What happens if the client is connected to the MUD server and sits quietly in its account menu for an hour changing no information with the server? Usually muds disconnect clients that sit quietly for more than say 10 minutes. Why is that important? What happens on the low level of processes?

Why does a mud have to disconnect you if no information is changed during long time?
