Was just curious how much data usage people use for eq while boxing. I've run into a problem that has forced me to use a hotspot for the time being and I'm seeing about 654 mbs for 12 hours .
How much data do you guys normally use when you box?
Does standing in the guild hall with a bunch of toons vs them fighting use more bandwidth ?
No idea how much bandwidth I use for EQ.
But almost undoubtedly you'll use more data fighting than standing around.
Combat inherently introduces more outgoing/incoming data just to provide information on hits/movement.
A guild hall is small, lacks a large population (generally speaking) to have to communicate data related to location changes.
Unless there is someone banging on a training dummy while in the guild hall, chances are there is no data being received related to hits/songs/spells being used a lot.
Also, I'd expect pets being summoned with buffs to provide additional data for the local character.
Generally speaking buffs aren't communicated to other characters, unless the other character happens to be targeting you.
Health is not communicated on things not on XTarget, a Target, or in your group. So provided you're not grouped I would expect even less data being shared. (even a raid doesn't provide health/mana/endurance data unless the raid member is on xtarget or in group)
