FWIW, it also powered the most popular (in terms of player base) MMORPG before WoW took over.

I do not know anything about its backend and it would be hard to assume considering how much older it is. 1. https://ics.uci.edu/~wscacchi/GameIndustry/MMOGChart-July2006.gif https://ics.uci.edu/~wscacchi/GameIndustry/MMOGChart-July200...
