The problem is the Database connection. Each server who starts up zones wants to read whole tables from the MySQL DB. This can take extremely long on a slow connection. And the traffic between the zones and the MySQL DB dont stop after startup. So the uplink probably would be also clogged with traffic to the remote database.

Since different zones would be hosted on different servers, servers could use their own database. The problem would be on how to keep the players data up to date on all the servers, which doesn't sound too hard.
