Unexpected disconnect

Glitch complained of an unexpected disconnect during the last test. I'm pretty sure that's because I left my character AFK and went to bed. The PC subsequently shut down, terminating the HTTP connection. The next morning, when I woke the PC up, Glitch said there was an unexpected disconnect.

I would imagine that this interaction would be common, especially as the game becomes more popular. It would be fairly straightforward, I think, to notice when a character has been AFK for some time before a disconnect occurs. That would allow Glitch to avoid being surprised, and hence avoid giving a confusing error message to the user.

Just a thought.
