There is another open development MMO trying to tackle server meshing. They just released a big presentation about their approach. I hope it's not against forum guidelines, It's a fantasy MMO, so I don't see it as real competition. I'm talking about Ashes of Creation. If you're a geek who loves following development like me, I'm sure you find this interesting. At least I did, it's refreshing to hear another team talk about server meshing and being truly passionate about such a technical subject, as CIG is. AoC is still in development and close to releasing a playable alpha. There really are a lot of similarities with SC, a large scale MMO going for 1 shard, but they take a slightly different route. Again if im breaking forum laws here, I'm sorry, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who'd like to see this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdav0as54mU Skip about the first 20 minutes to skip some introductory talk
