    [dev1078]Guest or New Player 20min default log out

    Hey Dev's

    I have one simple matter I'd like resolved.

    When you log into a character for the first time or use a guest log in the default Auto-Disconnect is 20 minutes.

    Please Please Please put the default to "OFF"

    I know this is a small concern for many people however it's pretty dumb to always need to remember to hit OFF during log in process or after log in process.

    There is no real need to have it preset at 20 minutes anyone that wants that type of option will set it however if you ask the player base I can guarantee you that 80% or higher have it saved at OFF.

    I know this isn't an issue for many people who have the OFF position saved but for guest log in and new characters it's very frustrating...

    Thank you.


    Edit:

    Gildrein or Camate please ask the dev's if this could be done along side the config update!!!

    Please.

    I can't even think of a single reason that anyone would want to have it set to automatically log you out. Not after 20 mins, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, never.

    As the login process remeber every day:

    Remember you have a family, friends, a work....

    :P

    If you never log out, you never see that message ;p

    But I mean, if you want to leave your char AFK while bazaaring, you don't want to just guess how long it will be before your stuff is sold and have your char log out after an hour. And rarely will you go away on holiday having forgotten to log your mule off and need it to auto-log so it's not wasting your electricity/internet usage.

    Unless they implement a system where you can choose to have your char auto-log off once bazaar is empty XD

    That one got me on several occasions, I approve of the suggestions. Auto-disconnect is from the 90s. And not the good part of the 90s either. It should have never made it to this millennium.

    Simple answer is if you plan to log in and NOT move for twenty or more minutes, just manually switch it. It takes all of three seconds to do and asking devs to auto default it for you in stead of just changing it yourself (which WILL not reset until you change it again) is just lazy.

    I do not apologize for my sarcasm, I just ask that you have a damn sense of humor. I'm the comic relief, dammit!

    The problem is that Playonline Viewer will only remember 4 accounts (another thing that should be changed). So for anyone with more than 4 accounts available they have to sometimes log in as a guest. When you are a guest the auto-logout is set to 20 minutes, even if you changed it last time you logged on to that account.

    Sometimes you forget to change the setting, and come back from an afk to find you have logged out. This shouldn't happen.

    Because I'm too lazy to explain to you just why your argument is stupid, I'll just use math instead: It would take them all of half a second to change the default, which would save everyone doing this three seconds every time it happens, which adds up to a lot. Simple math, laziness wins.
