I read recently that Aion have imposed some limit on playtime to a maximum of 300 hours in a month. (This works out approx. at 10 hours/day.) What are your thoughts on this being say applied to other mmos? Would it stop you playing it or do you think it could be a useful addition to curb excessive playing? I personally think that number could very easily be brought down to 250 and still allow 99% of people to play as much as they liked. |

I am not sure how much this would really help with gold farming or botting. If it does not help with those issues, I see no reason for it. |

I am fairly certain there is a same exact thread in the Aion Forum. |

Let the parents impose the limits, this should not be the work of the game company. And I would be pretty pissed off as an adult if my new MMO doesn't let me play as much as I wants. This is just a very stupid idea and I bet you a dollar that there will be many angry threads on Aions forum about it. |

You are correct and I'm discussing it here in the general forum applying the idea to other mmos as a practise. |

No is the simple answer. As i understand it this is aimed at the asian markets and frankly has no place in the western world(and shouldnt really have any place in the eastern world either to be honest), there will be a different pricing stratergy for western gamers. |

Well it's purpose is to curb excessive playing. Though there is also the idea that gold-farmer/botters might not be able to play 24/7. I think there is a possibility they could just change accounts however.. |

http://news.mmosite.com/content/2008-11-20/20081120005918847,1.shtml This is just an Aion idea currently but for a 1 month card you can buy up to a max of 300 hours playtime. (I don't know if you can get around this via the addition of 3 hour/30 hour cards) |
