Instead, why not lock servers at true times of congestion and implement an auto AFK kick system as other popular MMO's have. There is absolutely no reason to allow people to stay logged in just to be AFK for weeks at a time.
Because AFK kick system doesn't work for PC users. There are plugins you know who will automatically keep you online at all times. Avoiding afk kick system.
