Dev here, feel free to ask me questions.
While looking at the js source code and modifying it a bit I was able to program keys W A S D to move my cell around. But it doesn't work after a bit. The protocol is send the position of the mouse (which corresponds to the cell) to the server and then it calculates change over time to get a velocity. So if I move too much it starts going forever in one direction. Although this is using a quad tree implementation for…
There are at least 12 servers at the moment, but they're divided between several regions so you're probably only seeing the IPs of the servers in your region. Each server also has several instances of the game, it creates more as demand rises. The most used resource on the servers is CPU.
I like how being huge vs the split strategy relates to the innovator problem

Dev here. Client side is javascript, no frameworks or anything. Server side is C++ with libuv for abstracting networking (I test it on windows but the actual servers are linux).
I found your inclusion of Bootstrap to be mildly amusing :)

How many different 'servers' or relms are there? Care to comment on how many concurrents any one can handle?

But wouldn't it be more efficient to calculate the velocity on the client side then only send changes to the vector?
Absolutely, I'm still waiting for my bank to let me modify the money in my account client-side, that way they'll have to do a lot less computing! I swear I'll never send the server anything dishonest, like say owning a billion dollars. :)
