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);
Persistent Game Worlds add another option: if they have Evolving Rule Sets players need to return regularly to keep up with the changes in the game.
