# Playtime Points ### What Is the Playtime Tracker? The Ragnarok Classic tracks how long you actively play the game. Your accumulated playtime serves as a **currency for the Autoattack feature** — when Autoattack is turned on, it **consumes** your banked playtime instead of earning it. This system rewards players who put in real effort before benefiting from automation. Playtime is tracked at the **account level**, meaning it persists across all characters and survives character deletion. *** ### How Playtime Is Earned The tracker updates every **60 seconds** for all online players. Each update checks your activity status using the client's idle timer: | Status | Condition | What Happens | | ----------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Active** | Idle for less than 2 minutes | Time is added to your **Active Playtime** pool. No cap. | | **Idle** | Idle for 2 minutes or more | Time is added to your **Idle Playtime** pool. Capped at **2 hours** maximum. | | **Autoattack On** | Autoattack is enabled | Time is **deducted** from your total playtime instead of earned. | > A player is considered "idle" when they have not performed any input (movement, skill use, chat, etc.) for **120 seconds or more**. *** ### Playtime Pools Your total tracked playtime is split into two separate pools: | Pool | Description | Cap | | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :---------: | | **Active Playtime** | Time earned while actively playing (moving, attacking, chatting, etc.) | No cap | | **Idle Playtime** | Time earned while idle (AFK but still logged in) | 2 hours max | | **Total Playtime** | Active + Idle combined. This is what Autoattack consumes and what is checked for unlock requirements. | — | *** ### Autoattack System Autoattack is a convenience feature that lets your character attack automatically. However, it comes with playtime restrictions to prevent abuse. #### Requirements | Requirement | Details | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Minimum Playtime** | You must have at least **1 hour** (60 minutes) of total playtime before Autoattack can be enabled. | | **Playtime Balance** | Autoattack will automatically **stop** if your total playtime reaches **0**. | #### How Consumption Works While Autoattack is active, every 60-second tracker cycle **deducts** elapsed time from your total playtime instead of adding to it: 1. **Active Playtime is consumed first.** Time is subtracted from this pool until it reaches 0. 2. **Idle Playtime is consumed second.** Once active playtime is depleted, the remaining cost is taken from idle playtime. 3. **Autoattack stops at 0.** When both pools are empty, Autoattack is automatically disabled and you'll receive a message to play manually. #### Autoattack Status Check The server checks every **5 seconds** whether each online player has Autoattack enabled. During each check: * If Autoattack is on but total playtime is below 1 hour, it is **force-stopped** with a warning showing how many minutes remain until unlock. * If Autoattack is on but total playtime has been fully consumed, it is **force-stopped** with a depletion message. *** ### Player Commands #### @checkplaytime Available to **all players**. Displays your full playtime status in the chat window. **Output includes:** | Field | Description | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Account ID | Your account identifier. | | Char ID / Level | Current character's ID and Base Level. | | Player Name | Current character name. | | Status | ONLINE or OFFLINE (database check). | | Timer Type | Shows your current idle time in seconds and whether it's counting as Active or Idle. | | Auto Attack | Whether Autoattack is currently ON (consuming time) or OFF. | | Active Playtime | Hours and minutes of active playtime banked. | | Idle Time | Hours and minutes of idle time banked (max 2h). | | Total Time Tracked | Combined active + idle time (this is what Autoattack consumes). | | Autoattack Unlock | Shows "UNLOCKED" if total time is 1 hour+, or how many minutes remain. | | Time Since Last Update | How long since the tracker last processed your account. | *** ### How It All Fits Together Here is the typical flow for a new player: | Step | What Happens | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1. Log in | The tracker detects you and begins recording your playtime every 60 seconds. | | 2. Play actively | Active playtime accumulates with no cap. Idle time accumulates separately (max 2 hours). | | 3. Reach 1 hour total | Autoattack becomes available. Your total playtime (active + idle) has passed the threshold. | | 4. Enable Autoattack | Playtime stops increasing and starts **decreasing** every 60 seconds instead. | | 5. Playtime runs out | Autoattack is automatically disabled. You must play manually to earn more time. | | 6. Play manually again | Active/idle playtime begins accumulating again, replenishing your Autoattack budget. | *** ### Technical Details | Detail | Value | | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Tracker update interval | 60 seconds | | Autoattack check interval | 5 seconds | | Idle threshold | 120 seconds (2 minutes) of no input | | Idle playtime cap | 7,200 seconds (2 hours) | | Autoattack unlock requirement | 3,600 seconds (1 hour) total playtime | | Storage | Account-based (`acc_reg_num` table) — persists across characters | | Autoattack flag | Character-based (`char_reg_num` table) — per character | | Elapsed time sanity range | 5–179 seconds accepted per cycle; gaps over 180 seconds are treated as offline periods | *** {% hint style="info" %} **Economy Note:** The Playtime Tracker ensures that Autoattack is a reward for active play, not a replacement for it. By requiring real playtime before enabling automation — and consuming that time while it's active — The Ragnarok Classic keeps manual players on equal footing and prevents unattended farming from dominating the economy. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
