As I mentioned last week, Shannon Posniewski from Cryptic gave a presentation at GDC about SQL Databases and MMO’s. Well, today the Official Presentation Slides were posted on our corporate site.

Oh, and here’s the official title of the presentation, preserved for awesomeness:

and what we did trying to circumvent that
and how that didn’t work out very well
and what we’re doing now
