Mini Games

Main Hall
One would be the main hall that would like have clerk Npc in the front that could explain the rules of the game for you, etc. Also he would sell items available only to those of a specified rank or something. The items he sells would just be for Aesthetics only, like a cape or some other gear that doesn't give any advantages. It would be sort of like a reward for you winning all those hard games, and you'd have to pay with ticket/tokens.

Challenge Room
Then in this 2nd room would act as a Challenge room, upon walking in, you'd gain some kind of buff or something that will allow you to challenge or to be challenged by other players to a specified Minigame. I was thinking they could make a Special card game made for Aion specificaly, like how there was a certain card game from one of the FF games... I forgot which one though. Also some other Minigames that fit in well with the game.

Well anyway, when you challenge or is challenged by someone, there will be a little popup If you are challenged or is sent to the person that you did challenge on if you want to accept or not.

Well anyway when the person who got the Challenge popup hits Accept. You and the opponent get transfered to a nearby room. Which is Room 3.

Game Room
When you get transported to this room you are already sitting at a table playing the specified game. In this room, anyone can access it also just by walking in. They could even observe the game thats being played by clicking on the table. But whoever is in this room cannot Challenge another player because your buff would disapear upon walking out of the Challenge Room. When the game is done, you and the opponent are transfered back to the Challenge Room. Also the winner would recieve Tokens/Tickets.

Rank System
I was also thinking this should have a ranking system for more fun and this is how it would work.

When you challenge someone and you pick which kind of game, there will also be an option to where you can make the game a practice match or something so you won't lose any of your ranking points. Or you can make the game ranked, so if you win you will receive points that make that rank go up. Depending on your rank, you will be able to purchase different Items from the Clerk NPC in the Main Hall. There would be a rank penalty system though, so if you're say, rank 100 and beat someone with a rank of 700, you'd receive less points than if you beat someone of a higher rank than you. Or something like that.

Some Reasons for some of these options!
The rank system is Mostly to prevent cheating, like leting someone win and they get free ticket/tokens and be able to buy their prizes... So instead, they'd have to earn their reward by getting their rank higher. Also just so others would know what level player you are. So people don't face a difficult person by accident just because there was nothing to tell him so. Also the rank penalty thing is to prevent people from getting their rank really high by only beating Low Ranked players only.
And...Uhhh =p The prizes are just for fun
