Will the AFK timer be coming back at Heavensward early access & launch?

And you think with everyone and their mom standing/questing in Ishgard its getting any better? On our server we have ques even at normal evenings, especially tue wed fri and sat tho. They aren't big or long, but thats because everyone is playing regular. With everyone and their grandma (see what i did there?) comming back with 3.0 hoping that the game will have fundamentally changed so it would be interesting now which it wasnt in 2.0+ - which is ofc not the case but yknow - Servers will be topped off with people. And Instance Servers will have heavy duty work to do when dungeons are involved in storyline, which they will be ofc.

Get ready for massive problems at regular launch - the reason why i took freedays off work so i can lvl from 50-60 in the first 4 days from headstart to launch, then ill go gathering/crafting - if theres no maint, i can do that at any time.

Hoping that everything will run smooth and there wont be ques and crashes? LOL nope - not gonna happen, sorry

Oh god I hope so. I want to be able to log in.

Auto log out timers need to be put in place, we don't need AFKers clogging up the server.

dont forget kept gettign reset every 2 hours

Hmmm, I do think thing or two go wrong on early access day but I got my fingers crossed that it doesn't last whole weekend.

I should hope so. I fail to understand why it was removed in the first place, to be honest. See people idling away hours - mornings/afternoons - whole damn days in the same spot, without even moving. Just sick of it. Boot them all please. 30min should be more than enough for anyone to take care of whatever comes up to be taken care of; and if not, might as well log out anyway.

I think being AFK for 2 hours should log you out at that point for the first 2 months then it can be removed just to help deal with the surge of new and returning members.

Personally not a fan of AFK timers. I hope it never comes back.

I'm not a fan of sitting in queue for 10-20 mins like at the launch of ARR on my server but to each their own.

and then people will just go to their FC house and run in the corner to keep from logging out
