Also pretty much every MMO has bots to it which allow them to stay logged in. So people will stay logged in no matter what.
I'm sorry, it must be my distain for EQ relic concepts like player bazaars. Or pershaps its my satisfaction playing MMOs with modern features such as anti-cheat to counter said bots, automated or out of game commerce capabilities, and area design which facilitates active player congregation for a more lively environment.
