Culling logout = humor, or grim reality -
Disclaimer - this is attempted humor. I'm too soused to be angry at anything :P
So, culling logout 2.0 is in place, and it is, indeed, more effective than 1.0. We can't go shopping now while our avatar talks endlessly to retainers. Ok! But there's a fancy new idea to avoid it.. just click on world transfer. In the evenings at any rate, you can now go cook dinner and do the dishes, comfortable in the knowledge that your avatar is not "inactive" and thus slips under the logout radar. Of course, you might actually end up on another world... who says there isn't justice!
One thing I'm certain of - the irony of using the game itself to avoid logout, while humorous in some quarters, might not elicit smiles from S.E. developers.... unless, of course, they change the logout again and start kicking for over_queueing. Ouch.
