I just got kicked from a BF2 server for beeing afk too long. I know most of all other MMOs have an autokick function. I find it very irritating why EVE doesn't. I know a lot of guys who just keep permanently running their eve client while sitting on station or cloaked, macro mine or whatever. So, my question is:
Why is there no auto-disconnect feature in EVE which disconnects users after a certain amount of idle time?

There is, it's called "Socket Closed" It only works for a lucky few and it really makes the game more exciting because it can strike at any moment!

I could be talking out of my arse, but I think a LOOOONG time ago (2005) there was some official talk of implementing this, a 1.5hr timer.

I take it you are seriously worried about our climate changes and therefore supporting hundreds of US players, their alts and their dogs beeing logged in sitting in a station and wasting energy and resources BIG time? 
@ SPin when u know you get autokicked after 30 mins inactivity, you get safe before that. people tend to manage that every day, it's called downtime

I need to see the linkage and details showing the change in energy consumption when I'm logged in and when I'm logged out, please.
To that end, perhaps YOU should set the features in your computer to shutdown completely when inactivity hits 30 min.

My idle desktop is 153 watts, running eve client while idleing in station is 383 watts. If you don't believe me ...
... all you need is a device that looks like this

It costs less than 20 bucks, and you just plug it in between your PC and your power socket. see 4 yourself ...

If they implemented that then everyone would just run a macro to move the mouse around while they were afk to get around the afk disconnect.

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 21/07/2009 15:20:43 Auto-disconnect is a seriously bad idea for a feature. I remember back in RMR when it seemed like I'd always be disconnected after a certain amount of time AFK. Very, very lame.
edit: also MMOs are not in any way comparable to BF2 where OP got kicked from for being AFK. BF2 matches pit at most 32 players against another 32. Even having one guy AFK hurts the team. In Eve you have up to 50,000+ people on at a time, all doing their own thing.

Why would you leave your computer on burning 153watts if you're not using it?? Why do you hate nature so much??
When I'm not using my computer I turn it off and unplug it from the wall. Because I care about the Nature!
You sir, are an enemy of nature and destroyer of worlds. I pity the birds and trees you have caused the deaths of.

I was under the impression we had an auto-kick system.
It activates when you jump with your fleet into an engagement, or when in the oposing factions territory so that the NPC Navy come to the log-off point and destroy you before you can log back in.
..... oh that's not what you meant.

YOU are the one requesting a change. I checked...there is no explanation in the thread for why we DO need it.

I'm confused, ever since I've resubbed I get hit with the auto disconnect "feature" all the time in heavily populated mission hubs, and then I also get to experience the "you are number 50 in the queue" upon trying to log back in to finish a mission.

because sitting afk or cloaked makes people like you insane, some good way to terrorize bears who cant move anymore in insecure space :-DDD

Originally by: Robert Caldera Seriously, why do you care about afk people???
Simply because they anoy :)
the afk cloaker who might be in a pilgrim and prevents me from rattin the afk station sitter who keeps me camping the station forever the afk ratter who gets me traveling to his system for gankage the afk ally mates which indicate a crowded system with to few belts for you all ;) the afk perma login alts indicating a HUGE corp with lots of active members all the time
The bottom line is simple: They have no pain, just gain. Seriously, there is no need they can do this all day long. 30 - 60 mins is still anoying for all of the above, right?
And on top, i really think it's a uneccessary waste of resources.

so many choices too. you have got macros, an old mouse pad that makes your optical mouse jump around, putting whiskas on the keyboard so your cat visits every once in awhile, or, dadumdumduuum a program specifically designed to keep the keyboard active or even a simple VB script that writes to the keyboard buffer.
if there was an idle timer in Eve, I would immediately setup some method to circumvent it

And why would you do such a thing? You are afk, you can totally log out.
Anyways, you know whats actually pointless? Posting here and expecting something constructive.
Confirming no autokick is needed. can be closed

Originally by: Vanessa Vasquez My idle desktop is 153 watts, running eve client while idleing in station is 383 watts.
Let's say 300 W per idle player, times 20k idle players tops, that's 6 MW worldwide. Meh, peanuts.
Originally by: Vanessa Vasquez Why is there no auto-disconnect feature in EVE which disconnects users after a certain amount of idle time?
THERE IS ONE. It's called "daily downtime". Oh, so you don't like the fact it's only after max 23 hours of idleness ? Well, boo-hoo.
In EVE, idle//AFK pilots barely use any server resources - it's the ACTIVE ones that are CPU hogs.

WoW will do it in two tiers. After 30 minutes of being AFK, the game will log you out back to character selection screen. 30 more minutes after that, and the game will log you out entirely and you will be back at the log in screen.
But then again, WoW is not so much of a game as it is a cancer.

Lord Of The Rings Online also does this. it used to be possible to not get afk logged out by activating the autorun, as you cant log out while moving, but they changed it so that afk auto log ignores movement. its like the isk farmers and spam bots, they just adapt to everything we try to get rid of them, and afkers will just adapt when they need to as well ______________________________________________ CEO of 352 Industries.

Originally by: Roa Gul Age of Conan does it as well. TBh, the op is right. I don't see any reason why people have to stay logged in all the time. You go afk, get disconnected after 30/60 minutes, you come back, log back in. simple as that.

Let me guess... you DON'T remain attackable for minutes after you get auto-logged-out in those games, and you don't lose anything of significance when you die there, do you ?

Mother Nature's death, burning forests and Macro Miners aside...
It's tactics. This is a game of constant war and competition. Spying and disinformation are the one of the cheapest and effective of tactics. Been around way before MMOs, read Sun Tzu- The Art of War.
Seems to work too, if you have spent more than five minutes camped outside a station waiting for your rival to undock- and he is AFK- or running an alt somewhere else- you have been manipulated into wasting your time and resources while your opponent is watchin Gilligan's Island or running Level 4 missions- costing him nothing. Tada!
Also you fail to see the bright side of your little dilema- You could be AFK mining Veldspar and playing BF 2 at the same time.
Final comment, as opposed to fake edit, Why don't you post this crap in the Features Forum?

I take it you are seriously worried about our climate changes and therefore supporting hundreds of US players, their alts and their dogs beeing logged in sitting in a station and wasting energy and resources BIG time? 
how would autokicking making it use less power? if youre idle, you dont get much packets of data and action, and if youre kicked your PC is still running.
if that cloaker is afk, why are you worried? :)

CCP OBVIOUSLY doesn't care about global warming or they would implement an auto disconnect...make that auto computer shutdown.
They do care, they even made one patch delete boot.ini. |
