A ban is a little extreme, maybe the old jail room or a restriction to your guild house so you can still pm people and such.

But they will still be online, and yet contributing to the lag

It's always nice to have an hours stat. There's no real need to get rid of it because it doesn't hinder the gameplay, anyway. Also, with an actual working disconnection system, AFKing will be rendered basically impossible, so there's no need to make AFKing against the rules.

true lol  

*system implemented*
*player count decrease drastically*

I don't think the player count would decrease. I think the average number of players online at any given time will be significantly lower, though. However, there are so many people on Graal that are AFK and just taking up space on the server. When you think of it, it's kind of selfish to AFK because you're contributing to making the server lag and you're hurting other people's fun.

I think that a ban is too much, after players see there's no point in afk there for over 15 minutes they will give up. codeshops could be kept, since I know a lot of people probably spent money on buying all that furniture. Just keep it in your status or something while you play, instead of just standing there for god knows how long (kind of a waste of playing graal too )

IF THE AFKERS CONTINUES, BAN SHALL BE THE PRICEE

I prefer 5 minutes, since the player count is a bit high.

The problem with that is just how some people might afk to grab a snack, and it would annoy some people if they are in an event or a queue and got disconnected

Sure, if someone finds a way around the disconnection system, they should be banned. However, the current way of AFKing is simply standing in spot for hours on end and never been disconnection. A disconnection system that would stop people from doing this would work well. I can think of some work arounds for even a system like this but no system will be perfect, and my way around it is kind of annoying to do. There are always ways to fix the work arounds, also. The main thing is, if you're exploiting something to stop yourself from being disconnected, then that should result in a ban.

If this does happen I hope everyone is notified, especially clearly for new players before they do it

Also I hope that if your standing in the same spot for 15 minutes but pming people it doesn't assume there's no activity... I'm not very sure of what the current system does but a lot of players won't be moving around a lot, but instead just talking to friends

Yeah, that's not very hard to do. Your PMs are logged either way and I'm sure there's a time stamp. Basically, you have a timer that start when you stop moving. Once this timer reaches 15 minutes or whatever, you get disconnected. If you begin moving again, the timer resets to zero. We could have sending messages reset this timer, also.

Slim chance with events hosted once per every eclipse.  

Banning for not moving, sounds pretty stupid, how bout we stick to just being disconnected.
