Auto Disconnect for AFK players
I am pleased to announce that another development has come to the world of FT.
One that will benefit all.
An automatic disconnect if you go AFK for too long. This does NOT void Rule 13 - you can still be punished for being AFK and grinding with pets. [DaHobbit]
Normal activity, such as playing, chatting or anything of the sort, and you will not notice it.
But if you don't interact with the game for some time, you will be disconnected.
The feature is already active in the game, but the timing on it may yet change.
When this feature is fully ironed out, there may be no further need for rule 13.
Keep in mind, rule 7 will still apply.
Many thanks to compbatant for the work he has put in, on this, and other things yet to be unveiled.
Keep an eye on the forum - details will be posted when things are ready.

Re: Auto Disconnect for AFK players
Fantastic development. I wonder how many thousands of lvls have been gained afk whilst sometimes blocking active players? Hopefully it stops here.
I am interested in the detail though. How long is 'some time'? Anyway, I'm sure this will be revealed but great move in my opinion.

Best update ever. Well done Compbatant. I hope it kicks players after just 3 minutes of inactivity.
A big screw you to players that grind or seige afk.

Re: Auto Disconnect for AFK players
I'm all for this 1....tho I am gonna say the 5 min seems a little to low....id think 10 min would be better...quite a few times today I got disconnected while grinding (keep in mind I'm over 3k and melee) and tho I was still watching and had phone in hand I'd forget to tap the attack button and it'd disconnect me...really would only be a problem for higher lvl people I'd think...i can go a good 15 min nonstop grind before I need to regen....but overall big +1
Re: Auto Disconnect for AFK players
5 minutes or less is MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME. If you don't touch your screen in 5 minutes than something is wrong.
BOO!

I say 5 minutes is probably a good time.
Then I have 3 minutes to report an AFK-GRINDERS if he sleeping or if YOU breaking rule 7

Seeing a spider isn't a problem. It becomes a problem when it disappears.
