Do we really have that much of an idle issue with our server? Unless they're idling in their own homes/rooms I don't see too many afk people around.
I do see a lot of bots going on.
We may, at this point, be hitting the genuine congestion point. An Auto-logoff feature would be nice, but I feel it's just a stopgap on the matter at this point. We'd squeeze an extra couple hundred players in before we hit the problem again.
Brainstorming on the matter came up with a few solutions, many of them would be far easier if SE would enable free transfers off of Balmung and Gilgamesh
Free Transfers off the Server would enable RPC to designate another RP server.
If they did that, and designate an 'official rp server' we'd be able to combine communities from Gilgamesh and Balmung - while we have a thriving community, I still don't believe we hold the majority of the populace of either server and would probably benefit to congregate.
They could allow the free transfers off and officially designate Blamung and Gilgamesh as RP servers - RPers would be able to keep their housings at that point. A LOT of FCs and players on the RP end are pretty well entrenched in their well-furnished homes. This would hopefully free up existing communities for more people.
Otherwise, we're waiting for SE to shore up their server-structure (again) to allow more people. Which, really doesn't help shove the problem of underpopulated servers on other data clusters. It's not that we have too many people overall. It's just that we're highly clustered together.
