AFK players are the scourge of ArcheAge, or at least they were up until this week’s update. Today’s scheduled downtime brought with it the removal of ArcheAge’s AFK timer. Now players can log in and sit still to their heart’s content.
We decided to perform this week’s scheduled downtime earlier rather than later to deliver improvements like the removal of the in-game AFK kick time and a couple adjustments to further discourage in-game spam.
An AFK timer isn’t at all uncommon for MMOs, although ArcheAge saw some controversy at launch with Trion Worlds providing contradicting statements about their policy on circumventing the mechanic.
