Sorry to be nitpicking, but EVE is not run on a single server; it's being run as a single shard environment, that consists of many hundreds of servers - which is still a remarkable feat!

Hi Sered -- I was just referring to 'single server' in terms of the game's setting, rather than the number of servers powering New Eden.

I'm not sure if you've read this yet, but Brendan Drain (one of our columnists) wrote a piece on EVE's server model which was very well-received:
