         I noticed the other day that a number was being generated and displayed on the main page of Illyriad everytime 
        I refreshed the map by selecting the world map icon.  
        
         

        
        
         

        
        
         

        
        
         A little digging found that it was a traffic tracker linked to quantserve.com .  
         
          
           

          
          
           
           

          
         
        
        
         

        
        
         Can anyone verify if this is legitimate and used by the Illyriad team?  I am using Chrome and the only other extensions installed are Illytools and Moguls FT Watch.  
        
        
         

        
        
         It hasn't been anything more than a visual nuisance thus far but it would be nice to know that something else isn't going on.  Malwarebytes didn't care about it so there is a very good chance it isn't a problem and I am simply being overly concerned.  lol
        
        
         

        
        
         Thanks for any info.

	The red number is part of the Fortune Teller watch plugin. Its just a counter of how many worldmap updates have been examined looking for the fortune teller. Notice the id(in bold). I've examined the plugin, and the only thing sent to Mogul's server is the location of a Fortune Teller when one is found. <div id=" ft_ext" style="position: absolute; top: 180px; left: 20px; font-size: 12px; width: 50px; height: 25px; color: red; z-index: 9999;">1</div> Summary: Nothing to worry about, its supposed to do that.
