# of Servers?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rosencrantz:
By shard what I mean is somethign akin to a "logical" server. Basically the world that the players play in. For instance, World of Warcraft has well over 100 shards (which people sometimes also call servers, hence the confusion), whereas Eve Online is a single shard. In Eve Online all the players of the game play in the same virtual world. Each shard is often made up of seperate nodes, which are then made up of several physical servers.

ryguy_1617:
Ok I understand now. I think I meant shards then.

Morgul:
No, there will be one shard. However there would be multiple nodes.

ryguy_1617:
Ok, sounds good, so this will mean that all the players will be playing in the same univese...like on eve, right?

contingencyplan:
Yup. We'll have it split up, though, to where different people in different areas of the universe will be on different servers. But there's only one shard - only one instance of the in-game universe.
