Get the afkmug. Urbandictionary is full of definitions for this word that say it means "away from keyboard" (in gaming), i.e. the player is inactive, doesn't respond to greetings, such and such. Most of the time, this is what it means.
I would like to give a specific example to further flesh out its meaning: in RuneScape, there is such a thing as "afk training". Literally it's a playing style where you are not literally away from the keyboard or even inactive, you're just doing something on a split screen or paying little attention to what's going on in the game itself as you train your skills, because they are designed to be done "afk", or more accurately, "semi-afk". We just call it afk in this game no matter what.

Get the Afk in vanishmug. "AFK" stands for "Away From Keyboard". It is commonly used in online multiplayer games and chat platforms to let others know that the person is not currently at their computer or device and will not be able to respond to messages or participate in the game. It is used as a way to let others know that the person will be temporarily unavailable, and it's a way to inform others that the person is not purposely ignoring them.
Joe: Hey Bob, where did you go? I need your help with this dungeon boss.
Bob: Oh sorry, I had to step away for a moment. I'll be AFK for a few minutes.
Joe: OK, no problem. Let me know when you're back.
Bob: Will do.
