Errors getting data

Post by Susie »

When I run Census I very often get the message
"Error - too many charakters"
Mostly for druids, paladins and humans on our server.

That is due to Blizzard's limits on the who command... it is actually common to see "too many" level 80 paladins (especially blood elves) online... even when Census goes to individual letters level, which is the best it can do. Night elf druids... Draenei shamans... on high population servers human almost anything... etc... it happens...

If Censusplus finds more than 49 individual characters that share the same level, race, class and a letter, that error shows up. And unless Blizzard increases the maximum size of the who list, Rollie can not do more to increase accuracy.

I actually do a fair bit of coverage when the 'Too Many' message is fired. I check several letters and hopefully catch nearly all of the possibilities.

I suppose when a letter fires the error, you could try such as

-race -class -level -name ab
-race -class -level -name ac
...
-race -class -level -name ax
-race -class -level -name az

But.. that would add alot mor queries.. that might lead to nothing?.. or even the same error.. ?
