Permanently AFK Players - Page 2

Okay, how about this for an idea...

If you are inactive for a certain amount of time the AFK tag automatically appears and you stop logging data. And a command which tells you how long the player has been AFK for, or the amount of time they have been AFK is part of the player's name while they are AFK. The player's name also turns red while AFK.

Should you even be playing EQ at work?

Both will suffer if you do that. Pick one or the other not both.

Green server, high up on the sandy/rocky wall near the Neriak ZI. It's been there for months and months in the same spot.

Don't you just love it when a "raiding guild" enters a zone and spams /ooc with a blow by blow account of what they are doing?

I do because I love vandalism, that's why I hate it when the obnoxious vandals eventually leave the zone.

You see, if I don't get my daily dose of knowing when exactly poopsock_0 chealed poopsock_00 then my week is a total write-off.

What's fun is being at home and waiting for a camp which has been taken over by a player who's at work playing EQ semi-afk for the next 8 hours.

Then I have a small window of opportunity to get the camp before said AFK worker gets home and takes the camp again while watching Avengers 17.

The AFK Worker routine...

Code:

10 PRINT I'm going AFK to clear camp in EQ, don't fire me!!1
20 PRINT I'm going AFK to do some work IRL, don't take my camp!!1
30 GOTO 10

Get a better job. My boss gives me 2 hour long EQ breaks a day.

Can't you read?

I'm not talking about people playing EQ on their lunch break...

I'm talking about somebody playing EQ AFK while working VS somebody who isn't; both players are treated the same even though one is a cheat.

That's what the political drive for equality is all about, so that cheats have same rights as non-cheats...
