Yeah, that's probably the best suggestion for autoafk.
By the way, the Zzzz things would probably look better if they were more animated (as in smoothly zigzagging upwards in a loop in sync with the breathing animation; more easily said as "breathing the Zzzz in and out").
This message used to be meaningful.

Back on topic: I suggest use that dead animation maybe with those Zzzz things (which are not necessary IMHO), it would be nice feature and easy to implement I think. We have more important things to put our art work artists time to, but if something can be done nicely using material we already have, why not?

Regards.

What would sleeping achieve though? Employing needs in games has a novel interest level to it, but gets old quick.
Sleeping usually means that your character regains hp and mp in most games. It could be a skill learned at a semi high level (even thought sleep is rather easy to learn IRL :P). Maybe it could be twice as efficent as the sit commando?

Yea, I guess it would be like sitting, only you can do even less. Metabolism increases, but you can't use items... or maybe you can't even chat.

Just an idea... maybe we could have sleeping for faster HP recovery and meditation for faster MP recovery? Besides that it would both have the same effect, like not being able to chat or use items.
Maybe both could have an increased affectiveness as time passes. So sleeping for 60 second would be more then twice as effective as sleeping for 30 seconds.

Yeah, that was more or less what I thought off :)
