Please Re-implement the AFK Timer Kick?

[Raveykins]

This is a suggestion but I am sure it is a one that hopefully many would agree with. The AFK timer kick, why was this removed and can we please have it back?

There are a lot of people in our server that just AFK for hours or even days, the maintainence being the only thing to boot them from the game. I know that the number of people online make the que times in the servers. If you could reimplement the time, maybe to take place after 10-15 minutes of inactivity it may help let others into the game without the long que time locking them out. Even dungeons have a 10 minute inactivity boot, I do not see why the rest of the game should be any different.

I agree with this 110%. I am honestly getting tired of having to wait 5 to 10 minutes to log into Balmung, and then logging in just to see a bunch of people sitting there AFK for hours on end. Its ridiculous, why should they be allowed to remain logged in when they're not even playing the game? It just makes it harder for people who are actually logging in to PLAY the game.

I totally second this motion to re-implement the AFK boot

Right now, my FC has someone that isn't part of the FC, AFKing, and been afk for 25 hours in our house. Other games like lord of the rings online, had ways of removing people from the houses. Such as a right click and kick from house, or even a special permissions list, so if someone is afk griefing, the owner of the house can put their names into the list and take away all their permissions. Either way yeah AFK Timer should not of been removed.

Please bring this back. Its frustrating that there is a wait queue on a Wednesday morning. People shouldn't be able to log in and never log out. You're hurting actual active players.

Aye I also agree that the owner of the house/room should have the ability to be able to kick people from their house, and perhaps a ban list function so that you can lock certain people out of the house/room, without locking out everyone else too.

I just hope this post is in the correct place, it said suggestions, but I completely agree with this too.

It's just frustrating because I know people who would like to play the game, but then they have to sit behind a wall of at times, 70 some odd people. I really think that the AFK timer would help with this. Especially if they could figure out how to end the exploit it had with crafting classes back when it used to be implemented. Some people would enter into the crafting menu and start the steps and not be able to be booted when they were AFK because of that, so that was a bug.

wow! That's just creepy**never thought of such a scenario where someone would afk in another persons/FC house...a quick solution to kick said person out would be to change the FC house setting to where only members can enter. Do this briefly and change the setting back might kick him/her out? just a thought. . not sure if it'd work...

Doesn't current online population also influence character creation lockouts? I guess AFK kick also means more people can create characters on the high populated server to play with their friends without having to stay up/wake up at 3 in the morning.

I couldn't agree more !!

Actually, when I want to create a new character on Balmung, I have to first create it on another server (usually Cerberus as I'm from Europe), then pay $15 to have it transfer over to Balmung because there are always so many people logged in that I can't seem to be able to create my characters directly on Balmung

you can create new char's during off peak hours. i've done this with 4 on Sargatanas and 2 on Tonberry
