AFK?

[snes 0]

Lot of players seem to have AFK showing by their name, even though they are obviously not afk! Is there a bug in the game since the maintenance shutdown?

It has been a bug since yesterday. Both DND and AFK wont clear until you relog.

[Nelythia 44]

Its not a bug from what I've heard from GM's.

 

"AFK and DND are now working like in 2006" is in their patchnotes too, so..

That's what I thought, so ignored it initially.

But then I logged out for a break, logged back in, and it was still there.

Puzzled.

Nelythia, are you saying that   AFK should show, as that is what was in the original game?

It does simply mean "absent from keyboard" - I haven't missed something here?

[Nelythia 44]

Unfortunately I dont remember anymore how it was 2006.

 

But I guess when they say its intended, it should work like it does now.

Are they breaking the game so it has the bugs like it did in 2006? 
i'm so confused

Me too, in fact, because nobody else has raised the issue, I thought it might be just me seeing the AFK.

Ignore what this Nelythia is writing.

Of course there is a bug.  The AFK flag does not autoclear itself, nor can you manually clear it.

Obviously NOT working as intended.

Needing to log out of the game, to reset your AFK status, was not how it was back in retail Vanilla.  Or in close beta.  Or in open beta.  Or in any other Vanilla version.

It's a bug.

So, should I report the bug? If so, how should I do that?

They need to look into this, for sure.

The bug tracker would be the place to report it - but I think someone may already have.

Better to be safe, than uncertain though - eh?
