roomObj.getUserList();

From the documentation

limbo: Limbo rooms are special rooms that can contain hundreds or thousands of clients that don't need to interact directly with each other. This type of room can be useful when the client needs to interact with the server, without the need to know the list of all the other users, their variables, etc...
When the limbo flag is turned on, the room suppresses certain events (new user arrived, user left, user count changed, room and user variables) and inhibits the ability to send public messages. This way the room can handle thousands of clients without generating too much traffic and saving bandwidth. If clients need to communicate with each other they can use private messages, which don't need to be broadcasted to all other users.
