Summary:
Please do not automatically disconnect players after 60 minutes for a new build; please allow 24 hours.
Details:
After spending nearly two hours setting up a lovely pack of 13 Charr in pre-searing for death leveling and being excited about the prospect of getting to level 17 with this group, I was happy this morning to awake and see my game still running, and one trio leveled up and ready to slaughter.
So when I sat down to the task, I was surprised and annoyed to see messages on my screen in intervals, "A new build of Guild Wars is available. Please exit and run the program again. You will be automatically disconnected in 60 minutes." Another message a few lines down for 30 minutes, and another for 15 minutes, and so on until I received an error 7 and could not reconnect.
While I understand doing this when a player is in an outpost, if someone is in the middle of a long task, a 60 minute window is not enough warning. Please allow 24 hours to pass before you send an automatic disconnection. It was disheartening to lose those 10 remaining Charr.
