Title, you see it in steam if you ever waited to join a server. |
| Treynolds416:
Good idea |
| JPSC:
Sounds good except that would be like DDoSing a server because of the constant packet sending. |

A packet travels to the server, and comes back. A mod like this could pick an interval like 1 second. Packets sent to a connected client (includes in-game and the datablock/download phases) are 128 bytes each, and there are 32 packets sent per second per client. There is no problem in making a mod, so long as the server checks player count before authentication (the way it should be). |
