[GD-General] MMOG Terrain Storage

[Tyler O. <Xa...@ho...>]

Can anyone give me a definite answer on what massively multiplayer
online games use to store their terrains?  Do they use standard
heightmaps?

The reason I chose MMOGs is because of the massive size of the terrain.
Most MMOGs are made up of entire continents.  That seems like a lot of
data to store.

Thanks,
Tyler
