phone can get from where it is to Google in 500ms most days, unless you make
it a 4g and wifi only game.

Subject: [google-appengine] Using App Engine as a server for an Android
game.

Greetings App Engine people,

So i'm creating a multi-player android game and thought it would be a
interesting idea to have App Engine handle the server work.
The game consists of 4 players, each phone requests an update every
0.5 seconds.
These requests are very simple and lightweight so i shouldn't be over
reaching any free quotas.
The problem i found was that App Engine only handles 500 requests per
second, i would only be able to have around 60 game sessions active before
App Engine will start ignoring new requests?

"App Engine's quota system allows for efficient applications with billing
enabled to scale to around 500 queries per second (qps) or more than 40
million queries per day."

So how much would it be without billing enabled?
Also on the same page there is a request form for additional requests, would
i be eligible for this and what would the consequences be?
Or should i just not use this platform because it is not made for this kind
of usage?

Thank you kindly, i'm looking forward to an answer.
Greetings,
Rohan Chandiramani
