AFK checks: Currently there are 2 types of AFK checks.

- Gump checks. These will pop up as a window within your game screen, with a captcha to solve. These are primarily seen as part of gathering actions, IE: fishing, mining, spinning, lumberjacking, etc.

- Manual checks. A staff member does rounds or all players actively hunting/farming/killing or in areas where there are monsters. The staff member will spawn a large brightly colored item (IE: a monster, wall, statue, or animated sparkles) that will then ask you a simple question. The question will appear above your character's head. You get numerous chances to answer the question, spanning approximately 1 minute. If you do not answer the question, you will be considered AFK and punished accordingly. You must answer the question accurately (spelling isn't a major issue so long as it's close). Saying "I'm here", answering with a 'funny' response, or other phrase(s) are not considered an answer and can result in being jailed anyway. This is because some players do use auto-responding scripts.
