    Alyssea, that sucks. But, set a shorter timeout. That is what it is there for. Really shouldn't have a 120 min timeout for ANY reason.

    Wow, not using the mobile full site is so much better. Capitalization ftw. Anyway, I didn't have a 120 min timeout, two hours is how long it took me to wake up and see I was dead. I suppose making my timeout less than the time it takes my screensaver to come on will prevent this happening in the future, though.

    And yes, Svo always pauses when you're dead. Svo in my circumstances at least did not prevent me timing out.

    That must be a complicated alias. G mushroom from pack, attach mushroom to monolith, or goto <place that doesn't have monoliths>, sip mana, then ship return go, and adding in an if <fail message> then sip mana and ship return go in a loop until it actually works.

    A streaming quicksilver light pours down from the firmament, whipping Vayne away in a nebula of glittering stars and disappearing into the sky.

    ***bit of unimportant discussion***

    Your eyes sparkle with amusement.

    Ishim, the shadow tortoise says, "I do feel sorry for the Seneschal. She must not be doing horrible enough things to him if we haven't heard the screaming yet."

    Verily Ravensong, Lunar Gaze smiles impishly and says, "Hard to hear screams from the Moon."

    You smirk.

    "Heh heh heh," Tzond chuckles.

    You say in a soft, graceful voice, "Well... She did take him pretty far."

    Ishim, the shadow tortoise says, "I am sure She could make it happen."

    Ishim, the shadow tortoise chuckles long and heartily.

    You peer about yourself unscrupulously.

    You pet Ishim, the shadow tortoise ingratiatingly.

    With surprising speed and agility, Ishim clamps his massive jaws around your waist and gives you a jaw-rattling shake, whipping you back and forth like a rag doll before spitting you out on the ground with disgust.

    "Heh heh heh," Tzond chuckles.

    You have emoted: Kybrae brushes off her clothes and acts like nothing happened.

    Ishim, the shadow tortoise says, "You should know better than petting me my dear."

    You say to Ishim, the shadow tortoise in a soft, graceful voice, "You should be nicer to me..."

    Ishim, the shadow tortoise says, "Maybe one day."

    A streaming light bathes the area, illuminating Vayne in its wake.

    Ishim, the shadow tortoise says, "Ah there is the dear Seneschal. Still in one piece as sad as they may be."

    Tzond ponders the situation.

    Vayne peers at Ishim, the shadow tortoise unscrupulously.

    Seneschal Vayne des Valois, Shadow in the Falling Snow says to Ishim, the shadow tortoise in Hashani in a warm, confident voice, "Are you getting lippy with me? You do not even have lips."

    Verily gives Vayne a peck on the cheek.

    You attempt to stifle your amusement but cannot help laughing aloud.

    Vayne gives Verily a compassionate hug.

    Verily ponders Vayne with a contemplative expression.

    The glassy obsidian of Achaea's innermost ring gleams with a dark lustre in the swiftly advancing daylight.

    Verily Ravensong, Lunar Gaze says thoughtfully, "Look to be in one piece..."

    Kohilo has been slain by the might of a dark arachnoi man.

    You peer about yourself unscrupulously.

    Seneschal Vayne des Valois, Shadow in the Falling Snow says in Hashani in a warm, confident voice, "Tsk, the Strider kills Arachnoi."

    Ishim, the shadow tortoise says, "Who said I was getting lippy? I was just commenting that your still in one piece after such a long trip."

    <3 Ishim

    I hadn't really thought about that - I wouldn't say I agree that should be allowed/encouraged to become more of a norm, but I see why people would be motivated to remain online, whether they were "there" or not.

    Fixed.

    Sounds like people need to disable their gagged breath holding. I'd bet dollars to donuts that's the culprit with most people that fail to timeout when expected.

    Alternatively, don't afk. It used to be straight-up against the rules. QQ like a big boy or girl, or at least shipreturn or journal like a tween.

    ETA: Also @Alyssea, who I see has already disagreed with my post shaming people for being too lazy to not do something that used to be almost as frowned upon as plagiarism or auto-ratting, your mocking of @Dunn's SGO alias (which I fully intend to steal, I actually type out shipreturn go like an idiot) is unwarranted. Unless you completely don't know your own city, it should take no more than maybe 15-20 seconds to walk to somewhere without a monolith, which is plenty unless your cat is ACTUALLY on fire.

