FYI.... I'm almost ready to start some testing in beta soon, progress on the new server backend has been very good the last few days.
Dynamic load-balancing is going to be very cool, zones will automatically split and merge based on the number of objects in a zone. This will be completely invisible to the client. If your a programmer, then you understand already how cool this is, and how very hard it is to do at all
Anyway, just wanted to update everyone... and let you all know something is coming soon.

Faustus, you are the man.
Take your time and keep doing your best I look forward to a great patch, and to testing it with you.

Thanks for the news, Faustus.
Finish it when you can. I can't wait to see the results, but don't rush things.

Hehe, and to think Faustus is going to have a working dynamic load balancing Massive Online game before IBM. HAHAHA
PS I believe it is called Project Butterfly if I remember right.

I read somewhere that SWG wanted to do one mega server, but couldn't figure out how to do it... I'll refer them to you Faustus
