Rather than log them out, wouldn't it be better to simply attach an "afk" label above the player's head or at the end of their name tag?

I'm more on board with this. It's like WoW and doesn't log people out who are tabbing.
That could work too :)

Neat idea, however, I personally like to have the game open to keep company as I do every day things. I also love the idea DylanCheetah had with the AFK sign, I think that'd be helpful. Maybe even a status tag so you can choose between AFK, Tabbing, Role playing etc.

what azura said. have it be togglable. some of us like having fh running as white noise/checking the chat for points in a discussion we can jump in.. but not always active.
and i'd be pretty :\ if i kept getting kicked out 'cause of that.
they say the world is endin'

well maybe it's about time!

The AFK and status idea it's pretty good aswell. We could have the option of a custom status that floats above us and in our bio.

I agree, this could work!
