Default Idle Players

Anyone,

I'm curious what it is I am seeing on my server (The Abyss), where tons of players appear to be logging in, and standing in the exact spot of creation, and not moving, for weeks at a time. 10 players, all piled up in the center of Nexus, for instance...

Are they really there? Who starts an EQ Titanium client, logs in, creates a toon, then leaves it standing in 1 spot for weeks? Are they actually disconnected, but my server hasn't noticed? Is this a bug with the ancient code needed to run Abyss's DB? maybe...

Just curious, since this doesn't seem to happen on my other EQEmu server (MT:R). Players log in there, play fine, and log out. No traffic jams at the point of creation.

Thought I would ask, because I cannot figure out if it's just me, or if people really just leave clients running endlessly... for whatever purpose.

Paranoiadly yours
J
