Hi JTxt, This is a fantastic idea for resource saving. Also streaming all the data to the clients, while possible with PubNub slows down the clients as they are busy downloading the streams from all player movements on the screen. Would you be able to work with us and coordinate a way to work this? Here is the starting line to segregate channel data - https://github.com/pubnub/pubnub-xkcd/blob/master/network.js... see the "xkcd2" at the end. This is the CHANNEL ID. You can take that and change it based on the Region of the world. You can even use the names of the world splices such as http://www.pubnub.com/static/pubnub-xkcd/images/1n1e.png - 1n1e "1 north 1 east". So the channel name would be "1n1e".

Hi JTxt! Yes this is possible! Just update the channel value in this line here from "/xkcd" to "/whatever_you_want" and you can take on new parallel worlds. The source code is here that you need to change: https://github.com/pubnub/pubnub-xkcd/blob/master/network.js...

From what I understand, PubNub provides servers around the world who take care of the heavy lifting and all you have to do is deal with publishing / subscribing messages. So there are servers, you just don't run any yourself and it is all abstracted away by their API. What they did, in this case, is mock the WebSocket interface (so that they didn't need to rewrite the whole original app) and make it use the PubNub API internally.
