How To Stay Online

What actions will keep us online?
There is a lot of misinformation going around about whether or not hotkeys and/or clicking manually will keep us online, and if so, which locations do and do not work. Some sort of official guidance or clarification would be nice, or short of that, findings from any tests done by the community.
Thank you!

Keeping you online is based on page switches.
Clicking to pageswitch or hotkeys to pageswitch doesn't matter.
Note that F5 (refresh) will not keep you online as that is not a pageswitch.
A pop in activity log will keep you online, as that tracks pageswitches and also actions.
Actions also do keep you online. So that included buying equipment for a hero for example.
The main pages CityCentre, Hospital, Border etc. should keep you online or any combination of the sorts.
There should be a list somewhere of what pages are included. But you can count on it that all the major pages would keep you online.
Im not sure about informational pages like refguide/rankings/buddies and those kinda pages.
But again, playing the game and switching between the main pages shouldn't give any problems.

I am kind of disturbed that F5 doesn't keep you online. It is the best way to refresh border to csf for example, or check pvp targets. F5 should keep you online in my opinion.

You can still use F5 to check for csf or to refresh for pvp targets..
However, it won't keep you online for longer than 5 minutes.
The alternative is being vulnerable to cheating by untracable refreshes, no thanks.
