Everyone wanted the Buddy List feature to include a little counter so you could easily see if a new buddy just hopped online. Originally I didn't want to do this, because I concerned Saidar would explode.
Well, being the sharp cookie that I am, I came up with a better way to implement such a feature, so it's there now.
To all the premies out there, enjoy.
To all the non-premies out there, what the heck are you waiting for?
