Problem: Given a reasonably active player, pretty soion the client would
end up with a full copy of the server's image DB. This could get *really*
expensive *really* quickly. Even doing the Meridian 59 deal and dropping
the local cache on CD still leaves you with a remarkably small world once
the detail rate is fairly high.
