This takes strain off their server, and makes room for people, you know, playing. People who log their character in and park it overnight, take up server space that is not needed. There's no reason to do this. Your character no longer sells stuff.

How can this be anything but good? It cuts down on the server load, future downtimes will be much, much shorter, it frees up cities and areas, so better FPS.

Overall, it's a great improvement that I thought would be here day one. It was a rookie move by SE to not have it day one, so many problems would've been solved by it.

So why do I see all these upset people?

I mean, even if logged out...with one click, you can be back in in 15 seconds.
No, it increases server load since those AFK players are replaced with ACTIVE players. Means more lag for everyone.


What do you mean 'future downtimes will be much much shorter?' that doesn't make sense? When the servers are down all users are kicked including AFKs.

Why is everyone saying it 'frees up' 'Server load is decreased' blah blah blah??? SE just opened all servers for more characters to be created because AFK players are not taking up connections anymore. This will mean MORE actives and MORE load/lag.

My main problem is 30 minutes is way too short. One hour or longer would be acceptable.
