Logout Measures

I... really don't think this will solve the AFK problem. Trim it slightly, maybe, but you're still going to get AFKers that will just be up to log back in and re-idle their characters once the timing is discovered.

Though, I suppose they're out of quick solutions, and they're just waiting for the population to bleed across other servers as well as interest in the expansion to drop off.

Timing is different each time and will be anonunced 1 hour prior.

Wrong! We were only given 29 minute notification.

"[13:58]At 12:00 p.m. (PDT), we will be logging all characters out from the game. We ask you to please log out before we begin the process. More details: http://sqex.to/jbH"

Was 62 minutes in advance! The one you saw was the second warning.

These afkers that are the problem will not be able to log back in right away but they log in and got afk for HOURS like 8-10 hours while they at work or sleeping. But then I could only see this working if it was done at like noon as that when all the afkers are at the highest cause they at work like I said. But I also don't see them list a time so maybe it will be random each day so people just can't wait until after the daily purge to afk?

Thanks SE for such a "green measure". The electricity saved by making long term afk while sleeping/working meaningless will be tremendous.

Will it be for all data centers?
If not, will the eu chaos data center be influenced?

As such, we’ll be instituting a temporary measure that will log all characters out simultaneously across all Worlds on a data center once a day. Announcement for when this will take place will be made one hour prior via in-game system message. Please note that you will be logged out of the game even while inside of instances or duties.

It doesn't say. However, considering "a" is meant to be akin to "one" and it's Balmung really having this issue, it's probably safe to assume it's Aether that will be experiencing this lovely addition only. Once again, thank you, Balmung, for having your problems affect the rest of the datacenter~ ♥.

So I transfer off of Balmung due to insane login queues from people AFKing, and now I'm going to get kicked out of the game randomly because I'm still on the same datacentre... Thanks Balmung :@

Excellent. I sure do love Balmung existing. Thanks Balmung!
