If an open portal creates a new player connection to a world, what about:-

• When looking up at a world in the sky using a totem, you can see locations but also other players moving about on the world… does that use a separate connection/thread?
• Does using an atlas on a world use a separate connection/thread? What about if you add an item to the atlas?
• Does tracking a friend or location require a separate connection/thread.

Hi, it looks like the websocket connection only happens when the client is making the main/initial connection to a world and not for any other reason. So I think that information must flow over the existing connection (or could be fetched over http instead of websocket).

I was also thinking, like Ocfos and others suggested, maybe more than 20% extra. Maybe 60%, so:

16 connections max to a 10-player world.
128 connections max to an 80-player world.
