It adds, but this is already taken into account, in a smart disguised way.

        Or it means I sit my character around for a while before I save or whatever else.

        The idea of physical fatigue is being discussed as a balancing issue (eg,

      balance that, and also apply same rule to other physical activities in the game.
     
     
Agree: physical activity, right now, is the only main component not needing recharging.
I think we can consider mental fatigue is already taken into account in the fact you need
to reload your mana or pray for your grace to increase (btw, i think grace increases too easily for 
now, it's too easy to cast then prayer spell than pray 3 seconds then recast. This is non sense :p,
in role playing praying take at least 1/2 hour on games like add :D)

Well, may i speak about a particular player asking Mids to restore a backup of his character because
he felt aslept on keyboard and died of starvation the whole night, losing about 50 levels :p
