Kicking "AFK" People

Ok so before I get started just know this idea could have already be influenced based on how long ive been gone (1 1/2 years).

So since I have returned I realized how many people have been on Era and I have noticed even more how laggy the server is. While I know how hard it is to migrate servers and all but the amount of lag has been so bad. I have an iPad 2 and i freeze every 8 seconds. But anyway, i thought to stop some lag caused on the server is to implement a new system that doesn't allow people to "AFK". So the people with ropes and trampolines have to talk or something every 10 minutes if they really want their hours. This will cause less people on the server making more room for people to play lag free.

Yush

No thanks

This is just to improve your gameplay, not others.

Self-centered much, pfft.

yea cause no one has lag on graal? Things havent changed with you, still a...

I haven't lagged when playing graal, it's just your device.

get a better device and stop trying to make gameplay better for yourself

Do u play on ipad 2? Itried graal on my friends ipad 2 it lags every 10-15 sec thats your device lag bro

Let's not all shoot his idea down, it has potential to it and could also help solve an issue that players will NOT shut up about. I've always wanted a better and more effective AFK manager, if the people at Astros and Start who haven't been moving for 10 minutes were kicked from the server we would all have less server lag and a more enjoyable playing experience. However, if you're just suggesting this due to the fact that your screen is freezing every 8 seconds than you're suggesting something that's not worth your time. Screen freeze is entirely dependent on your device and it's functionality, try upgrading to a better device or clearing storage on your current one as well as disabling certain effects on Era.

People think im self centered when i just tried to use it as a reference.

You don't use the word 'think' if you're already exposing it yourself.

Everyone had shot you down.

We actually have a point to AFK sometimes,it would be pretty annoying if you get kicked so frequently. x.x
If you're experiencing lag,or a freezing screen try getting closer to your router or even upgrading it.
You can't blame it on us for afking and causing you lag,we have our reasons to do so,we might be busy irl,so don't judge us.

Alright, let's be honest, anyone who plays on a last generation device deals with a profound amount of screen freezes. I'm assuming the 4 or 5 of you who shot down this thread so quickly play on either on an iPad Air 2, iPad mini3, an iPhone 6, or a next gen android device.
Some of you do have a point: it probably does have a lot to do with our outdated devices (shoutout to the technology industry that continues to change so very rapidly). However, I'm sure it also has to do with iEra's owners' inability to give it the server upgrade it clearly deserves, and more updates that include optimization for the app that will allow it to run more efficiently.

Not all of us can buy a new $200-$500 device to play era every time a new generation of devices come out.

No, we can blame it on you if you're afking for 15+ minutes. If you have something to do, turn off your device and go do whatever has caused you to afk for such a long time.

Afk is worthless...i would know. i vote to end it bc it only adds strain to the server and its a waste of an activity. You should only get hours for playing the game, not jumproping on the map for hours while you go and do other things.

Everyone hates lag, and there are a LOT of people complaining about it. Being selfish and doing things that only support you and your ideas are completely unnecessary. But you need to understand, Thousands of players log on each day and cause the server unbelievable strain. Kicking afk people would be useless, as there are still people logging on. There wouldn't be people who are afk, but there would be more server overloads of people, get it? And its the players who yell out #FREEGRALATS and people who spam the outside world chat and explosives and so much other annoying junk that causes the lag. The afk player itself is too small a factor. OH and you know at event? when people crowd around and the lag explodes off the charts? That's what i mean.

For the last time i didnt mean it in a selfish way. I simply implied it would help with server lag.

also whats more selfish? Staying on AFKing for some new achievement, or earning your hours by playing and putting less players on the server that AFK all day.

Im agreeing with you, I am, I think something need to be done, and that hours should be earned, and I know you didn't mean to be selfish, but the it's being overlooked how many other, more supportive solutions there are. What I am saying is that the solution you said was selfish, not just towards you, but others like you. And that's not a bad thing.

Yea its kinda selfish but the kids at spawn AFKing with their online gf or bf sitting or the kids at Astros just afking doing nothing are way more selfish too

It might Self-centered, but the server has been lagging a lot for me on pc

But what's the point of playing a game if you are going to be afk all the time?

exactly like how is that fun

Removing the ability of AFKing has to be of a certain purpose in doing so.

You can't just randomly chose to remove it just because they're 'holding up' the server.

I'm telling you guys, having a new staff team known as "AFK Patrol" really isn't that bad of an idea.

Hm, I see where we're headed with this idea.
I mean, it'd be nice to see the server improve.
Believe it or not, some players literally afk and thats all they do.

Isn't there place like day on Era? If you don't move for about 15 minutes you get tellaportted to a room...

Yes but instead of that there should just be a kick

Still not a good reason to kick them off the game for 'AFKing'. I mean, it's their money so what can we do?

You mean disconnect? I don't think that'll be a good idea but you do have a point, there way to many AFK people in Era
