I'm not the sort of person who thinks about logging off when finished playing, unless I'm switching accounts or emptying cache/cookies. I was used to finding myself automatically in need of a fresh login after a certain amount of time away from the game though. Last night that didn't happen and I awoke to my homepage.
If this is a permanent new feature it defeats the purpose of showing the currently active players, as I was certainly not "active" for those hours but had fallen asleep. This poses a definite problem to those sending a pm expecting a quick reply from am "active" player, then actively sleeping! Lol
Thank you.
