AFK Quick Fix!

I'm sure that implementing code for AFK time outs is not as simple as people proclaim it to be. I'm also understanding that it may not be practical, from a business stand point, to spend the resources for a short term fix.

With that said, why not just do 2-4 server restarts per day. Cleans the AFK's out and doesn't require coding. I don't think it gets much easier than that for a band-aid fix. When servers become stable and optimized with new hardware, just cease the restarts.

But hey.....what do I know..:cool:

That's my biggest issue with SE right now; they aren't trying to do anything other than wait it out. WoW has always had (iirc) an afk kick. Why allow afk players to clog up your servers when you can easily fix it. Who do they think they'll offend? I mean sure players could auto-run into a wall or something, but there are always those who cheat. The problem is right now about 20-40% of the server population is afk imo (due to perceived scarcity), and that is unacceptable to your paying customers, SE. I don't blame the players for doing what humans do under scarcity conditions, I blame SE for not controlling a controllable situation.
