A quick question, maybe a little noobish.

bare with me, this may be really noobish of me but I have only been playing for a few days so technically I am a noob.

So I see people sitting on the ground with <AFK> in front of their name, I know that it means Away From Keyboard but my question is, how do I get that in front of my name for when I'm going AFK?. Is that what happens when I logout? are these people that are currently logged out? if not, then I want to know how I can use the <AFK> thingy. Thanks in advance.

ok. you go <AFK> after you have been exactly that (away from keyboard) for i think its 5 minutes. so basicly its when you walk away from your character and just leave them there somewhere. AFK doesnt really do anything at all, just lets others know that you are away. you can also type /afk and that puts you into afk.

...just dont do it in a battleground or you will get kicked out lol. :)

Thanks, I just wanted to know how to use it so I could let others know that I was going AFK.
