Sometimes the real world calls unexpectedly. How long can you remain idle in New World before the AFK timer kicks you out of the server?<\/b>
\nWith online games such as New World, there\u2019s always a reason to remain active. That\u2019s not to say that you have to keep moving, but Amazon Games\u2019 new MMO includes an AFK timer intended to kick idle users from the session. You can only remain inactive for so long before you get the boot, so how much time do you have before you get kicked? The AFK timer in New World is set for 20 minutes. If you idle for any longer than that, you\u2019re likely to be kicked from the session. All you need to do to avoid the AFK timer is move your mouse around or press a key on your keyboard. This amount of time shouldn\u2019t be too big a problem for most players. After all,20 minutes is fairly generous when it comes to stepping away from the keyboard. There\u2019s no harm in quick breaks to stretch your legs, rest your eyes, or grab a snack. Still, it\u2019s not a huge amount of time. If you wind up having to leave the game for an unexpected phone call, for instance, you may wind up getting disconnected. It\u2019s worth mentioning that this timer does not include the wait time to join servers. Especially in the days and weeks following launch, server queues may leave players waiting to login. Others have already encountered outright failed connections. Don\u2019t worry, though; you won\u2019t be kicked while trying to join. The AFK timer only applies once you\u2019ve already joined the server. Still, it\u2019s best not to take this function as an invitation to remain idle. The AFK timer in New World is designed to kick inactive users after 20 minutes. Otherwise, players who go idle may cause delays for other users trying to connect. If you know you\u2019ll need to be gone for a while, logging out manually is a smart move.<\/p>\n
