Topic: longer disconnected time before it disconnects you

I have sattelite internet so it is frequently disconnecting for short amounts of time when too much cloud gets in front of it or whatever... and it seems like every time I'm disconnected for a short amount of time it kicks me off the game. It would be kinda okay if i didnt respawn in the middle of town every time, but i respawn, get out of town, almost get to wherever I'm going, and then it disconnects me and i get back on and start in town again.    I understand this is a problem with my internet rather than with the game. for a free game  it seems great to me, i haven't been connected long enough to find any other flaws though lol. so could you please have it wait a while longer before it disconnects?   thx much in advance, and kudos to whoever had the idea to come up with this game

Huh? I never get disconnected. One time I left for an hour or more and I was still in the same spot...

Re: longer disconnected time before it disconnects you

Charatix, you are saying that you "left" implying left the keyboard.  You did not disconnect your internet for one hour which would be the equivalent concept as what this post is about.

bboy, how long were you on intermittent service prior to it disconnecting?  30 seconds, 2 minutes, etc?

Also, how long do you experience intermittent service (It flickers for 10 minutes.... etc).

Do you realize that this is there to prevent your character from being abused?  If you are not there, any monster may walk up and kill your character.  A thief could pick your pockets clean?  A mage can destroy your rings or boots through spells.  A warrior could work on destroying your armor just for the fun of it.

Re: longer disconnected time before it disconnects you

As far as logging back on where you started, that's definitely a possibility for new client. However, it does mean we need to add an "I'm Stuck" option or somesuch, which would warp you back to your spawn point. People would abuse that, so it'd need a timer. It'd also make Town Portals somewhat less useful. Hmm. We'll see.
