Disconnected because you didn't move

They're just a number in a statistic that is severely unbalanced in accuracy when trying to find out the statistic of how many people DO play.

I didn't say the player count dropped because of that, I said players don't log on servers because of that, example:

I go to my PC, log on Era and take a look at the player count:

"Damn, only 12 players, sucks!"

I log out again, because I know that I'll get disconnected anyways after 15 minutes, if I idle.

Now if I could just idle as much as I wanted, I'd stay logged in and idle. Eventually 3, 5, 10 even 20? other people would do the same. Seeing as the player count raises everyone starts playing...
