But this open source, so why should the topic be suddenly closed to server centric ideas.
This isn't "open server".... this is "open simulator" I think it would be great idea for both simulators to actually simulate the same exact region, and then they would only need to update what changed. A simple CRC, maybe a 10 byte packet or less, would be enough to tell exactly what changed. Aren't you interested in ways to decreased latency for the user experience?
