> Also WoW: Shadowlands had massive lag for shared zones, fancy cloud tech could probably help a bit Actually, high lag in shared zones has been for the past several expansions been because of cloud tech. Sometime around Cataclysm they switched from dedicated hardware to cloud shards, and since then lag in packed zones has been bad because the shards that get spawned are almost never big enough to keep up with the load. This is exacerbated by ever more complex combat — a large battle between players in Shadowlands is many times more demanding than the same size battle in original WoW.
