Cade Evans	Posted - 2003.06.19 11:58:00 - [1] Would be really neat if there was an option in the chat to put yourself afk so people know it. Maybe changing the colour of the name in the right window, or simply putting an afk inside a parenthesis. "Human females prefer movies depicting one person dying slowly. The male prefers movies showing many people dying quickly."

Maggot	Posted - 2003.06.19 12:53:00 - [3] You would need to be careful about how this was implemented. The flag should only be shown to those in corp chat as otherwise it will not be used by those who practice mining afk. It would just advertise you were a sitting duck.

Cade Evans	Posted - 2003.06.23 11:13:00 - [5] Yes, but I would rather see the option to set afk in each chat separately, so that you can go afk in corp, trade, and if you feel lucky and want to take a risk in local. "Human females prefer movies depicting one person dying slowly. The male prefers movies showing many people dying quickly."

drunkenmaster	Posted - 2003.06.27 14:27:00 - [13] no, I think it should be all channels. It'd be more fun like that. get some of those cursed afk miners. How DARE you make a sandwich. .

Aras	Posted - 2003.06.27 15:00:00 - [15] If this EVER implemented, PLEASE give us a choice as I will NOT be using this feature. If you talk to me and I don't answer, I'm either ignoring you or AFK. You decide which, don't matter to me either way. I'm a flower, watch me blossom... and kill

TFSpectre	Posted - 2007.01.20 11:57:00 - [17] Edited by: TFSpectre on 20/01/2007 11:56:18 As a former player of other MMOs (EQ ad WoW particularly, sorry if this isn't allowed, just tell me so I can remove it), both had the option to say you weren't there, regardless of whether you were or not. As this is PVP enabled constantly, I'd say they should implement the feature universally so it can be seen in any channel and if the person needs to go AFK, they should go to a safe place first, if they don't, they take the risk, their choice; it's the same as going AFK but not telling anyone and when you talk you have no response, similar to blocking people chatting to you in the aforementioned.
Pwest	Posted - 2007.03.13 03:04:00 - [18] to reopen and old topic I think there should be an AFK in the game.
Dario Kaelenter	Posted - 2007.03.13 05:09:00 - [19] Why not go one step better and have animated Avatar icons in the chat that can be set using / - 'slash' commands or right menu click options on the Avatar. /slap is an oldie and still a goodie tho we could update that to the new millenium with other options/actions and have visual feedback, and also maybe a text notification Eg. You could set /afk and your avatar piccie takes a snooze or something like that /lol would make your avatar piccie laugh etc And if you right click action on the avatar piccie for another player then their avatar can respond in an appropriate way. For those wanting to minimise CPU/performance overhead then this option could be turned on/off via a ESC menu tick box inthe graphics section. Kind of like a bridging step towards Walking in Stations really :)
Shigawahhhhh Caldari Metalworks	Posted - 2007.03.13 06:24:00 - [20] I have wanted a afk option. Just make it a /afk command. No one has to use it but if your sitting somewhere your comfortable saying your afk and you know your gonna be away for a bit quite handy. Saves logging off so people know your not there...If you wanted to go a little bit further you could even give it a small message so when people hit show info on you they could see it.
Carl Smite	Posted - 2007.03.24 10:57:00 - [21] Better, like Yahoo Messenger Status, and to be able to set different status messages in different chat-windows. A small text just under the name displaying your current status.
