The event queue is only open for a minute so you shouldn't really get disconnected. Getting disconnected shouldn't be a problem for anyone who's afk, all you have to do is pretty the "Reconnect" button and you're back in.

Agreed. If this were to be implemented it should detect all activity such as pming, chatting or just going through menus to stop people who are actually playing the game getting disconnected.

Ive wanted auto-disconnect forever but it wont happen because graal cares too much about high playercount, even though they know the server cant handle it

If you're only playing the game for online time, you're not playing it properly.

graal city should be flooded like york town was, that will cut the playercount in half.

Note: The following suggestions would not matter if the auto d/c worked.

Banning is actually not a bad idea. People would just log off, before going somewhere else in case they don't come back quickly.

But honestly, there should not be a penalty just because devs have not been able to make the auto d/c function the way it should.

Right. That's the thing though, the auto d/c function really should work because it's been about 4 years since it hasn't been working. I mean, Graal isn't the biggest game out there but you would think that some time would be allocated to fixing bugs like this, right?
