Why? What are the reasons for not having an AFK timer? I can think of a couple of good reasons for implementing one:

1. reduce latency; removing afk players after a certain amount of time will reduce the load on the network and improve gameplay for active players.
2. increase playability; with the current setup only a specific amount of players are allowed on the server at any given time; kicking afk players after a certain amount of time will allow more active people to play.

For the life of me, I can't think of a single good reason to allow afk players to remain online. Can you?
