why does awcom charge $10 for every extra user
limit? im getting more and more complains every
day at how low it is and i know i could just fess
up the 50bucks but that is A LOT to be adding 5
users :P

Oh please...$10 for each new USER? Most people hardly ever stay in a world long enough to suck THAT much bandwidth off the uniserver. MUCH more bandwidth is used by the world and object (WAY much more still!) servers. AWC is just being stingy.

The world heartbeat is the same independant from the user
count I think. The bandwith that the OP sucks depends very
much on the object refresh. All the larger AW worlds use
the same OP so they don't load for each world.
Worlds with a large group of frequent visitors need only
very little object refresh if the object refresh is set to
a high value.

So the only thing that really should affect the bandwidth
of a WORLD server is the people count.

For the universe server it should not matter which world
a person visits, the polling frequency should be the same.

Duh...that's my point: world-uniserver interaction bandwidth is almost negligible. Hence, there's no real justification for $10/user...
