We still need a larger pool of players on with it to get a good indication of how much it might spam when someone enters the game. How well spaced out are those messages? Do they repeat themselves from seperate players so as not to have a lot duplicate messages coming from every player all trying to do an update? If there is enough time delay in sending the messages and a good filtering of data already sent by someone else, then there will likely be negligible reduction of performance to all in the channel. But if those two things are not well set up then there may lag spikes generated when someone logs in and the channel gets spammed by all the users trying to send the same info to the new arrival. That is what killed the usefulness of the trade aspect of Guilded in version 0.11.
