Multi Realm

Overview

Multi-Realm is a configuration in which a login server connects to more than one Realm, which are pairs of 1 char server and 1 map server.

login ──┬────────── (char ─ map)
        ├────────── (char ─ map)
        └────────── (char ─ map)

In this configuration, each Realm is isolated from one another, but uses the same login server (Nexus) to provide SSO functionality and to communicate with each other.

Rationale

The Multi-Realm configuration makes it possible to link together many entirely different games. Each Realm has its own separate mob dbs, npc scripts, items, configuration, etc. The Realms can be spread over multiple hosts, which makes it possible to have different servers for each region (ie America, Europe, Asia) to improve latency.
