Idle check. We need to talk about it.

1. Yes, if you sit afk an hour while doing other stuff while others are trying to get in, yes you should get kicked.

2. Takes you an hour to go to the bathroom and get a drink? If so, then yes to that too.

So getting kicked for being AFK for 5 minutes is reasonable? No wonder new MMOs tend to fail once they hit the western demographic.

Where in that sentence do you see five minutes?

I never said 5 minutes, someone else did. And yes, 5 minutes is way too short of a time. I also think an hour is actually too long. I'd say 30 minutes is good if you give a 5 minute warning after the 30 min time frame.

Getting booted after being afk for an hour sounds reasonable. Definitely better than the situation now where you can afk forever. I forgot and left my character logged in once in a previous phase and when I came back she was still in-game and this was close to a 24 hour period. Crazy.
