Server Clustering
In order to combat the problems of dwindling population, Mythic began to initiate server clusters. This involved grouping various servers together, allowing players to interact with those from other servers. The first server cluster went live with patch 1.74 on February 8, 2005, grouping together the Palomides, Iseult, Bors, and Gawaine servers. Over the years, the server groupings/clusters have changed numerous times. The latest incarnation, Ywain, is a super cluster which grouped the entire playerbase into one. This went live with version 1.99b on September 10, 2009.
