Idle

Being Idle means that a player is not responding to the situation on the computer, mostly because he/she is away from the computer or the program that he/she is using is loading too long, not allowing the person to do anything.

In Combat Arms, players are notified that some players in a room is idle, which is when they do not move their mouse (they are away from the computer) for around 5 minutes. This is a very annoying when a room gets filled with players, only to find out that the host of the room is idle and the game would not go on.

Luckily, idle players (including hosts) in rooms would be brought back into the lobby after being idle in a room for about 5 minutes. Players have complained about the long wait for a new, non-idle hosts, so the settings have been changed for that idle players are "kicked" out of rooms after only being 2 minutes in idle status.
