Institute Temporary AFK Kick Timer

[Invz]

I would only agree to an AFK timer if there was an option to turn it off.

Everyone agrees... please add this ASAP!

Not I, don't speak for me.

So you're against AFK logout timers and for people who aren't actually playing the game going AFK the entire day and occupying a server slot that an active user could be accessing.

Thanks, got it.

I'd rather the datacenter problems get the priority than an afk timer that will be situational at best. Implement it, don't implement it, I don't care. Just don't put in a fix for an effect before fixing the actual cause.

Agreed fix the real issue.

Personally I'm glad they aren't rushing into this. It was never in place for FFXI or 1.0. I, myself, do log out at night and I do not log in before work to reserve my spot. We shouldn't have to. THAT needs to be fixed and it sounds like it will. But I don't ever want to ne kicked for inactivity. EVER. If they implement it I would be ok if it was like 2-3 hours at least. JMO.

I believe FFXI did have an inactivity timer but you could turn it off

heck afk timer as a temporary measure. make it even something along the lines of 4-5 hours afk it boots ya and it would have a great effect. been sitting here for 4 hours trying to log in.

I'm going to say no too.. sorry. And someone saying it took them three days to finally log in. I find it hard to believe. Yesterday i logged in and out 4 times, 1st tries got in..

I don't really get why some people need to be on for over an hour doing nothing.
Why would it be so bad to just log on again? Why do you need to fill that slot while not playing? What's the advantage here?

Was doing a date and saw someone AFKing at the Amaljaa encampment. They definitely need a timer to combat this.

In the meantime while you're contemplating whether or not an afk timer will or will not be added why don't you at least remove the 1017 gate and simply put us in a que? I wouldn't mind if I was #1000 in the que; just knowing that my login actually counted is a bit of reassurance rather than just saying "try again later". If I play the click-click-login game anymore I'm gonna break my mouse. An immediate temporary solution is in demand: The que system needs to be consistent to ALL login attempts rather than the random dice roll that it is currently.
