NCsoft to add Fatigue System to Aion
NCsoft to add Fatigue System to Aion.
NCsoft is planning to do a massive update to Aion in February in which a fatigue system called Pneuma from Rest (non-official translation) will be added. The fatigue system in Aion is designed to cut the number of hours players spend in front of their computer screens by reducing experience points and item drop rate in order to prevent gamers from getting addicted to Aion. A similar fatigue system has been adopted in Korean WOW.
According to the system, if the gamer plays Aion for more than 3 consecutive hours, his Pneuma from Rest will start to reduce. When it reaches zero, the experience points obtained by the player as well as his item drop rate will reduce 30%, and in addition during PvP his damage to the opponent will reduce as well. But if the player takes a rest for three hours, his Pneuma from Rest will recover 100% and then everything will return to normal.
