  It is 15 minutes for me. Maybe it is less for founders & Neverwinter pack buyers.
  I'd be glad if devs increase IT for another 15m

  15mins is long enough for anybody even those who have put money into the game..
  
  30-60mins is far too long and causes uneeded load on the server, plus if you were going to be afk for an hour anyways then why even bother logging on in the first place..

  Agreed with this. I suppose it would be a nice 'Thank you' perk for people who purchased the packs, but I don't really see why it should be needed.

  I dont see the point in anything longer than 15 minutes i.e the current idle time. If you need to afk longer, then just log out. The founders have already gotten what they felt was worth their cash. It's a bit late to ask for more imho, you got what you paid for.
  
  With the current idle system I can go take a long dump at the bathroom and read the paper without worrying about getting logged out.
  
  @OP: You could always quit smoking, would solve your idle issues, probable future health issues and horribly smelling home/clothing.

  When i was in the Resturant industry, they used to say it takes someone 7 -12 minutes to smoke a cigarette, i think 15 minutes for a cig to burn on its own from end to filter, and the owner would use this as a metric for how long someone had been to a table.
  
  if i think i will be more than few minutes, I just go to the char select screen and you can sit there for a looong time without being fully logged off. Not the best solution, but it is considerable less time than a full restart of the game.

  I got the pack but I feel no need for any extra perks - I already got what I paid for.
  
  I hope you realize that cigarettes are bugged. Proof being there is a patch out for them.

  Ok I get that if everyone had more time to idle then maybe there would possibly perhaps by chance be some sort of increased server load issue.. However, for those of us who actually forked over the cash to help finance the game can we get 30-60minute idle timers? It really is annoying to go afk for 5 minutes and come back to "You've been idle too long" and be booted 5 minutes later.. (yes I know it claims to be 10 minutes but I swear it rarely takes 10 minutes to pop that message up). I smoke, takes approx 8 minutes if I am really taking my time to smoke, 4-5 if I'm whoofin it down. Yet every time I return from a smoke I got a "you are about to be logged out" message box I have to click. This is most annoying when doing solo instances and the phone rings.. you have to babysit the computer so you don't get booted out and have to start over.

  
  Lol.
  
  An hour? lol
  
  You talk about being gone 8 minutes and 10 minutes is too short but you want an hour?
  
  How do you justify an hour of being afk?

  out of all the issue/bugs with the game currently, you want more afk time lol? how about fixing the map manager bug where you get kicked out of the group randomly that would be a nice fix.

  Because most other older and more populated MMOs allow alot longer time than 15 min. Since this one is new can we assume they are running modern HW or are they still serving those C64s with 28.8 baud modems.

  Name one.
  
  There is no point. If you are going to be afk for 15 minutes. This means no input from mouse or keyboard then you do not need to be logged in. It is a complete waste of server resources and bandwidth.
  
  Take care of your <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> before you log in.
