wait, is the max # of players allowed on a server at a time still 255? (excepting ghost mode of course)

if not then it may be 2 bytes of data required to download, even still, lets do some maths here

there are usually 500 people online graal at one time

500 x 2 byte = 1 kilobyte

now, if there were 10 playerworlds

then 1kb x 10 = 10kb

now, of course, usually only 5 percent of these players actually have the serverlist open so

10kb * .05 = .5kb

now, the rate could be a refresh of one second which gives of .5kbs

so the bandwidth used by dynamically updating playerlist numbers is only .5kbs (10% of the upload speed of a standard 56k connection)
