They really need to fix their network code so it handle people without timing them out, its the kind of game you play keeping the window open while doing something else, having to relog every time you tab back is insanely annoying.

I second this, I do some ebay stuff and the game is a nice break so I float back and forth, but having to go through the whole login process does get old.
Logging in through Facebook solves this issue, that is if you stay logged into FB.
Clarification: It does not keep you from timing out, but it keeps you from having to go through the whole log in process. I simply click my bookmark and it takes me directly into my game.
Still a downer for those who don't have a facebook account. I know its hard to imagine, but I am certain there are still peeps out there who don't have one :D
Doesn't take much to re-log, but it is a minor nuissance.
For those who DO use facebook, I've only timed out once while using it... and it didn't happen for about 3 hours after I started playing.
I happen to be timed out for about the 10th time today just now....It has happened at least once every two to three hours every day since beta opened. Very annoying since log in time is taking an increasing longer period each day... I might give the facebook thing a try as Im getting tired of seeing the 403 forbidden page..
when timed out I was getting "error page not found 403" that has not happened today just timed out - re-login
Keep your face book, I'll remain free. A time out once a day is nothing.
Hey, you guys can keep complaining about the timeouts- I'll count our blessings. I've played so many betas where the servers just go down for hours or days, items (similar to those found in the S*T*A*R* menu) just disappear, quest logs and tool tips are translated with dictionary pages pasted to a dart board, and players tapping into exploits. Et cetera, et cetera.
This has been one of the cleanest betas I've ever been in, and I'll take the timeouts any day over disappearing items, especially.
