im curious what the chinese farmers use to mass spam their advertisements to everyone in tells in game, i'd be interested to get my hands on something of that nature to broadcast in game events once or twice a day etc.

They would use their own software.

It would work by doing this:

/who all 1
/who all 2
/who all 3
...etc
Then builds a list of every player name
Then /tells every name.

Yep...do it with logging on then parse out the player names

heh actually now that I think of it...
There was an xml feed from VG players that you might be able to use in someway to get lists of players by server.

i dont want to know how they compile a list of names i want to know what software they used to spam out the mass tells to the names on their list and where (if anywhere) i could obtain such a utility.

Heh...thats easy...if you ran it in window mode could make something like that in like 20min in Visual Basic...if you were reading the names from a text file.

Exactly just write one in visual basic.

Get name from x.txt

set timer to grab name from list, copy name to clip board and then paste it with the prefix /tell and sufix of "go to www.x.com for gold".

Wouldn't even need to copy to clipboard...
Just read the text file line by line with a timer you set and sendkeys the text...and enter...and then done when EOF

Just do a do loop until you are EOF

just do /tell in a variable and combine it with name and a message you have in text1.text textbox...
