Entity (container)

Entities are the container which represents a player character.

Storage and ownership

They are persisted in the dbserver database, but depending on the state of login sessions, might be owned by dbserver or a MapServer. When an entity is loaded onto a MapServer, dbserver sends the current copy of the entity to the MapServer, and locks it to that MapServer connection. The entity is then owned by the MapServer until it is unlocked (when the character leaves the map) or the connection is lost. While an entity is owned by a MapServer, the only up-to-date copy of the entity is in ram of the MapServer, which will send updates back to dbserver for persistance to the database, but does not wait for responses.

If a MapServer connection is lost without sending back entities, data will be lost, and users will experience a rollback to the last point where a copy of the entity was successfully persisted.
