AFK

AFK is short for "away from keyboard". When a player is marked "AFK", they are not actively playing the game, but remain logged in. Some games will automatically flag players as AFK if no input has been received. In addition, players can set their own status as "AFK" if they plan on being away for a short period of time. Some games, such as World of Warcraft, will automatically log a player out if they remain AFK for an extended period of time.
