New AFK Leveling Rules

[Tsukasa]

i agree with GM-Team this time, "each checking" takes 5 min

it really wasting gm & rc 's time

but i think GM should give times for people to read & know the rules are changed or any new rules

like, saying new rule will start on next week or so

not every1 check forum everyday or even once a week

Sorry, we have caught well over 30 AFKers in a matter of few days. I added that rule because waiting 5 minutes for each took a very long time.

I didn't feel the need to update the players on this because in the warning (which is indeed a mail), it would state that if you reply within 5 minutes of this mail, your punishment will be void. Further, we wouldn't D/C or do anything to the players until the specified time limit is up, then we would go back to the players who have not replied and disconnect them.

Again, I apologize for this.

Ok! Clear Enough.

I rather GM save more time from catching afkers, and spend the time on fixing bug

Ty for clarification. That's a system that players can live with. So to make sure I understand you correctly.

1. GM thinks player A is afk leveling
2. GM shows up. ask if player is AFK.
3. GM wait 15 seconds. A doesn't reply
4. GM sends mail and leaves to do other things
5. A has 5 minutes to reply to the mail.
6a. A replies. no punishment. GM does not return
6b. A does not reply. GM comes back after 5 minutes (not as ghost). Ask if AFK again.
7a. no reply = disconnect + ban
7b. reply to GM showing up after 5 min. no punishment.


I'm asking for clarifications because some players play multiple characters at once with 1 character as the main and another tabbed out. If they were afk for 2 minutes and in that 2 minutes the GM checks on them, they come back and reply to the mail on the main account but forget to reply on the tabbed out account, the tabbed out account would be banned. I hope GMs/RCs will come back after 5 minutes to do a last confirmation before banning/punishing.

Point taken. We'll do a final last warning check before the D/C.

This is the first game I've played that afk leeching is against the ingame rule.
I like to know what is the intention of this rule?

I see no reason to forbid this.

Going by that process of thought then making your own party (tanker mage priest) to level yourself isn't playing the game either. It's letting a macro do it.

I'll be pissed if my tank went afk 30 seconds to go to the toilet and a GM teleports him out, my whole party dies, and the tank comes back and needs to run all the way back to vd2 or something =.=

or be smart and tell your pt that your going pee, and when GM come they can tell him to wait few seconds

[Sorry i reply to old things]

is wat my party did and we had no problems all reply within 1min(it didnt take that long just saying) only reason he came was cause we were in a line to help lure to tank not low lvl healers and we were so busy doing shit that we didnt talk much cause ress was limited x.x it was fun to see him come tho

i personally log out if im afk more then 2mins only if im in a party, if im solo i just log, i wouldnt worry about vd cause idc lol id just log, honestly say u go take a pee u gain Maybe 1-3%... is 3% worth getting banned for?
