Arena server called shard?

Where'd/how'd this name form from?

It's super confusing because I keep thinking of character shards!

It's actually the more technically correct term. A shard is a data partition of the server. There's no way anyone would have as many physical servers as there are shards.

Thx. I was going to ask the same thing but I once asked what shart meant and was given a demonstration and am now permanently scarred for life so I decided to let someone ask.
