Greetings,

Here, my next suggestion is made for a new idea for those who are away from their keyboard known as "Away From Keyboard" / "AFK".

I've noticed that even when you are away from the keyboard and have your chat icon raised people still tend to try and talk to yoru character.

So my suggestion is to make a command like "/emafk" to show that your away from your keyboard with like a little "AFK" icon above your head or when your character is targeted by another;

Example;

Hopfully this will be a useful suggestion and command.

Many Thanks,
Nika Reen.

I have mixed feelings for this suggestion, I like if you are idle from your computer for awhile for reasons without having to say anything due to an emergency. On the other hand if you are going idle and you are aware and it will be for awhile.. go spec. It also takes away from some of the realism.

I would imagine if you have the time to set up your AFK icon you have the time to do what the rules suggest.

And plus there is that.
