lol. I always hit forage when it comes up so I never thought about sitting
somewhere for more than a couple of minutes without hitting a button. It
would never happen anyhow, too many casters go away after blowing all their
mana while soloing and med for 15+ minutes while doing something else.

Subject: RE: [eqbards] Change to bard song mechanics on Test!
I agree with you Kit. It's bad.
Us bards have to press buttons every 5 secs to change songs and now we'll
have to continue to be chained to our desks during downtime.
Auto-logoff would be really bad, btw. Have you ever been in a room that has
a motion sensor light? If you sit at your desk and you're reading, you have
to wave your hand in the air every 15 min or end up in the dark.
Auto-logoff is the same thing. You may be sitting reading stuff on your
screen, not necessarily pushing any buttons for 10 mins, but get booted off
just because the server thinks you're inactive. You'd have to make sure you
push a button every 10 mins or be booted. After you're booted, you'd lose
all of your no-rent items as well as any illusions you had up. I don't
think Verant would even implement such a bad thing. Uhh, maybe not. Don't
post the auto-logoff thing on the web Kit. Please! :-)
