Bring It On

This is really good news for those of us who ”actively” play Warhammer.

We’re hoping to have the following system implemented as early as next week, provided it fully passes QA testing. Please note, this is not yet on live servers:

A new version of the “Idle Hands” buff has been implemented in Open RvR. Once a player has been flagged as “Away from Keyboard” (or AFK) an invisible debuff will be applied and any Play as Skaven buff will be removed.

This value will increase incrementally over the next 4 minutes, eventually reducing all Renown, experience and coin earned to zero and teleporting the player to their Realm’s Warcamp at the 5 minute mark.