    I manually sip before doing it. I usually am at battlements anyways so no need for the mushrooming and such. Tldr let the cat burn a little so you can manual sip. It builds character.

    Well, that must be nice for you. Eleusis is fully mono'd minus one room that no one's ever in. I've even typed out "shipreturn go," copied it, then done my alias to sip mana and immediately pasted and hit enter, and still gone down by 2-4 mana by then. Thus the need for the thread I made to change having it need to be at absolutely max.

    For those saying AFKing used to be against the rules so you shouldn't do it now -

    The only reason AFK was against the rules was because you got credits (or lessons maybe, can't remember) for being logged in. They didn't want you just afking 24/7 and making huge amounts of credits.

  • NaminoNamino
    edited February 2013
    My point isn't that afking is good and holy.

    My point is that having to lose months of investment in the game for stepping away or forgetting you were logged in is a ridiculous cost.

    I don't see any really compelling argument for keeping soul drain of experience whatsoever.

    "You shouldn't have been afk in the first place" is a fine argument when justifying me losing 2% for the original death. It's silly to try to justify four levels. What if Alyssea had forgotten to log out before going to bed or something? She could have been back to level 40 before waking up.
  • IocunIocun
    The no-AFK rule existed far longer than that though.

    Why uh...didn't someone just rez you? People obviously knew you were in the city, and there's traits + abilities that help you find dead people. No one in Eleusis loves you. That's why. That would never happen in Mhaldor.
  • CahinCahin
    This happened because no one took the Death's Boon trait seriously.
    Protect yourself, people.

    This has been a public service announcement.

    Wow, Ayoxele just asks. Last time Mhaldor wanted me, Cain started flirting.

    I think the longest I ever afk'd for was when uprooting a lot of totems in a very short time period. It was 3am, a stinking hot night, and I went for a cold shower. I had returned before I was half way done with the totem and still felt bad for being so unresponsive all that time.

    I just hate how it's totally acceptable for people to be mindless and daydreamy, all the time. Sometimes emergencies happen. More often than not, people just alt-tab and do other things. I pretty much have the opinion that anyone not out doing something like hunting, raiding or harvesting is just afk, and as I hate to bother people, I usually leave a message or don't bother at all.

    If I'm on, it's safe to assume I'm doing crap.  I'm not even hunting or doing the arena due to being on a laptop that's near exploding right now and can barely handle mudlet!

    The disagree was for your editing of Shunsui's post. There are a lot more than a "very few." And yes, it doesn't take that long to walk out of Eleusis, but it is annoying. And having to sip 2-5 times so that I'm actually at max just adds to that annoyance.

    I hate the time change messages. So many of them have single words that make me go 'OH GOD BECKON' or 'OH GOD BROKENSTAR' when I see them in the corner of my screen.

    Svo definitely does not do anything while it's paused. You could have gotten a timer that sends a gmcp ping to keep you not timed out from someone possibly - that's something I use (personally), and it's invisible in the log.

    The game ideally kicks you out after half an hour of being dead these days.

    Could just make people auto-embrace after X minutes. I figured everyone had learned not to AFK after Yen got griefed by sleep deprivation.

    (I think the reason that they don't give experience back is the reason I tried not to accept most OOC excuses as HL -- suddenly everyone AFKing at the Spire entrance was 'dealing with an emergency'.)
    One time I logged off Achaea and went to work, When I return I found out there was a time lasp or whatever it's called and it got reset back 15 minutes or an hour whatever, Point is it relogged me into the game. When I returned home instead of being timed outed or such I found out that a monk had snuck into Shallam and Radienced me. and this priest (Annoying girly girly tri trans buncha arties 20 years old) Rezzed me. and then I died again. and then she rezzed me again. Eventually I finally timed out or she ran out of devotion or something l really don't know, But I lost like 4-7 levels -While im at work- -After I logged out properly-

  • KyrraKyrra Australia
    Should have killed the priest until you got your levels back :P

    Never had anything that terrible happen. That really sucks.
