Battleground 4 minute 'AFK' warning.

[Enfeebleness]

Alright, not sure how many people actually care too much, but figure it can't hurt.

Yesterday i felt like finishing some homework, and figured i might as well do it while in AV. However i've had my account for a long time now, and don't want risk it all by using some program to merely push space or something for me. I'm sure there are programs for this, but i decided i'd just record for 4 minutes (because 5 minutes = AFK = kicked out) and then play a quick music sample, so that you know to go back and hit space or move or something.

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

So that's basicly all this is - a 4:15 .wav file with nothing playing for the first 4 minutes, and then a small tune gets played, so you can just go back and hit your space bar, and you're never really going AFK.

Will also help if you want to do something like "I'm hungry, and this battleground sucks..." well volume up to max and you can know when 4 minutes have passed and you need to go do something to stay in the BG.


This won't be for everyone (i'm sure alot of people here would prefer to just throw up an AFK bot) but for the people that want less risk to their account, it can't hurt

BTW: The stupid music was the first thing i found on youtube for something as 'quick techno' that was actually in the seconds range. Not really my choice, i would have prefered a "Windows noise" myself, but meh, didn't want to go find it.

Also not going to show stupid "Scan results" for the file, if you don't want to download it, don't, or scan it, whatever.

Good luck, have fun




Edit: Also, IMO it helps alot if you go kill something prior to even leaving. Kill a wolf, doesn't matter, just making your damage not 0. Then Horde can probably head over to Stonehearth Graveyard (You can get on top of that building if you want, wall climb on top of it a few steps, and jump onto its roof), and alliance could probably go to Snowfall, or just go sit around Iceblood Garrison (where you fight the first 'boss'), just somewhere to stay away from the cave.

You could probably just as easilly sit in your cave and just wait (the AFK prevention is a joke), but this is more of a 'just incase' kind of thing ^^.
