This addon will call ForceQuit() right before you are supposed to be logged out for being Idle. This will return you back to your OS instead of going to the character selection screen and then being dropped back to the login screen.
The idea is to avoid running your graphics card at 100% GPU all night when you fall asleep without logging out. It also allows your OS to start its screen saver or power down the monitor (and other hardware devices)

You most likely were just disconnected from the game due to a network connectivity issue. An addon cannot account for such an occurrence.

Did you try this in a city, or outside?

However, I found a solution. When the system message that warns you are about to logged out is sent, I triggered a ForceQuit(). I've tested this.
