Marks your character as AFK

/afk message

Aliases

none

Arguments

message

Optional - This argument lets you define a custom auto-reply message.

Notes

Your status in the guild pane will be shown as <AFK> instead of Online

<AFK> will also appear next to your name above your character.

Whispers sent to your character will trigger an auto-response "<name> is Away From Keyboard.".

Typing this command in a battleground will remove you from the battleground, and you will receive the "Deserter" debuff just as if you had chose to leave the battleground from the minimap menu.

If you are already AFK and you do not have Auto-clear AFK turned on in the options, this will remove your AFK status.
