Game structures making players wanting to return to certain places or activities in the game.
This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples
Using the pattern
Encouraged Return Visits assumed that there is a game to return to and that it is possible to join and leave it often, so a requirement for this design choice is that the game in consideration already supports Drop-In/Drop-Out gameplay, and typically this is done through a Persistent Game World.
Players are encouraged to return frequently to a certain part of the game space (Based upon observations in Brathwaite, 2007);
There are several different ways of encouraging players to return to games. Delayed Effects
Risk/Reward component
Persistent Game Worlds add another option: if they have Evolving Rule Sets due to designers often adding or modifying parts of the game, players will need to return regularly to keep up with the changes in the game or be disadvantaged.
