Interesting aproach to data ownership philosophy, I/O techniques and source of truth fuckery in MMO-like systems

Early MMOs (WoW, Asheron's Call, Everquest, Daoc) were very impressive in terms of distributed computing.

They were not really distributed though, I think one of the first that really started was Guild Wars 2.

DAoC was basically a Linux box with a bunch of processes connected to MySQL.

I love reading the source code of WoW private servers. They are not the official code but for example TrintyCore is quite nice c++ code.

You missed the opportunity to talk about WoW private servers like Trinitycore.

Trinitycore emulator can handle 10k+ players on a single server.

The WoW development diary talks abit about their server code and how they handle the load.

Thanks!
