safe amount of energy to just be idle?

I was playing this morning, I had to run some errands so before I left I made sure I had a bit over 50 energy before I left.  I come back and I'm dead in hell.  I'm puzzled, I thought that I could only lose energy if I was doing something but I guess not.  Is there a base level of energy that is used?  Has anyone had this happen to them as well?

  • Just existing in the world does use up energy (i've never timed it). Just as you wake up in the morning and are hungry. 

    You can leave the game world. Staying in it really does nothing for you except save time on loading.

  • The Wiki says "Players lose 0.8% of their max energy every 90 seconds." So if you're going to be gone for half an hour, for example, you'll lose 16% of your max energy.

  • I thought something similar myself.

    I figured I was slowly losing energy just being active in the world, but I figured  that one I went AFK long enough (my character appears to fall asleep in game) that my energy was no longer being used (sleeping normally GIVES energy, not takes...).

    It appears we're both wrong :(

  • So, no matter your level, you're visiting Hell in just over 3 hours of idle time (from full energy). Therefore, as a day is 4 hours long, there is no 'safe' level of energy....

  • Ker-Heb: I also thought I would do that ONCE! I left comp on and was in world doing nothing while eating dinner in RL. I came back to being dead in game. I always exit out of world now. I do not like being dead.

  • if you know you're going to be afk for a while, why not just log out?
