Since bringing up a window or menu will actually pause the game if you are the only one in a non public game, I'm just curious if that has an effect one way or the other. I've not really tested I generally haven't AFK'd for more than about 5-10 minutes and that was usually in a multi game.
No, I usually just TP to town so I don't get surprised, and AFK there.
I have yet to get disconnected doing that. I've been disconnected a total of twice, other than server reboots.
Keep in mind I'm playing on the Mac client, so the IP stack may handle idling differently, haven't really looked at it.
I'm on XP and just TP to town and don't have any game windows open before I go AFK. I haven't timed how long I've been AFK though so maybe I'm not that long of a time away?
