booted to character screen while overnight afk

[BiG SiP]

just curious if getting booted to character screen while you're overnight afk is a server timer related thing or a staff issued command thing

anyone know?

pls advise, ty!

Did you have a pet up near a kos mob?

[BiG SiP]

i was flopped with a pet out at CoS camp

[Figgus]

Too many minoxidil and other drugs cause you to pass out?

[BiG SiP]

no retard
i went to bed at a reasonable hour, flopped and afk
just seems odd i was booted to char screen overnight

[Zipity]

Probably bc pet out, maybe a spell hit him or something and he was fighting or people could root mob on your pet for extra dps etc. Someone probably petitioned and had you booted.

[BiG SiP]

i petitioned to find out
thx bud

[Dookky]

See anything interesting in your log?

[BiG SiP]

im not upset about it just curious
i leave my eq dedicated laptop online 24/7 hurr durr

It happened to me many times on EC mules. I sometimes log the mule in before going to bed when I'm looking to buy an item, so I can check the log the next day for the items I want and maybe find the sellers online later on and whatnot. Or at least get an idea of going prices.

Usually the character would be still logged in when I wake up.
Sometimes dead in WFP - people invariably train shit to the tunnel. Sometimes it was back at the login screen - I suppose an internet hiccup causes this.

But sometimes it would be back at the character select, and I never knew why. Would be interested in knowing why this would happen.

I leave my game running while AFK a lot and have sometimes occasionally experienced this too. I've gone days AFK at the same spot without being booted, so I don't think there's a fixed timeout or anything like that. I just sometimes randomly find myself at the character select screen (or even login page sometimes). I've checked logs to confirm it's not something like zone/server reboot, so I haven't figured out a pattern yet. Connection blip maybe?

I too can attest that ive left my mule logged in overnight, and found that i was booted to character select in the morning.

There is no trackable pattern, perhaps there may be in a larger sample but not in my experience.

They never were and nobody is out to get you on the forums.
I enjoy your streams when I was able to catch them. :)

[BiG SiP]

uh huh

[Trexller]

I actually am out to get you. So you know, be wary.

[Nuggie]

Every game / server has automatic kickoffs with no activity for XX time

see you on the next list cycle

LOL

Not this game/server.

[mcoy]

Never been kicked off for being AFK overnight / for extended periods. I don't do it often though. Fell asleep in a group once and woke up at druid rings because they got someone to port me out. Solid group.

Same thing happened to me, I fixed this issue by turning off sleep timer on computer.

[BiG SiP]

full screen eq doesn’t trigger the screensaver

[Graahle]

This is probably why you found yourself logged out:

Imagine not having the patience to take 30 seconds and camp out, much less plugging. He deserved that.

[BiG SiP]
