    With the amount of crashes some people have been having, I'd have thought they were using evasion shards.

    A server shard is this

    Ok, so the picture above is a total lie and games that run on one server don't really run on one server, but you get our point. With the MMO genre slowly evolving, newer games are beginning to adopt the "one server" architecture idea instead of running multiple shards of a world, each equipped with their own name and specific population of characters.

    Of course, both sides have their ups and downs. "Sharding" your world, a term that derives right from the lore of Ultima Online, lets you deal with a smaller community, make close friends, and have a more "shared" massive experience. However, should you not play on the same world as your friend, you're never going to get to see them!

    One server, on the other hand, lets you meet everyone who plays the same game as you. Simply by switching instances you can have an easier time finding a mob to spawn or a clear area to camp. However, some say that this detracts from the community of a game, as instances aren't as personalized. Or, in the case of EVE Online, you're one pilot stranded in the lone universe.

    So what's your opinion on this war, dear readers? Comment and let us know!

    Depending on the problem (not specified) can be a major headache or may even require full rollback, I say we all go to sleep. b:chuckle

    Disadvantages of sharding

    Sharding a database table before it has been optimized locally causes premature complexity. Sharding should be used only when all other options for optimization are inadequate. The introduced complexity of database sharding causes the following potential problems:

    Increased complexity of SQL - Increased bugs because the developers have to write more complicated SQL to handle sharding logic.
    Sharding introduces complexity - The sharding software that partitions, balances, coordinates, and ensures integrity can fail.
    Single point of failure - Corruption of one shard due to network/hardware/systems problems causes failure of the entire table.
    Failover servers more complex - Failover servers must themselves have copies of the fleets of database shards.
    Backups more complex - Database backups of the individual shards must coordinated with the backups of the other shards.
    Operational complexity added - Adding/removing indexes, adding/deleting columns, modifying the schema become much more difficult.
