 Originally by: Mnengli Noiliffe
Too often do I notice that when the server spots no user activity for certain period, it silently drops connection so when you try something you get login screen. It might be a network bug but because it happens only after being afk for a while or keeping client minimized (while being active with the alt account), I see it as a strong evidence that this is intentional - CCP tries to keep server load less by getting rid of afk people, even if unofficially.
For this reason I dont' think devs want you to go afk while eve client is running, so to them putting afk indicator on will mean you should be disconnected from the server. This option is already implemented - just close your EVE client application.
although I do know what you are saying and I have experienced that as well, it isn't always the case.
In RMR patch, I logged my alt on to change some skills, i left her docked and passed out in my bed. 4 hours later, I come back and still docked, normally, any action I make, the game would "lose connection" not that time. So your arguement is false.
Dev's? 10 pages isn't enough. Now my buddies aren't showing up as GREEN when they are online, geez, must be harder than it truely is huh.....

Wow, 6 months later and people are still talking about such a "simple" feature? Obviously it would be best if the game could detect innactivity, but a simple flag that the user could flip seems like a bare minimum ... is this typical of eve development?

amazing, I didn't realize I created this thread back in June. Sad. I'll stop bumping it, and just throw in the towel. >:(

is a good idea, it should auto go to afk to if there has been no responce on keyboard/ mouse for 20mins etc, so u can catch the macro miners

CCP, while you're fixing the current online/offline indicator could you add this request to your list. Since you'll be working on that section of the code anyway might as well consider working this in.  |

Bah...
Read the players guide.
http://www.eve-online.com/guide/en/g16.asp
Very first tip...
****
ò Don't play the game in AFK mode. This game is not designed with this kind of playing style in mind and you should NEVER consider your ship and character safe while being away from your computer.
****
That said you're safe in station, but nowhere else. If you need to AFK for a bio-break or what ever do it & let the rest of your chat know. Don't need to add more overhead to the game for an unnecessary feature.

Who is AFK but who can really tell in the Forums...

I'm not sure how the "buddy" light works in ppl*places.
Everytime a buddy logs in, a short lag comes to play. Is it a client issue or a server-side response?
I'm assuming the "buddy" light is stored in our side. Either in our settings, if its stored on the server, I see a big problem there. Just like bookmarks, they are stored on the server and are unique to each character, only folders are stored on the client side.
Perhaps this is why CCP has had difficulty? or probably never planned on implementing this kind of feature, because for each person who claims "AFK" status, sends a msg to the server saying afk = 'on'
I think the Idea I'm trying to present is to keep some of this "flaggin" more client-side. Anyways, hopefully one day a Dev will notice this thread and respond with a much appreciated thought.
I've noticed the lag when the indicator pops up to tell me when one of my buddies logs on. Also noticed that the status light in ppl&places doesn't alway update to show the true status. Same with the private chat channel.
Still don't think an AFK indicator is needed, & it's way to open to exploit in lower sec areas (of course anyone who's AFK in low sec spaces deserves what they get)

I like it...
But I'd have to agree it should be a timer also, after a certain length of time the afk is auto initiated...
