Tobold, who recently started mainling methadone to combat his addiction to "playing with his Gnome", has dedicated a lot of time to figuring out the actual landmass of Azeroth, the mythical setting for World of Warcraft.
Did anyone ask for this kind of in-depth geekery? Absolutely not.
Will it postively affect the course of humankind's evolution? It's a detriment, if anything.
Is Destructoid proud to be on the same Internet as this Tobold fellow? You know it!
Tobold, we salute you and your fly calculations. We'd send you a puppy or something, but we're pretty sure you're an evil robot.
(Oh, and if anyone's wondering, Azeroth is about 80 square miles.)

If the puirpose was to cram half a million users into a single server then being sharded/multiple server would defeat it. However that isn't the purpose at all. No one said that every player in an mmo has to play in the very same server. 2000 players in a single server still accounts for "massively multiplayer"
I suggest if your gonna get hung up on such things you play Eve. They have one galaxy inter-connected so that 20,000+ players interact in the same area.
