Weirdest Reason For AFK?

[Bluevann]

"brb, party members in my other MMO screen are about to kick me for afking."

Did that once in FFXI during dynamis, except it was mt. dew and a pain in the butt to clean afterwards cause it got sticky.

Not in this game but one guy went afk because he had to get a haircut right before the last boss, he had lead and left. So it was either wait for him to come back or drop squad and re-run the dungeon. I forgot to mention but he was the tank so we had no choice.

Not all of us are.

Not so much the AFK message but what followed:

"BRB. Going to the bathroom"
"Have fun!"

"BRB OGC"

(old linkshell member in xi, don't think he was joking either...)

"Brb wife aggro" - not weird, but funny~

So back in FFXI days I'd get a few invites for XP parties with JP players; mainly due to the name. So one party was running in G. Citadel, and I had to use the restroom after a couple of hours. So of course sent a message "wc brb! >.<" and went along to do my business. Taking a bit longer than I thought I got back to one of the JP asking in auto translate " {Cat} に落ちる？" or something similar. XD

Fell into cat? Huh? xD

Just two days ago was "Brb dog puked in my room again".

I love my dog, I really do, but old dogs can make you go crazy.

Yep, I was about to say the same. This is also my case and you can't prevent when they are going to wake up in the middle of the night...

^THIS. My kid is 1 month, and he's waking up really randomly, and many times when I'm in the middle of a boss fight. I try not to quit when that happens, but life has its priorities.

Had a tank go AFK on WP because the person who lived in the apartment above her had their dishwasher break and water was leaking through the ceiling onto her or some such.
