Character inactive?

Post by itsmemario » Tue Nov 30, 2004 6:20 pm

I sometimes set my bard to run around in circles playing a couple agro songs, and just let my druid or whoever i'm trying to level kill the mob, after a certain time of the bard running around he gets booted to the server select screen and it says he's been inactive for too long, even though he's running around and twisting. I don't use him as an afk bot, but this is really frustrating. Anyone have any ideas?

anywhere from 1 to 4 hours, no longer than that. Im just confused why it would do that, since he is constantly running and twisting, and would seem active

bazaar trader did same thing yesterday. I always figured that was a message that comes up after you ld to server select because the server select will kick you to log in if you take too long to pick a server.

I have seen this happen from time to time. I think it an anomaly.

Do what dkaa said. I've ran AFK bots for 4+ days straight.

But they talk in group and/or private channels, while I'm afk

I also know sometiems if you get booted to server select, when that times out, you get an inactive warning. Could that have been it? I've never seen an inactive warning from the game....but i don't AFK too much
