The new AFK rules have been set in place as of 26/05/2019 and this rule is hard to understand, so here in this thread I will try and better explain it so you can understand in a better way so you don't have to spam the mods for answers. To see the rules use this link: https://www.mineverse.com/threads/mineverse-official-rules-indepth.108261/ So the new AFK rule works in the way that you should not be AFK in spawn for a long period of time such as over 20m+ or it could be classed as AFK arming keys. Now you may not be doing this on purpose so there are some rules set in place such as Kick on first discovered time doing it and then it leads in a ban chain see the rules to see the list of punishments. Another edit, you cannot log on alts (alternate accounts, your other accounts you own) to farm keys doing this and them log them off this also comes under the rule AFK Farming because you are not actively playing on that account, only issue I see would be having a sibling that plays on the server with you but @Janice999 would need to clear this up. A common example used for this would be, "But I was eating my dinner and I had to go AFK" Now this might be true and accepted by mods as a reason but you have to understand that many people will try to lie using this or any other excuse(s). - Quote form @Quertiss - "You can afk but not too long. If you're going afk for a while, like for example you're having dinner, just log off or go to the lobby. Of course, if you're afk in spawn with alts for a short amount of time we would still have to assume you're there simply to get money and keys." My best advice is that if you are planning on AFK over a long period of time just disconnect from the server or ./lobby as you are allowed to AFK there. The rule has been put in place to stop people AFK farming keys and you have to understand that this strict method is the best solution to help fix this. If you have any further questions leave in the comments and I will try and best answer them.
I like the rule in the long run, prevents afk farming from clogging up the server. Problem is, its a end stage solution to a problem we don't really need to fix right now. I would understand say, two years ago suggesting or implementing this rule, but now? I wouldn't recommend it. Side note, perhaps we should be talking as a community about these rules before we announce them or implement them so we all understand them thoroughly and could debate them? Just a thought.
Noobcrew will never implement an afk timer because it'll make his server look even more dead. half the player base is afk on oppvp spawn
I kinda agree. I see a ton of players on the op spawn just chilling there afk. If a afk WAS put in then there would be 10 active players on op or so.
