This right here is an assumption. For example, it was untrue of
UO. Players who were offline still affected the availability of game
resources for players who were online, in the form of housing,
objects loaded for houses, vendors, etc.

In SWG, there is much, but much more of this sort of thing going on,
because the crafting subgame has a lot in common with strategy
games. Mines and factories are persistent objects, etc.

Nobody's talking about failure to scale; it's really about the PRICE
of scaling.
