Maybe extend the afk to 15mins and also have no afk zones?

If the server keeps list of AFK players in FIFO order, then there is no downside of risk server getting full.

 

Because when number of online players gets 90% then server could kick a player who has been AFK the longest. So the guy who has been AFK 12 hours would get kicked before the guy who has been afk 15 minutes.

This is a nice idea. +1

 

I readed about this a while ago with previous server. Lots of us didnt agree cause it was a smaller server, and no one wanted to wait to log cause any driver decided to leave his truck anywhere AFK for hours.

 

If now the server is huge enough to handle it, it could be nice to make a try. My doubt is about them being collission areas or not.

- YES: Then people could drive anywhere and it could cause chaos.

- NO: It could look more real but people using those areas to connect and reconnect could cause problems.

yeah defiantly rest stops and hotels, they are made for people stopping legally and being a safe distance from any traffic or being able to block anyone.  

 

theres a chance it would help to clear the roads up a bit to, usually people would just pull in  on the side of the road risking someone else crashing in to them, or parking so badly there trailer is still stuck out across the road, so by having the non afk kick zones it would encourage people to carry on a little bit further to a rest stop or hotel or wherever has these zones.

Love the idea and I totally agree with what you have said :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when a player logs on he is in ghost mode. however, after a few seconds the ghost mode expands and if the player isn't in somebody's hitbox it expands. so i think you do not need to worry about logging in/out.

Well, if you don't want to be kicked, just don't go AFK, hit a key, move the mouse often...

The problem is about players going AFK. Meaning they go away to do something else. So just don't do something else and you won't be kicked. :)

true,but isnt it fun to see trucks parked on parkings? doesnt it makes the whole ets server feel more realistic and alive? anyway now with 2.500 slots again its not possible untill ets server changed to the better servers and hopfully we will have 5.000 slots again.

I think this should be changed to be honest, i feel that at places such as service stations you should be able to get at least an hour, like if you need to nip to the toilet, have a smoke, get a drink etc etc.

 

I also feel that the section after the fuel pumps and the sleeping sections could possibly be made into a no collision zone, as some people may save there game while parked, to then fire the game back up only do destroy someone who has just parked in the spot they last saved it in.

 

I have at these one done to me before, parked up in the 1st bay to take a break, someone pulled up behind me so i began to move forward to allow him to park in the place i was in a bang someone spawned in the spot i was moving too, in which i ended up in the back of his trailer :(.

I'm really against this auto AFK kicks, because it somewhat ruins one of pretty things of the multiplayer and that is going to a parking lot and seeing other drivers parked there. In multiplayer you can not pause the game anywhere you want, you need to stop somewhere first, or you can stop at a parking lot just to chat with others, wait for someone. Seeing others stopped there seems a really nice sight for me.

I hope some people understand what I am talking about.

So about these non afk kick zones, would be nice like at least all the legit parking places to be made into such if it is possible.

+ 1 to add more designated areas to park which are non collision zones. Bit like a safe haven along the motorways for saving your game in between or taking a little break to get more coffee. Definately hotel grounds in all cities. possibly gas stations/rest areas as well at least untill more refuel points per station become available some day in the far far away future.
