30 minute idler

I'm sure you know about this... so it's just a reminder to fix the broke idler. It doesn't kick you offline after idling for 30 mins. People are just racking up hours from idling for hours, days, and even weeks. It is very misleading cause people have so many hours, and they are not actually playing.

They take up bandwidth because they want to sit there doing nothing just for some hours. Why should bandwidth be wasted for that?

It is a big deal when servers require a certain amount of server playing time in order to be certain staff.

You shouldn't be judged by hours. There's the really good people with hardly any amount of hours and the people who suck with thousands of hours.

"hai guyz, i gots 1000hrs so u can turst me with ur items, i just wnt to test dem"

Newer players generally look at people with a lot of hours as people who can be trusted because [they haven't been banned yet] they have seemingly been around awhile.

Ya, the whole hours to be staff thing is a bit dumb. I can understand... a little... that you wouldn't hire someone with 2 hours as GP. But how exactly does hours equate to trust or skill? Especially when this forces the person to most likely idle. Want a job as an ET? They should have you prove you actually know stuff by testing you. This stuff should be done by testing your knowledge, and letting you prove yourself via trial positions and such.
Hours should be taken out all-together. All it does it encourage people to idle, which lags others who actually want to play.

I believe disconnecting idle players is a server option (and the last time I checked ... about a week or two ago, it is working fine). One thing I have found is that if someone logs off while in observer mode, and they close graal, that person's account will remain online for a long period of time.

He means the option to turn off the "disconnectifnotmoved" in the server ops.

I think there should be a way to define how many minutes the player is idle before it kicks, like
disconnecttime=30
in server options.
