Well last I heard the network code is not quite there yet. In theory what is going for is to have many people running zone servers and 1 world server. That way the bandwidth is distributed more across the board. However the network code needs to be reworked in order to do this. Basically it lags hard when it is like this. Besides why pay for all the bandwidth and having servers when the goal is to run your own server. I am not sure how UO Emu shards do it but are they all running on T1 or something higher. If so then I think the goal of the project was wrong cause no one(except that 21yr old girl in FL that won $108 million in the lottery) has the money to put a T1 somewhere for a EQ shard. Though I promise if I win the lottery or Powerball and have $108 million I would gladly get a T1 for my house. Ahhhhhh wouldn't that be sweet.
*added the whole bandwidth thing
