External website which reads the data from the webpage of your choosing and returns it, doing so will require HttpService.

But that is totally stupid and pointless and you should just use DataStores to hold the data.

Using DataStores for this along with everything else would cause us to breach the throttling rate

Breaching the DataStore limit?

Stop using it wrong.

@Wowza, learn how to datastore, k.

That's not the DataStore limit. The limit applies to the size of a value being saved (i.e. a JSON'ed table might get cut off), NOT the amount of data stored (ba-da-tsst) on hard drives.

Ever heard of datastore throttling rates? Last I checked it was 60+(10*numberOfPlayers), which for games with a lot of features that rely on the DataStore Service sometimes just isn't enough, no matter how efficient you make it.

That it WAYA more than enough xD

You need to save what? Every 15 seconds (and only if the data has changed)?

That is 4*NumPlayers*NumStoresPerPlayer*ProbabilityOfStoreUpdate + 4*OtherEvents*ProbabilityOfOtherEvents

Compact everything and all will be fine. You could change saving to once per minute if you like, and aside from a server crash (unlikely) no data will be lost. Of course, there will be times when you need to save data FAST (teleporting) but you can limit the maximum number of quick teleports.

Really, 60 + 10*NumPlayers is no issue.
