AFK Kick Timer

i was actually playing hte game thats why there was a couple hours between my posts. But you are right its pointless for people to be upset and asking for an afk system at this time because they are working on a fix already. and its gonna be fixed and if its not fixed by the 4th the game will probably die anyways which then would fix the issue in its self.

They have a team of programmers who could work on it while the network admins work in the data centres, I am a network admin and network engineer by qualification and know exactly how useless a programming team would be to me in server setup and maintenance.

Why not get the programming team to work on the AFK system, while the Network and server teams get to work on the servers themselves?

It isn't a waste of resources to delegate jobs to their required teams, it's good management practice. All of the work they are doing right now is network related. So what is the software or programming team doing?

the network stuff is actually already done the framework for the servers is uploaded everything they are currently working on is software related stability and internal testings of the game environment

a timed boot would be successful as long as it had some sort of "enter the code" captcha type event. But simple enough for controllers to do within the time frame.

10 minutes "idle" (Idle defined later) and the "Are you still there?" message pops up, prompting for a captcha-like event. Failure to enter it within time (or incorrectly) results in booting.


*Idle would have to be defined as no exp, no quest accepted/turned in, no location switching, etc and not just "standing doing nothing" as easy to do movement could be done constantly (even with controllers)

But still, not impossible.
