Extend the duration of idle instance to 30 mins ~ 1 hour temporily.

How about an alternate solution whereby if the last town portal is still active, it will remain until the idle instance has been trashed, as oppose to immediate removal of active town portal upon disconnection. The instance is still there anyway, at least now one can jump right back in.

I made a thread yesterday suggestion exactly that: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/83544

In that case, we should bump it for more to notice

I noticed that the Slums in Act 3 is nothing but instances that don't expire for 30 minutes. Not sure if that's exclusive to Act 3 or not but they may have changed the time out period.

Nope, there are the same, I have been running thru slums for 7 times before I managed to get to waypoint in warehouse due to disconnection

If you enter the Slums then leave the Slums and Ctrl-Left Click the entrance to the Slums it will list your Instance with a 30 minute timer. I had around 6 Instances active at one point while trying to get it to generate one where you start off heading to the top left instead of top right :P because that's what I was used to after I first loaded the area for the first time.

Yeah I'm picky.

Well, that seems strange, as I was quite sure I didn't even spent 20 mins in warehouse looking for the waypoint before got disconnected. Been it has already been reset once I go back in. Maybe they hardcoded the duration checking function. The only way to confirm it is to create a instance, go in and explore a bit and let it idle for 20 mins and see if it's still there. If it isn't then it would be technical bug where applications / program is not functioning the way they are intended.

I was thinking, maybe the itens could disappear before the map reset? Since there are tons of itens lying around for each map I go. With so many itens from so many people it would sure brought more time for the map itself. Of course I don't think should disappear while you are on the instance, but after a while after it being idle.
