I was just thinking about some previous posts, stating the benefit of distributing your world into regions across several machines. Obviously this is a good idea, however I''m curious as to the actual mechanics of how it would work. When one player moves into another region, what exactly goes on behind the scenes? Would the server send the client a packet telling it to disconnect and (transparently) reauthenticate and log into the new one, the one that hosts the region he''s moving to? And while all this is going on, I suppose that any items in his posession would have to shoot over to the new server''s memory as well. Does this sound like how it would generally go on? I''m just curious, heh. Anthracks
