Idlers

[JadeFalcon]

Sorry, i disagree:

- Idlers should not be disconnected. They make up for "who is online" numbers. A new player that sees 10 players online might immediately quit. A new player that sees 50 players online, even if 40 are idling, might stay longer.

- For the above i dont think we should "mark" idlers differently.

What my good friend said is a valid point, it does fool people into thinking the game is more busy that it actually is.
Ah those helpful idlers, working for the greater good!

If we just wanted to show better online then allow 2 allow limit. But yes jade has a good point

Or make some bots!
You can have the idle in taverns and stuff.

Idlers shouldn't get DCed. But maybe auto AFK after 30 minutes of no activity but maybe I'll make it a client setting so you can change the time or toggle it off, but default it to 30min. That's also up for debate though.

I try to be a good idler and turn on /afk, but I usually forget. Would def be nice if the game did it for me since I suck at it.

Don't knock idlers...in fact you should praise them. They are what makes MUDs work! In fact, I'd go opposite of your request.

May we please have an idle counter and a weekly tally to see who idles the most per week? Also a "for all time" tally of who has idled the most in this game on a single crit....ever. I am sure Backpack may try to steal this title but I think I actually hold this crown. FU Nic.

PS - Also an idle timer that we can set to logoff would be nice too.

Your friend in Christ
