From what I hear from guild mates, there is a limit... 24hrs..lol Two of our guys ran into it, and they logged right back on... Really, how many people play 24hrs straight, and how often do they do it? I don't see a big deal. |

As the MMO world always states... Screen shot or it never happened. If your only defense for trolling or hatred is a stupid tag line, Then you should quit life. |

It's 24 hours and you can get right back on.
Remember the korean guy that died because he didn't stop playing WoW???? (I think it was)
That's why... I don't know how exactly this thing picked vampire for me... I didn't pick any obviously vampire answers....  http://comedians.jokes.com/katt-williams/videos/katt-williams---haters |

24 hours. FORTY-FOUR. I can't see how someone can complain about being logged out after A WHOLE DAY logged in, especially when they can just relog to reset the timer., and the game warns you 30 minutes before, and constantly warns you as it gets closer to The Time. |

I also confirm that after 7 hours straight, the game does not disconnect you, contrary to what the OP wants us to believe. Even 7hrs was an overkill for me, I wouldn't even think about playing 24hrs. Perhaps the OP is confused by the message stating that "You've played for X amount of hours. Please take a break." It's just a message, it doesn't disconnect you. |

I've gotten this before as well, the "30 minutes until disconnection" notice. I'm on a server that doesn't get any queues so I don't feel bad about this, but anytime I'm not playing, I'll setup my private shop. Then later, I'll play some different characters. Even logging into a different character doesn't reset the 24 hour timer. You have to log out completely. // |

I can verify this, it kicks you after 24 hours playing, I did so and got kicked out but logged in back. Cases are minor and it is there to help with queues, plus, its only a little kick, you log back in skipping the queues anyways. |

Alright, this is apparently what happened... My wife is somehow able to stay logged in or was the other night without being kicked. I'm guessing she was logged in for over 24 hours. The fact remains, she came back, started playing and a server message came up saying, you will be disconnected in 30 minutes, please take a break. This message showed up despite the fact she was playing at the time. So yes, it was an extremely long period of time... Oh, don't ask me how she didn't get booted, cause all I know is she was on auto follow behind me, got stuck on a mailbox and stayed there for over a day, lol. |

After 24 hours they log you off and if your not AFK you can just relog back on. |

LOL, umm, what? That's just crazy. How about I play the fucking game I'm paying for as long as I wish, and "take a break" when I wish? I don't need a game kicking me out and telling me when I should take a break. Booting me from the game when I'm NOT AFK is completely unacceptable. The more I hear about this game, the less appealing it sounds. |

... wow... you know how utterly pathetic that makes you look? Not only did you not even bother reading the post you quoted, you basically just insulted a game that is kicking you off after playing for an amount of time that IS NOT HEALTHY!. |

I have also hit 6-7 hours and not been booted or bothered by anything but the hourly warning message to take a break. 24 hours... See, I don't blame NCSoft at all. If you're really and truly playing for 24 hours straight (which I think is pretty physically impossible except for a very rare few souls), you need to stop at that point to eat and sleep - its a health risk, and people have really died. Otherwise, you're botting, following, or otherwise cheating the system and adding to the queue for other players. This might be a leftover from Korea.

I get a warning every hour I think, but so far I haven't been kicked off. At first it bugged me, but now I appreciate it. When I get the message I think about it and sometimes I agree and log off to do something else, like clean house, shopping etc.
I played for 8 hours one day, and never got kicked off. |

Yeah. I think all NCSoft games have the "You have been playing for X hours, and should take a break". It is kinda funny to see how far you can get into a game before those hourly announcements actually makes you think you should stop. |

I saw them before, but on saturday when i played from 8-230, i didnt see any warnings. Maybe they just know im a grownup this time around right? Although im still a kid at heart. |

Originally posted by Rhoklaw Yes you get logged off after 25 hours... we found this out day after launch while using the shops. So... getting logged off after a 25 hour play session is a damn good thing. Keep you from going into renal failure. However, there is no queue, its treated just like a crash, and you can instantly log back in. So quit your bitching. |

The time-frame in which you get kicked out of the game is 25 hours. |

So you don't mind people having control over something you pay for then? Sorry to hear that. I myself prefer to drive my car when and where I want, without some car dealer driving up behind me, cutting me off and slamming on his brakes, just to get out of his car and tell me I've been driving too long. Sorry, you can keep your governed lifestyle, I think I'm old enough to know whats unhealthy and what isn't. Especially since I'm a medic in the US Army... which is by far the worse job when it comes to lack of sleep. |

Just listen to yourself, man. You claim to be a medic and then try to argue that it isn't unhealthy to play a videogame for 25hrs straight.
Mr. Medic, please answer this one question: Is it healthy to sit and play a videogame for 24 hours straight?
