AFK in char selection screen

[WolfPrince]

Various AFK mechanics:
You are marked AFK automatically after 5 minutes without any interaction.
You'll be logged off and sent to the character selection screen if you are AFK for 30 minutes.
You'll be disconnected from the server if you remain at the character selection screen for 30 minutes.

Hope you don't do custom fix and keep it like retail

Yeah, i started playing yesterday and tonight there are already more than 800 people in the queue. It has been almost 40 minute since the queue started, and i haven't logged in yet.
Do not get me wrong, I'm literally loving the experience of playing here on Lordareon (and I want to thank all the Warmane Staff that he has done, and continues to do, a really great job <3) .
However there is no doubt that we must solve, in some way, the issue of the queue.

And do you think that private servers should be a copy of retail? Use your ****ing brains

Are you dense? They are trying to make this server retail as possible, minus progression changes to keep it slow.

They dont. Its already farm from being blizzlike.

Until cap increase may I suggest that 1-5 staff are given some kind of custom 'kick hammer'?
This way they can move amongst us in game looking for people who are a f k, sit beside them for a time, and then eventually show them this new kick hammer in all its glory. Implementing this will create a sort of hierarchy in which the people will live in fear of a kick and be forced to play until their fingertips bleed. thank you.

Unfortunately, 800 is a small queue. In the worst case it can be over 2000, which takes over 4 hours to log in.

The current situation would be better if retail AFK mechanics had been preserved, although I think the AFK kick should be even more aggressive than that.

I think it should give you 3-5 minutes in game until char select screen and then 15 minutes until kick (because times will vary so you won't wait an exact 15 minutes for 2k slots, you will see ques dropping way more faster) but , it can go up to 10 minutes as well because if I come back, was kicked but I gotta wait a 500 fast 10-20min que , I would take that any time !!!, all in the sence that I have leveled 4 levels in 4 days because I get to play 1 hour a day or in some bad que days ... 10 minutes... working person here so there's that.

[lenthas]

The queue is only caused by fear of queue, everyone is looking at their own, they don't consider others. Its a human trait, far more noticeable in a game.. online.. with no interaction face-to-face.

If people didn't fear the queue, they wouldn't hog it and afk, if EVERYONE did that, and leave when they wanted instead of taking up a slot, then everyone would enjoy it.

Problem is: Fear of queue: How can you guarantee that 12k-15k people you don't even know will do the same? you can't, so we just have to deal with it.

Yeah, this should definitely be fixed. I logged out earlier to go run some errands. Was gone for four hours. Come back home and low and behold I'm still logged in the Character Selection screen. Four hours is a little ridiculous if you ask me.

This issue has already been forwarded to the devs I assure you.

[Orlaz]

So is there any news?

[wiesio]

See, server dc'ed at peak times and like now there is no queue at all. Is it enough for devs to actually admit that there is problem with afkers on char screen ? and its not "just 100" ppl

Retail as possible =/= Everything like retail

[BRETTDESZORNS]

with fixing queue skip
this is a serious issue for raiding guilds.
