Yes I just thought it was a nice coincidence with Lasse's post on the dev list only moments earlier. As Toni said the server side hasn't really been tested in grid mode, Mikko Pallari probably knows the situation best. Unfortunately I would of course like to see the Naali viewer used as much as possible and there the grid mode (or any multiregion implementation) would still require a bit of work. The current development companies haven't been very interested in multiregion mode, so I think this would be a very good place for someone to step in and help a bit.
