Achaea is on a smaller scale than Everquest, but it's how many people
you have on a shard that is the important factor in terms of how the
game itself works within the game. There's very little interaction
between shards, if any, as I understand it. Shards have what, a couple
thousand people on at once at max? That's a magnitude larger than
Achaea. Definitely quite a bit larger, but nothing I'm doing wouldn't
scale to a couple thousand people online at once.
