ShardKind

enum

Live/Vixen.Live.Abstractions/ShardKey.cs:87

csharp

public enum ShardKind

One mechanism, four configurations. Doc 27 § Shard kinds.

Remarks

All four are the same shard with the same lifecycle; they differ in who is admitted and when the shard is allowed to stop. Modelling them as one type with a discriminator rather than as four subsystems is what makes a dungeon a placement decision instead of a second server.

Fields and properties (4)

Public
Anyone may be placed here, and it lives while it is populated. The megaserver case.
Instance
An access list — a party, a guild, a raid roster — and a lifetime tied to the group.
Match
A matchmaker's roster, for exactly one match.
Persistent
An owner and their permissions: housing, a guild hall. Hibernated when empty and rehydrated on entry, which is nearly free because its authored state is durable rather than volatile (ADR-021).
