I feel that if I/we/someone started a new shard, I might be able to set up a process that could prevent getting burned out, especially if we didn't have to worry about tweaking every god damn aspect of RunUO. If we pushed out small, discrete features as opposed to giant systems.

I was also thinking that I *might* be able to apply a psuedo-CQRS architecture to a site for a shard where the entire state of the RunUO server is eventually cached in a Mongo database without effecting RunUO server performance. Would provide some pretty interesting/unique web interactivity.

Technically, if I pushed every packet (command) the server receives into a queue to be processed elsewhere for other purposes, I could use that same queue to do rollbacks to any exact period in time, not just the last world-save. Fuuck-me, that would be fun. Shit, I could even do a rollback that omits all the packets from a single person.... effectively undoing something bad just like punching a hole in a donut.

(if you can't tell, i love thinking of these sort of things :\ ...actually putting the time into implementing them is another story.)
