Ironbeard and AFK

Written by: Varian the Celestine

Addressed to: Everyone


I have had many messages from concerned players about others players
getting gift bags more then others. Two things of note. First, a player
will never get more then one bag per real life day, it has always been
like that. Second, as we get close to the anniversary Ironbeard will be
seen more and more. So everyone just relax.

There have also been complaints about people being AFK. As a result, I
am relaxing the rules on being AFK. Originally the rules were in place
because of limited resources on our game server. We now run on the best
machines out there so this is no longer an issue.

Of course, by being AFK you are at risk of players stealing or killing
you, starving, demon invasions, and some forms of cancer. Players are
not allowed to automate anything while AFK, such as bashing, harvesting,
or other activities while AFK. Please be sure to read HELP AFK and HELP
TRIGGERS.

In short, being AFK is stupid, but we are no longer going to be policing
it because all you are doing is risking yourself. If you want to risk
death and having everything you own stolen, I suppose that is
yourprerogative.
