Will this game only have one server its entire life? as in, the one thats up and running right now will be the one new players join when this game launches? |

The game does not run on just one server. It is a cluster of servers with each server covering a hex. |

I do not know the technical details but there have been blogs and threads about it. I think it is more like a server farm than a cluster as such. The servers hand off clients to each other as players cross hex boundaries. This handover has been the cause of a few issues in game when crossing to a new hex. Exactly what the specs of the individual servers are or how many are involved, I have no idea. |

Tyncale That link is about Zog which is the current test server not the current game server. It is a single shard world on a multi-server platform. This post on Piazo by Ryan about 6 months ago might help explain part of the issues. |

And those are just Zog. The Live servers are theoretically much beefier than some "cheap" SuperMicro servers on a rack. ![]() |
