I read this this morning and my initial thoughts where "iffy" so rather than immediately replying I decided to sit on it because I didn't want to discourage or discount the afk invis thing.

I kinda like it.

As you can see I did eventually feel like I had to write back about it. Definitely not 100% in love.

Kinda more like 57.56% ok with it and about 3% curious. The rest of the percentage is very meh with some overlap. So like 52.341% meh.

Haha yeah that's about where I'm at.

I'd like to nail down something to accomplish something to this effect for sure. But it's basically my brain being like "bu wait! we gotta figure this out first!" Whenever i remember the boring reality of the fact have some knowledge and work ethic are kinda prerequisites for the whole idea. Literally had to Google"virtual environment" and "syntax" yesterday.. I'm gonna get my laptop all set up on my days off though!

maybe the afk thing only happens in dangerous areas? not like 'generally safe areas' like a city zone or shop or inn?

this would allow ppl to mill about in town square and kinda chill and chat while mostly afk working

u could also toggle it with a flag someone could personally set


*note these areas should never be 100% safe if you are AFK in a town area there should be a chance someone comes and pickpockets u or something either pvp or an npc or if u killed a powerful boss mob out in the world maybe their henchmen send a hit out on u [You must be logged in to view images.

Another idea I thought of was "invisible mode" which works maybe similar but anyway new command kills it and puts it on some arbitrary timer? My only goal is that I want to be able to walk away at any time and not try to have to try to worry about Oobnopterbevny Biddilets stopping to tip his hat while I'm helping my daughter wipe her butt.. I just wanna find a mechanic to allow adults to step away at a moment's notice if they need. All my friends who would play have kids. I thought about turn based combat but that seems like a recipe for zone disruption

I was thinking about a grudge system where named mobs will track who's "killed" them. Sorta like a temp gauge that "discourages" farming/spamming certain types of targets in the game for prolonged periods of time. that could be used to make some funny stuff like happen similar to those events lol.

an big issue is ppl afking at a named mob tho going invis then coming back right when it spawns or something

can solve that by making certian stationary mobs Not ooobnopterbevny see thru it !
