When you are AFK...

[SrKlompenstein]

Hello there! SrKlompenstein here,

Today I am back with a new suggestion/idea: a /afk command. For example:

You are in Eggwars Lobby 1, but you have to eat... :(
When you are ''AFK'' in the Lobby, there comes a friend. He say: ''Hey SrKlompenstein! How are you doing?''
No reaction... 5 minutes later again...

Maybe it is usefull to add a /afk command. When you have to go AFK, you typ /afk in the chat and below your name (above your skin) reads: AFK

Maybe it is not necessary, but it seemed a nice addition to me.
Especially for people who are very active on the Forums is this very convenient. But also for Staff Members :p

Thank you so much for reading this thread and I am really curious about your opinions and/or additional ideas/additions ❤

Ehm usually when a friend messages you they are in a different lobby and are unable to see you.
Therefore I don't really see the point in this suggestion :x

You only get to see this in the lobby (below the players name) and not in chat of your friends :p
And you have to be in the same Lobby :)

Yes, it would help, I am often afk and when my friends talk to me don't know if Im doing something else

It should add an automatic response thing for it aswell, something along the lines of "Hey! i'm away, so I probably won't respond ;)", since /fmsg is a thing ;)

I like the suggestion but when you are in a different lobby, your friend can't that you are AFK

I kind of wish cubecraft had an afk kick. There's not really any point in letting people sit on be server taking up server resources if they aren't doing anything :P

 

[DrHam]

@Wolfii alredy explained an awesome method that will work when you type /afk
The suggestion is very nice +5

Just don't be AFK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No but I really like the idea especially because I'm more AFK than actually playing a game, so it would be very usefull :D

Maybe when you do /afk and a friend messages you there should be a message saying "iSaltySardine is afk he will be back soon" you can change that message in settings so it can say what you want

I did like to do /afk
and/or
/AwayFromKeyboard - /Away From Keyboard

Since I like typing in complete sentence :P

I agree.

 

[Qin Shihuangdi]

I support adding an AFK lobby because I go AFK to check the forums quite frequently :)

 

[Max ♠]

For this reason Mojang added a "disconnect" option when you press escape. Isnt that just great?!

 

[Caboozled_Pie]

Yeah, I agree with Nobody.

No pun intended.

 

[ITZyourBOYMO]

I like the idea

Well, in my opinion a 'AFK' Lobby would be better. Kind of like where if you're AFK for more than 5 minutes, you get sent to a lobby. As soon as you move, or are back, you are teleported back.

Just a stupid question... What the heck is the utility of an AFK lobby? You are AFK anyway, why couldn't you just get kicked if you are afk for more than 10 minutes? It would take less resources, and if you are afk you shouldn't care if you are kicked or in a afk lobby...
