What is the Message Rate Limit, exactly?

wilson0x4d · May 2015

I know why it happens. I know what purpose it serves. I am asking a very specific question about the MRL behavior/enforcement itself:

For example, many IRC networks have a message rate limit of 10 messages within X seconds, and then enforce no more than 2 messages every 2 seconds until the user stops spamming. Once the user stops spamming for X seconds, the MRL resets.

What are the rules for ESO;s message rate limiting.

I am an add-on author and simply want to Play Nice(tm) with ESO.

Thanks!

Also, if ZO reps/agents/employees are prohibited from disclosing I'll just go test it out and cross-post the code and results to github, esoui and here.

Thanks.

That's very interesting wilson, I have seen someone spam a lot of text within 10 seconds and they probably hit enter 8 times and then they just stoped. So I'm not honestly sure what happens when you spam. Honestly though I would like to know too. I hope you can find a way to figure this out! Good Luck!

I'm sure the addon creators of guild mails have it figured out, I only used MailR but it pauses while mailing "waiting on ZOS" so it doesn't get you for spamming. Contacting them through ESOUI might get you some answers.
