AFK policy

Written by: Maya, the Great Mother
Date: Saturday, January 19th, 2008
Addressed to: Everyone


Our no-AFK policy was instated a long time ago, when you could gain
certain benefits by being online more often, and when there were
resource concerns about too many people being logged on at once. Those
benefits are long since gone, as are those concerns, but the policy
remained unchanged. We are removing the no-AFK policy now and will no
longer be policing it (not that we did much anyway).

This does NOT mean you can go AFK and leave your character auto-fishing
or ratting or whatnot. Auto-generating gold and experience is still
banned. We also still strongly advise against going AFK and leaving your
character vulnerable.

PK rules do not change depending on whether someone is AFK or not. AFK
is an OOC condition -- IC, you merely know that person is unresponsive
for whatever reason. It does not give you rights to attack them for no
other reason.
