Aion: Downtime by Design

Posted Fri, Oct 30, 2009 by Medeor

In the era of slackers it is surprising that there might be a backlash to doing nothing. All kidding aside, downtime is one of those nebulous and often misunderstood ideas in gaming. Aion includes different mechanisms for players to take a break and enjoy some downtime if they so choose. Some players don’t enjoy any downtime and view it as a waste of time. Today we review the different mechanics for downtime in Aion and how it promotes community building if it doesn’t tear apart the player base first.

Are you in favor of the way downtime is used or does it drive you a wee bit nuts? Read Downtime by Design and then share your thoughts in our forums.
