-However, if the query matched more players than the server wants to return (currently 49), totalCount will be returned as 50 and numWhos will be returned as 49. Hence, totalCount being greater than numWhos seems to be a future-safe indication of the list having been truncated.
-''FrameXML has these two names swapped around, but I suspect that it is a bug. There is code to display a warning about the list being truncated, but it never triggers. -- [[User:Mikk|Mikk]] 15:47, 16 May 2006 (EDT)''
