Institute Temporary AFK Kick Timer

[Pooky]

I've been able to login to Leviathan every day. Sometimes it takes 30 mins of login spam and sometimes it takes less. But I get in eventually every time. It would be nice if instead of having to spam, I could get put in a queue so I can go do chores without having to sit in front of my computer hitting a button for a while, but I'll deal with it as long as it gets better soon. I understand some people may not be willing to do that and I can't blame them for getting frustrated. Just saying that if you wanna play, you can. As long as you have a char on the server that is.

I don't understand though why the AFK timer will not be implemented till server upgrades are done. With an AFK timer you may not even have constant full worlds thus not need to upgrade current servers/add new worlds. Although I suppose SE has data that might indicate otherwise. I do hope they don't go nuts with new servers though. I will deal with 30-45 minute login processes right now to have healthier servers 3 months from now.

i would love an afk timer aswell

I think their "Wait and See" approach is beyond ridiculous, seems like they don't value their playerbase.

Agreed. The only people complaining are the ones abusing the fact that there is no timer. WoW implements the same thing and there are no complaints or issues with it. I think 30 minutes to an hour is sufficient, with a warning ten minutes prior. I've seen far too many AFK players in towns, it's not fair when there's a player cap. If SE doesn't implement a timer I think I'll lose a lot of respect for them.. They are putting more value in a small group of players (Ones that AFK to take up server space), rather than the large one that wants to actively enjoy the game.

I love Yoshida, you know, but coming back home after 10 hours of work trying to login in and seeing "world full" is just soo frustrating... ._.

I'd rather the datacenter problems get the priority than an afk timer that will be situational at best. Implement it, don't implement it, I don't care. Just don't put in a fix for an effect before fixing the actual cause.

Personally I'm glad they aren't rushing into this. It was never in place for FFXI or 1.0. I, myself, do log out at night and I do not log in before work to reserve my spot. We shouldn't have to. THAT needs to be fixed and it sounds like it will. But I don't ever want to ne kicked for inactivity. EVER. If they implement it I would be ok if it was like 2-3 hours at least. JMO.

Agreed fix the real issue.

I believe FFXI did have an inactivity timer but you could turn it off

I would only agree to an AFK timer if there was an option to turn it off.

So you're against AFK logout timers and for people who aren't actually playing the game going AFK the entire day and occupying a server slot that an active user could be accessing.

Thanks, got it.
