Idle--To be inactive.  Characters who are considered 
idle do not move at all and often are flagged as 
being 'idle', that is, their player has not entered 
a command to make them even twitch over a period of 
time.  Idle characters are defenseless and often 
come about as a result of a premature disconnection 
from the game. Idle characters using winged flight
(HELP FLIGHT) will land after a period of time and
mounted players (HELP MOUNT) will dismount. Those
able to rest will do so (HELP REST).
The above will not apply in mid-air or over water.
Idle characters will not be able to earn exp or
accept items given to them by other players.
You can set a message that is shown when someone
sends you a tell while afk.
