- Description
-
"AFK" is an abbreviation for "away from keyboard," used when a player is present in a game or match but temporarily inactive. In gaming chat and reviews, it often describes teammates or opponents who stop providing meaningful input while the action continues around them. The tone is usually annoyed or mocking, especially when an inactive player forces everyone else to wait. It is informal shorthand familiar to online multiplayer communities and is commonly written in uppercase.
- Example
-
— Why is our healer standing in the corner during the boss fight? — They went AFK to make a sandwich and apparently chose a five-course meal.
The virtual tournament became a surreal statue garden when three AFK players stood motionless while the remaining competitor tried to win by politely carrying the entire team.
The Single Player is great aside from the fact that you have to have an internet connection to play it and can be kicked out if the servers die but the Multiplayer is gaaaarbage! AFK killers, AFK teammates the best part is if you get both you get to wait out the entire match just to get credit for it.
