You lot tin can observe it on the update 5.58 patch notes, simply I figured this was worth a thread. Previously 14 didn't take a proper log-out timer - y'all've been able to AFK in cities and hubs as long as you lot want. It seems that due to the explosion the population has been receiving lately, SE had to take drastic measures in the meantime, while they've openly stated that they hadn't planned server upgrades until after Endwalker'southward launch.

Queue me into Raubahn Extreme if old.

Does this mean people can't idle in Limsa all solar day anymore?

Does this mean people can't idle in Limsa all 24-hour interval anymore?

Yes. They commonly implement this during new expansions since in that location is usually such a swell of players but with the recent surge of players looks like they've re-instated it.

• #eight

RIP that baldheaded guy who awlays afk in front end of Gridania Marketboard in Tonberry.

• #9

Really o.O? I swear it would log me out plenty.

I think there's been setting for automobile-logout after idling for X minutes but now information technology'southward compulsory.

• #10

Yeah information technology's foreign to hear information technology being introduced as it was a measure they used back in the 2.05-ii.2 era.

I remember existence and so angry leaving to choice up food, coming back 2 minutes late and having to await forever to log back on.

Adept times.

• #11

Honestly wish this was a matter that was permanently enabled. Even before the mass influx of new players, I nigh always have a login queue on Siren.

Log out when you're done playing, yous damn weirdos. You are literally the simply person in the world who cares near how cool you look AFKing between the aetheryte and market board in Limsa for 5 days.

• #12

Aye, it'south amazing that they had to re-enable it early due to the fasten in players lol

• #thirteen

Also, uh, anyone know why I'm getting this when I try to open it up to update?

RIP Tank Program on Ultros.

This in general, lol.

• #18

pftttttttt have a mate who ever claims the timer is e'er beingness unfair to him but at present I'm learning it hasn't been on nigh of the time lmao

• #19

If its like the by times they've turned this on, information technology can be bypassed. Just afk mid-crafting as the game won't kick you since you lot'll lose materials.

• #20

Actually crazy they are implementing the timer during the pre-expansion content drought! Like the amount of new players is truly insane.

RIP Tank Program on Ultros.

This in general, lol.

Lmao thats who I immediately thought of.

• #21

Limsa ERPers in shambles.

lmao

• #22

Previously Xiv didn't have a proper log-out timer

They've washed it at expansion launches before. They had machine kick enabled when Shadowbringers launched.

• #23

Rip that dude in the Lancer guild in Gridania.

• #24

This has always been the case in gratuitous login campaigns. I often get kicked too while browsing.

• #25

RIP naked dude in high heels and pope hat afk dancing in Uldah all twenty-four hours long.

• #26

i mean regardless of server information technology'south e'er the same dudes in limsa just...doing nothing with their chair icon on. this is fine

• #27

RIP Mint Dew on Jenova... You will not be missed. :)

• #28

Yeah. They usually implement this during new expansions since in that location is commonly such a not bad of players but with the contempo surge of players looks like they've re-instated information technology.

Was going to say the aforementioned affair, this is something they practise with the launch of every expansion when there'southward a sudden swell of new/returning players. This eases up on things a flake, and makes sure other people playing can arrive. Also expending with Endwalker, or perhaps even before if it ever gets that bad, for them to create the instanced zones.

• #30

If its similar the past times they've turned this on, information technology tin be bypassed. Just afk mid-crafting every bit the game won't kick y'all since you lot'll lose materials.

Among other things, yeah. I approximate a lot of actually afk people get booted quite a bit, but information technology as well kind of punishes regular players because some weirdos experience like they demand to become afk in the game for three-4 days straight.

• #31

They need to actively brand information technology ignore some of the extremely like shooting fish in a barrel means to featherbed it.

• #32

Among other things, yes. I guess a lot of actually afk people get booted quite a bit, but it besides kind of punishes regular players because some weirdos feel like they need to go afk in the game for 3-4 days straight.

I could never effigy out why people stay logged in for days just afking in the big cities.

• #33

This isn't new, they do information technology every expansion or when too many people start to join

• #34

I could never effigy out why people stay logged in for days only afking in the big cities.

because they get known as the AFK guy on their server. that'south it. bonus points if they accept a meme glamour or rare mount

• #35

This isn't new, they do information technology every expansion or when too many people start to join

What's new is doing information technology 4 months before an expansion.

• #36

Awwweee I'k going to miss the cute afk Lalafell gang just chilling next to the Aetheryte in Limsa Lominsa

• #37

RIP to the expressionless bunny in New Gridania on Zalera

• #38

RIP naked dude in loftier heels and pope hat afk dancing in Uldah all day long.

Wow are you on Coeurl or are those merely mutual on ever server lmao

• #xl

Actually o.O? I swear it would log me out enough.

Previously they would only enable AFK kick on a expansion launch period. I think this is the starting time time they're enabling it in a pocket-size patch since the servers accept been on their knees recently with so much people playing.

• #43

RIP Mint Dew on Jenova... You will non be missed. :)

Lol that's what I said to my FC likewise. Apparently there's ii different accounts.. I is Mint Dew and the other is Mint Dew' or something.

• #44

How am I going to trip the light fantastic all solar day now?

• #45

Previously XIV didn't accept a proper log-out timer

Pretty certain there was cause i've been kicked for being afc.

• #46

Pretty sure there was cause i've been kicked for being afc.

It'south on in the overworld during expansions, but non otherwise (My FC leader stays online all night cause ????), inside duties there's a 10-15min AFK timer that'll kick you out of the duty just won't log you lot out

• #47

Pretty sure there was cause i've been kicked for being afc.

There's one in the game's settings. It has two or three different times you can choose or you tin can disable it completely. This AFK timer tin't be turned off.

• #48

I experience like they haven't had to turn this on game-wide since Heavensward. I know Shadowbringers didn't take information technology and I don't recall Stormblood having it (it had its own issues with the starting time MSQ story instance instead...)

Pretty nuts. Endwalker is gonna be a login queue bloodbath.

• #49

DPS classes will never be able to queue once more

Cheerio Excalibur dancing cat girls and that one cat daughter with the wolf paws that just stands by the servant summoning bong all solar day overworking the shit out of her retainers.
