Inactive Disconnect Poll

[Takusai]

Honestly 30 minutes of inactivity is more than enough. Yes it does seem on the long side, but considering FFXI you didn't get booted at all. I can deal with 30 minutes. No more bazaar means higher FPS response. Auto disconnect means higher FPS and less network congestion. Works for me.

I'm sure they do data analysis to understand the percentage of active characters logged on as opposed to the total number of characters registered on a specific server during peak hours, and it's never going to be 100 percent. I don't know of many MMOs or multiplayer games that do not have an inactive timer. In a situation like this, where people logon and don't logoff, how can we know how many people are actually not playing? I'm sure a timer would help a lot. Say the server maxes out at 75% of total registered users. What is happening now is that same 75% is holding the server and the other 25% is never getting to play. Are there 25% logged on right now who aren't playing?

AFK auto boot now!!!

[Janeway777]

I know there are multiple threads talking about this. If you like or believe that inactive (afk) should have an auto boot

If you do not make a movement or action with your controller / keyboard in 30 minutes you should be disconnected.

Chatting , inventory organizing and all these actions would count as active. Any actions or interface with the system counts.

If your sitting there or following someone for 30 minutes with out some system interface your afk an get disconnected.

I vote / support this idea and would like to see it added before official release. like this, bump it.

I COMPLETELY support this. I would hope this would eliminate 3102 errors go away. Currently I can't log in b/c "I'm already logged in" they claim. Maybe having some kind of a time limit boot would keep the servers from being so overcrowded? I'm assuming many people aren't logging off (no matter what) b/c it's so hard to actually GET IN these days.

I think that 1 hour is perfectly fine, it gives times for those with kids and such to deal with their real life without interfering too much.

I know anything is better than nothing but an hour? I was gone an hour putting my 3 kids to bed. Something that is going to take that long yes you should log off. You give me an hour besides the days I choose to work and when I need to sleep I would never have to get off. I can do all my normal daily duties and routines w/o getting off.

I will take any timer over now timer.
