Hi there,
Ever since more or less the release of Classic, roleplayers have been plagued with pretty predictable disconnects while trying to RP. This seems to be caused by some kind of automatic script or tool that’s kicking people for being idle or for idling in the wrong way, as it occurs specifically during roleplay, and often at very predictable intervals.
Generally, when you start roleplaying you might have anywhere from 60 minutes to two hours to play without being disconnected. Possibly depending on what else you did before starting (ie. longer if you just got out of a dungeon, shorter if you just logged on to RP). But, once you start getting disconnected, it starts happening almost on the dot every 60 to 90 minutes at predictable, but disruptive intervals. This happens regardless of addons and regardless of server population (on both Bloodsail Buccaneers and Grobbulus).
It seems like it might happen less at larger RP events where you’re using items, rolling, and in larger groups, but there’s really no way to prevent it entirely.
