    It does need to be taken into account that one world is not one server - it's probably at least 6 servers containing quite specific components and might be several servers more than that in truth. Then you have the data connections, backup facilities, etc. etc. - this is not off the shelf stuff you get from a hosting company.

    It's even more complex than that, since housing has its own servers, instances have their own servers, but they all use the same network, and so on. Plus this is all built on an ancient indian cemetery that's haunted by 1.0.

    Story issues are personal point of views, so I don't agree with you, I won't convert you to my point of view, neither the opposite, let's just call it a day.

    The other arguments are interesting, though.

    I agree with you on gearsets, there are indeed less than there was before, zones are indeed smaller, maybe even less diverse... These are all valid points, but does that make the game worse ? I mean, we don't use the open world anyway, except for some tribal quests, so gigantic zones may not be that interesting. Every area in the expansion serves a purpose in the story, and that's... just another way of doing things.

    But I still find it lackluster that the raid is indeed a bit disappointing. Arenas are not that great, P4S transition is laughable compared to the others... I must agree that if you don't like the story of EW, it's clearly a lackluster expansion. We can only hope that the alliance raid and future patches will be a breath of fresh air. It's still My favorite expansion, but I can't disagree with you.

    Yoshi said in the last live letter a world was made up of "tens of servers"

    We did get a picture of the OCE datacentre too showing its maybe 5 or 6 worlds.



    Edit: I think the 6 cabinets furthest from us might be the worlds (35 servers each), the closest three might be some of the instance servers shared for the datacentre. There are more off camera too.
