For each person online:
For each person (or 'humanlike' mob) that person has met:
8 bytes of pointers (could be 4 with a single linked list).
15 bytes of name (the person's, keep meaning to use a 4 byte int ID).
4* bytes of 'labelled' name (i'm probably going to take this out though).
4 bytes of information they know about the person (may add another 4).
*a pointer - uses 4 bytes when NULL, potentially as many as 15.
Remember I don't have many players - even on my old mud I never had more than
around 70-80, so I'm not expecting thousands (or even hundreds) once the mud
is finished. When I finish trimming it, it'll take 16 bytes per person online
per person they have met. I could make this more efficient if I had to by
using a single linked list, or by only loading up people as you meet them.
KaVir.
