Can it be fixed so if a person is just idle they are disconnected from the server. I've seen many just sitting in taverns and yes banks etc.
What is the point idling for an hour and not being there to play? 《Sarcasm》
Late at night there is only like 3 or so actually active people with like 10 idling?
Idlers
Re: Idlers
I idle all the time and often come back to pages, gchat or alerts I missed. It doesn't seem a bad thing to me, shrug.

Re: Idlers
Ok can the /who be changed so it is color for activity.
Red text people, person has not moved in 30 min and should be presumed dead. This person will not respond so dont hold your breath. They must idle to make numbers of their guild look big and elite so they are the uber
Yellow text people, person has moved within 15 min at least 1 square, they took a quick break but possibly comming back and worth sending a message.
Green text people, you are either running, fighting, texting, etc and up to 15 min break so person can go get something to eat, drink etc and come back killing stuff.
I personally don't think it's good to idle and waste the bandwidth that's being paid for by others if it's not being used. 《 Waste not want not 》
Edit, can it be done for guild on /g so peeps know your not at keyboard
Noticed times people asking if there were people and others had to answer.
And Imo if help is given it needs to be to increase the population of player base. Then we can do other things and have bigger gains. If population don't grow then game will die out.

I do like this idea. Similar to how staff show up yellow. Just assign colors to people who havent moved for a period of time.

That's not a bad idea I could see that being a thing. I'm sure Dustin would let us know if idle bandwidth was a real issue. He knows there are people who will help pay.

Re: Idlers
It's terrible I tell you. We used 15GB of bandwidth last month. I currently pay for 20TB so I think we are fine for a while 

Re: Idlers
Can we still have color change to know who is active
