Realism in online RPGs

depend of the game purpose, usually we see this features on survival games

 

Not really . It can make the rpg game more HARD. Hard means more fun. Atleast for me

 

Depends. There are RPGs that have features where you feed to restore health/energy or rest to restore health/energy, but they aren't exactly anywhere close to realism since they're, most of time, things you earn in battle or buy from a shop or something else (and sometimes they act like special items for rare occasions during combat preparation); in other words, they're more like a game mechanic for preparing for battles.

I'm guessing realism would be more like survival, so every time you walk in an open world, you need food and rest after a while, or something that's equivalent to how living in the real world would function, but it would feel more like a survival game than an RPG. Imagine the hassle of not progressing, but instead, searching for food, and then having to cook the food; depending on the RPG, that sort of realism would generally not work well for progression.
