Is it just me, or are you logged out a little too fast when idle?

You don't have to be away that long before you are automaticly logged out..

It's currently 15 minutes. I don't see the harm in bumping this up if people want.

Personally I've been annoyed by it when training or attacking, and just had to do something for a while, and had to login again..

Also, when I'm on my phone, it logs me out after having it in my pocket for just a minute.. Thinks that has something to do with my phone though, but it sucks XD

I wouldn't mind a little more time.

+1

+1? That's only 16 mins.. I'd say +45

+45 O,o

much too long

30 minutes seems more reasonable.

How long time do you people need to take a dump?

What does it matter whether its 30 or 60 mins?

15 minutes is fine.

to be honest Jans fair point. It's not like we need to queue to get online anymore :P

The slightly weird thing about 60 minutes is that bots that idle out would be "online" for that long. This will inflate the online count to some extent, though the illusion of more activity isn't necessarily a bad thing (if a bit deceptive). I'm fairly open to both 30 or 60 minutes. Anyone have thoughts on why 60 is too much?

Either is fine, I think 30 would plenty for anyone doing medial things in the middle of playing, so if you wanted to bump it to 60 that should be okay as well.

I think 30 minutes is plenty as well. Logging in only takes 30 seconds. If someone is worried about the amount of time in 1800 seconds something is wrong.

My only issue with timing out Trio is when I am logged on several bots and have to tend to my son (7 months old) then returning only having been gone 20 minutes or so and having to re-log on 4 - 5 bots.

I wasn't disagreeing with increasing it, just putting my vote in for 30 minutes.

In another 18 months or so your son can be clicking for you then everything will be great :)

The only thing is you get noobies like Leader who log in and "check whats happening" for 15 minutes lol, but i suppose it would make the games player activity look a little better on a more positive note. :)

just noticed Ender already pointed that out...my bad, great minds think alike and all that.

I think an hour would be a little too much for the online list. It would become really annoying to message someone to find out they hadn't actually been active for 50 minutes. Not sure how much reworking it would involve, but perhaps have login states persist for an hour, but only count people active in the last 10 minutes for the online list?

WOW, i agree with fishwick! :P

or maybe even a symbol appears next to the username on the online list after say 5 minutes of idling?

I like the idea of throwing an idle state into the mix.

Leaving people logged into for so long isn't going to have any effect on the server would it Ed?

Nope, no load implications.

Donezo! I went with 60 minutes:
