Server restarts to boot afk players?

You don't need to kick afk players. All you need to do is add something that after 24 hours gives you 90% exp penalty and unable to lot on drops. When you can't do anything without logging out, THEN you'll have people do it on their own will.

And if anyone wants to argue that it will ruin the game for people who play 48 hours in a row, then feel free because I don't care about that minority.

I beg to differ. Yes... you do. This is why having the game client go unresponsive and error 90k is a rage button. I promise you that if those little selfish sh--err... exceedingly self-motivated diminutive rascals were kicked off after fifteen minutes we'd have to spend a lot less time fighting the error 1017 nonsense. Granted I'd prefer those reported for doing so and found guilty getting a three day vacation but sadly the world isn't perfect. Also your solution has one problematic fault... it likely wouldn't persist past server resets and maintinences and we're having those daily.

Did you for some unknown reason stop at the first period you found? I stated you don't need to kick them because they'd log out on their own free will if they were penalized by being online past 24 hours. And in the case my solution fails because there was maintenance within 24 hours, it isn't like they weren't kicked out at maintenance and everything is working anyway.

People shouldn't get a ban (even temp) for being afk in game for long periods, regardless of how frustrating it is. But I definitely agree with the random server resets/kicking of afk players.
