The fact SE still uses a pitch black loading screen says quite a bit too. Such a wasted opportunity to convey some lore. You know, once they figure out what that is lol

All the graphics and stuff are client side, but the server has to know where you are at every point in time since that information is tracked on their side. Otherwise there'd be nothing stopping you from using wall hacks and other such things.That sounds promising. I am no MMO tech guru but one I thing I never understood was why so much has to be done on the server side? Can't my computer handle all of the content and graphics locally while the server simply keeps track of positions of characters, items etc? So basically the server tells my client that another player is approaching and my computer does all of the rendering of that event?
