Since there is an AFK Cap, if it is not currently in use, I propose that when a player has no activity (talking, moving), an AFK Cap appears on their head. It should not be in their inventory, it should just replace existing headwear, if any. Just an idea.

why not just add a command like the on in irc '/away' '/back' ?

would be much easier

Feel free to add it.

I always thought that a wooden sign in the style of the current wooden sign's would appear in front of the player instead of a hat.

+1 Black Don.

A sign would be better.


~but not automatically. A command '/afk' to put the sign up.

UGH I already brought this matter up a few months ago.

I believe this Idea to have been around a lot longer then that.

These 2 treads predate you by a couple of years

Dark Lord, what was your point of posting the spritesheet? I already know it exists, which is why I started this thread in the first place. I suppose you are not content to swearing in-game, so you resort to spamming on the forums. Uuuggghhh, shouldn't a 12 year old be at least a bit more mature than that?

IT IS NOT SPAM!!!!! Get your facts right.

i think a glowing aura would be better.

as well as having an auto timeout. i think the /away /back thing is good... could the client autorespond to whispers with an away message?

The conceptualization of options available is nice, but as it is now, we do not have a use for this right now. Perhaps when the actual content and technical abilities of CR1 get more defined or perhaps in CR2.

Would it be appropriate to have instead a glowing aura, afk sign or hat, to have a afk reply. For example X character says your name after you type command /afk and you auto reply, "I am AFK <X character>" and /afk again to go un afk. Appropriate?

Too risky, what if a group came up and said your name at once?
You wouldn't be happy to come back and see:

An afk cap is already being used on another server its just not an obtainable although u might see a few already wear those there..
