Please for the love of god

start doing periodic server restarts to kill all these AFK losers.

Other people that have lives and don't have time to sit in front of a computer for hours on end would like to play some.

Problem is that if they restart everyone who is currently playing gets booted. These people all rush to relog. This places immense server strain, some servers probably end up having severe issues. Now it takes many hours longer than it would've for the World to re-open and run stable.

This is why they won't do it.

AFK timer, I have only seen 15 thousand people ask for it.

Anti-AFK macro. They're using one to log in, not hard to just leave it running and beat most AFK detection systems. Simply put, any fix is easily circumvented within minutes of implementation or risks breaking their servers.

Still seems better than half the server being afk. no one is getting in any ways.

We need new servers and server TRANSFERs now, like last week in fact.

let add the Gil famers too >.> i hate the spam in the citys

Do like every other MMO developer does: put timeouts on inactive characters, if they stand in the same place and no actions are being performed for a long period of time then boot them from the server.

Breaking the servers AGAIN is not better than half the server being afk, as atleast half the server is playing. If you break the servers, no one plays.
