Heck, maybe even have some kind of limiter. Like if there's enough people on the server for there to be alot of strain, it stops itself from sending the message and sends a message to the original sender saying that it can't be sent.

But I don't think it would be too much, especially if the ability is only limited to faction leaders.

Searching 200 things and sending them a message if they fulfill a requirement is not a complicated thing for a computer to do. Like at all.

Its not the actuall searching that cost cputime - its the I/O operations reading the account data that will cost server ressources. Remember, FLhook is an additional DLL, that excutes functions within the FLserver main thread.
Having to do I/O during the timeslice that FLhook functions gets allocated WILL deterioate FLservers ability to keep up with everything else it is supposed to do.
