    For the record, the "shards" terminology for different worlds/dimensions is only for within the game. Not for the different identical server-worlds on a data centre.

    (Or if it makes it easier to picture, each server "world" has its own set of shards.)

    But "shard" has been used as a synonym for "server" in several other MMOs for many, many years.

    I stand corrected then. But I've never seen anyone use the term here before.
