Someone on Something Awful admitted to staying AFK all night

and they were still logged in this morning.

This is unacceptable. Every online game has an afk kick timer. Put one in and the login problems will decrease.

These damn goons take over every MMO they play and now they're exploiting the system to keep other players from being able to login.

FFXI didn't have one. It had the option to turn off the auto log out after a period of time of inactivity. So that won't do much good if people can turn it off.

So have several people on reddit, and I'm sure there are thousands more who are doing the same thing. I probably would too if I finally managed to get in after 16 hours of fruitlessly trying.

Yeah turning on a auto kick feature that you cannot turn off would go a long way into helping the server load. as it is now it doesn't work

As the leader of Please Be Careful/Dragongod Knightkings, the twin Something Awful Free Companies, I can confirm that this is the case. Some members are remaining online to ensure they can play when they have free time.

However, I don't believe that members of PBC/DGKK are the only ones taking advantage of the lack of an idle timeout. This is a problem endemic to every server and community, and will regrettably continue to be so until either the severe login restrictions are lifted or an idle timeout is added.

This is why no one in the MMO community likes you goons.

Don't try to justify a blatantly selfish and disgusting act.

Please Be Careful when throwing rocks when inside a glass house.

Please Be Considerate and realize that some people don't like queues.

I'm going to stay logged into this thread in the hopes that no one else will be able to read it.
