So I have to do a total shutdown every time I need to leave the computer for more than a few minutes.
Assuming Windows, I never 'locked' it myself so I'm not sure how many options there is to do that. Does a screen-saver with the password query disconnect you also? Or was there any other way...

I can imagine the log-in screen 'crashing' FFXI right away if it takes you there.
But yeah, I just can't even remember how that works in Windows, since I didn't really ever use it, but I can say that using Linux it is perfectly possible to lock the screen and FFXI (and everything else) will happily keep on running. ^^


As for the topic itself... I for one don't have that many accounts, and need not the Guest log-in feature at all so this doesn't really concern me, but I wouldn't be against it either.

Perhaps one solution would be adding this option to the FFXI-Config utility instead of the in-game options (or better yet, make it both).
