Any way to avoid timing out?

So I would like to be able to leave a character holding a torch overnight in Atlas Park 33. Problem is the AFK "timeout" issue.

Is there any way, via console command or whatever, to allow my character to remain "permanently" logged in without having to click that darn button every 10 minutes (or however long it is)?

Sure, if you have a freespec just type in /respec and you won't get logged out.

Start a Task Force type. AE/TF/Oruo.

Go to AE and initiate(but not enter) a mission there, and then return to City Hall. It works just like a TF, making it so that you will not AFK and log out. That's the method that most everyone else uses, allowing you to still converse and watch for the GMs that show up every so often.

Hmm. If you don't have a freespec to burn, would going into the enhancements screen work just as well? Assuming it's the fullscreen-UI mode that keeps you from idling out.

During the original rally, I started an Ouro mission, went to AP, then went out to dinner. Didn't time out.

As mentioned, the best ways is to start an AE mission, or, if you are high enough level, a task/strike force (the SSA make for convenient 1-man task forces).

Just remember it is not necessarily the game that will boot you out. *Evil eyes Windows Update*

And actually, /respec didn't work. Button kept popping up over the respec window.

Okay, I'll try this. Looks like this is what OmniNogard was suggesting as well, though I thought he was instructing me to type something.
