GEM vs Guilded Raider

[Ruvanal]

I established the GEM channel as AVevents and the password is the same as the lurkerlounge.com TS server.

Edit: changed the channel name due to some issues that Quark was having.

There has been a problem in the game with mods that try to set and use the password for channels. Frankly it usually does not work. If the channel is not in constant use 24/7 then the password aspect does not stick and you will end up with a channel that does not have a password assigned to it. I had already run into that when I tried to join the channel/password that you had set up prior to this post. Even though you said you had a password on that channel, the only way I could join was to remove the password and then I could join the channel.

Darian:

My main problem with the add-on is concern over message spam causing lag. We'll see how it goes.

I can't check to see what level of chat spam the mod is generating until there are at least 10 players on line at the same time using this mod. It would also likely take at least 6 events in the list to be there to see how much chat traffic the events are generating.

I do know that the GuildedPlayerTracker mod that some are using is generating more chat spam on the avarice channel than I care for. There have been a couple of times that I needed to shut off the guilded mod to cut out some spam. Before I could manually exit that channel with a newly logged in character, I could see just how much spam was running in that channel. The GuildedPlayerTracker is generating at about 2 messages per player that has that mod active on their system. That appears to be a lot more than is being used by the portions of the guilded put together. From what I can tell the silent messages being sent by the other modules are only generating a couple of tells when key events happen (players enter/leave game, change zone, etc.). The GuildedPlayerTracker appears to be generating its tells when the character moves to change their position on any of the maps. To me that is likely a lot more channel traffic than what is likely to used to send the data for some scheduled events or when someone adds their name to one of the sign ups.
