Anti AFK going overboard

Admin,

I noticed that if I don't use an ability or move for a short time, there is a counter on the bottom right corner. When it gets to 30k, I automatically get disconnected from the server. That's great for avoiding afk kills. However, if i am in a conversation just standing there, I still get disconnected. Any time the screen is touched for any reason, the timer should reset. Otherwise, I will get logged constantly because I have conversations.

Thank you.

It is definitely not my ping. It starts at 6000 and increases one pt at a time, very fast, until it reaches 30k, at which time i disco. It happens that way every single time.

Strange. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and now it works fine. Now it's the ping.

That number is your Ping.
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The name comes from active sonar terminology.
You can remain inactive for several hours without touching your screen and that won't disconnect you (unless you crash or lose connection)

There is no Anti AFK!, but I will quite often disconnect or crash when I'm not AFK! Its just a part of the game and the way that wireless and wifi connections get cranky at times.

I AFK a lot for many reasons .. Gold .. Skills .. leveling! I used to have a thing against it but now it is just a part of the game.

Oh and If you are having problems with your connection just plug in your Ethernet cable. :lol: JK JK

Hi there,

This is a bug where occasionally the game gets into a state where it thinks you are trying to disconnect, to fix this quit the game fully from the multitask menu and run it again (or you can turn the device on and off and run the game).

The bug is fixed in the forthcoming update, in the mean time sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks!

Shame really I think there should be a counter that drops you after not doing anything for 60 secs
