I think expanding on hunger and making food expire is a good thing. It will allow players to make more realistic decisions and food is easy to obtain and affordable, so there shouldn't be a problem with that.
Where we do run into problems would be for people that afk, people like having the luxury to afk and not face penalties. Unless there's a different mode where players can afk in, they will be unhappy.
Then there's storage. Storage of food and food materials should not have spoilage effects, because sometimes certain ingredients or food items are difficult to obtain, and sometimes they want to be kept for later. Also, food should not spoil if being sold in a shop or kiosk because it will become very costly if food spoiled while awaiting a buyer.
To answer the problem with storage, items obtained with an extremely low rate or obtained by ingredient hunting should last a real life 6 months.
Hunger should not be restored when leveling up and making food expire. This simple change could cause a huge difference. The game would be more realistic and seem more like an actually adventure. People would have to buy food more or make it. This would cause the cooking skill to be used more and people could have more to sell. If you get hunger in a long dungeon you could always take a break, make a campfire, and share some food. This would cause people to spend more time together. Interaction is important for a human being and we may not be able to make them interact offline but if there were harder and longer dungeons people would want a group to make it easier. If food is more important then the economy would make more money and have more to sell. If the food was to expire after a certain time(Not all foods) then people would have to constantly make and buy food instead of making or buying a lot and just going on with their daily afk life. If they eat expired food it gives less hunger restoration and a chance of food poisoning which goes away after time or cured with potions from potion making. This would cause the game to be more adventure rpg like and make people more active. If Nexon wants more money they could sell extremely good food items such nonfood expiration seasoning, 100% food restore pot, or even high grade foods and cooking tools. If you agree then please say so and if you don't then just ignore this.
