However, one thing I don't get is how you manage to prevent/avoid deadlocks on the SQL Server? Can you share some good reliable ways to do it? Please?

I'm linking to it in the GameSpy newsletter. I'm surprised you didn't mention hard-drive space issues as one of the limiting factors. Personally, I think that a hit console MMO is inevitable. We'll someday have a "Halo Event," a game so huge that it introduces a whole new audience to this type of game. In hindsight, these problems will seem trivial or the answers obvious. But someone has to break down those walls. Great piece! I’m linking to it in the GameSpy newsletter.
