Eh, Toontown has the afk-too-long-and-you-log-out thing. With this, I've never seen crowds of Toons sleeping on Nutty River, likely because they know of the log-out-after-how-many-minutes?

On a minor level, I'd say this is needed.

Or maybe, you could have the option like the sleep on a TV, and set the number of hours before you auto log out. 1-24 hours say.

Ya But Have U EVER wanted on Abassa Just TO Watch All The Crazy BBls? Maybe Start a Crew, Hard Invasion, yet it stays full then when u tp there there is like forty AFK lvl 4 pirates name Swashbuckler or Buccaneer or what ever? Ya So I Do The Kill GLitch & send 'em in Jail. Better there than just bugging bbl. PM & ill tell u about the glitch but i wont tell u the major part, u gota figure that all on ur own. lol but still after so many minutes U should be able to make the afk " NOOBS " crash, really half of abbassa are AFK noobs, a quater r ppl just they to get guilds started & another quarter r LVL 50's or 45's just chatting cuz they got nothing better to do.

THE AFK IS REDICULUS! IF THEY R AFK FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES ON ABASSA THEY SHOULD CRASH!!!!

Eh...
I've been false reported for going AFK one time (Long Story)
Anyway, 1-2 hours is a perfect amount of time for AFK...
Only downside is that we may have more people looking for glitches to keep there players on...
I understand, you are in the middle of something and need to go afk for a while... Understood, but, people take negative advantages to that...

I know some of you may not agree with this practice, but I like to leave my pirate on AFK while I am at work or sleeping. I put her on her fishing boat, in the warehouse on Kings, or somewhere on Tormenta so that the guild may use her as a TP totem while I am away from the keyboard.

It is a service I provide to my guild mates and I would hate for it to be taken away.

Another reason I like to have her online is to review guild chat to see if someone left the guild or if someone was guilded. I am the official roll keeper for our guild so it is so convenient to have these things announced in guild chat - a benefit I would lose if they were to boot me after x number of hours of AFK.

Just my 2 cents.

Kat
