WizzKidd Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Okay, I have Charn, Shari, Freya, and Richery all updated to use the new file. The question now is how often may I poll that file? I would like to do so once every minute if that would be acceptable? My bots deliver mail messages to users just like Gossip does, as well as maintain a list of online guild members that we can see. So, the more up to date the info, the better. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placid Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I would say 5 minutes is the lowest you should poll it. There's ~21KB difference in the txt file compared to the HTML page but 5 minutes should suffice, it's not CRUCIAL that you know who's come online in the last five minutes now is it?

You should contact Entropy directly and ask him as he'll have the decision on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
