I'm still trying to wrap my head around that, I just imagine it collapsing under the weight of everyone who would be spread throughout numerous servers on one. Even Maplestory had different servers.
It'll be like EVE, except instead of a huge number of star systems each running on separate servers that use the interstellar travel network to mask loading, it'll be a number of cities on separate servers with train/plane/highway travel masking the loading. Each city may further be chopped up into various districts with travel between them masking loading as well. So it will be one server in the meta sense, but using many server computers in a network to make it so.

We've got a guest thread for roleplay (but honestly, I'm suffering a lack of diversity) just because the population is so small. It seems that people think they're selling their soul for a game and just because they don't know the release date--? Well, I think I understand the mentality. Not wanting to set anything in concrete until you know you even want to play.
I, for one, am not that considerate. I just like roleplaying when it doesn't end inexplicably.
I just have plenty of other things available right now or in the near future to occupy myself with. Focusing on something that's definitely still years off will just make me impatient and frustrated. Knowing the exact release date won't make it any more worth my time, because I already know it's more than just a few months away.
