Just a heads up to devhub readers - we’re aware of the formatting issue on related API doc pages but it’s going to take a day to update the page. In the meantime, these are the rates (subject to change at any time):

Edit: Removed limit information from this post, as it was outdated. Please see the page for MessagingService on the DevHub for up-to-date usage limits, such as the number of messages per game server per minute and the number of subscriptions per game.

The possibilities are pretty insane with this release; this is much more than messages. I’m thinking full game shutdowns from one particular server are possible now, or a sort of live event that takes place in all servers. Well worth the wait :grinning:

What are the consistency guarantees for receiving messages? If I send a message, how guaranteed is it that it will arrive at all running servers (if the publish request doesn’t throw)? How much can the time vary between different servers receiving the message? Are there any other details there that developers should be aware of?

Very useful indeed. I myself will be using this new feature for before-raid warnings and event setup in my universe. :sunglasses:

Idea: Making cross-server matchmaking with this…

The subscriptions per game universe limit concerns me. The example on the wiki subscribes once for every user that enters the game (real world example being things such as cross server private chatting), but the max limit per universe is 10k, with no per-player scaling. What if my game gets popular and has over 10k players online?

Also, this is super awesome
