Inactive Purge does not recognize connected player

The purge system does not recognize a connected player as being active.  For example, if a player logs in 8 hours prior to an automated purge and does not disconnect before purge runs, the system would determine the player to be inactive and purge would take effect.  Is it possible to have the purge timer reset on player connect rather than disconnect?

This issues has been reported by players on different servers over time, and while it doesn't happen often, it is devastating to the players who are purged when they shouldn't be.
