif mobs arn't spawning on the server then it could be something to do with server setting or plugins or just simply the mobs spawn/despawn radius
