Step: Auto-disconnect those who AFK to hold spots.

Fixed.

I made a topic about similar issues, but someone brought that one up too. Trying to get it many likes so it grabs some attention (hopefully).

Liked.

Maybe we will get a comprehensive solution instead of maintenance after maintenance, oh and then a bit more maintenance.

Get the idling players off the servers.

FFXI had auto-disconnect please tell me they didn't overlook something as critical or even useful as that.

FFXI auto-disconnect could be disabled, and was one of the first things I'd disable any time I had to re-install FFXI. Games like WoW are hard-coded to do as much, even going as far as kicking you off of the lobby server if you sit there for too long. This would be ideal. Setting it to something like 10 minutes is too low, but 30-60 minutes would be acceptable, in my opinion.

Oh it could definitely be disabled, I should clarify that it would be nice if they had one implemented especially one with a backdoor through which, in cases like this, they could override the players setting and implement their own. IE: a disconnect timer after 30 minutes or whatever of inactivity.

Thank you for posting this. If they had a damn set up so players who are AFK 10 mins get booted from game!

10 minutes is far too low for an auto-boot and overall is more troublesome than it is useful. Go to the bathroom? Kicked. Then spend an hour getting back in. No.

Anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes is a far more acceptable timeframe, and overall 20-50 minutes doesn't really matter when compared to what is going on now, which is no auto-booting at all.

Another thing I'm wondering is if the characters who are 3102 like me currently, are also taking up slots? Because that can be an issue as well, because my friends are saying I'm in game, but I cannot log in and keep getting the 3102 error, or the 1017 error

Yep

[Zoltran]

Its possible 3102 is holding you in the game although what i can gather, and maybe somebody here can better enlighten me, is that when you get 3102'd your character is in limbo between zones, etc. as there was a problem with the hand-off from one server to another.
