Using Shards to Create Larger Worlds

This all seems very interesting.  A question though to those in the know.

Would it theoretically be possible for a organized group of players to creating linked shards to represent much larger worlds?  The example I am thinking of is a project to recreate the continent of Westeros from Game of Thrones.   I wonder if two or three hundred like-minded people, under the oversight of some sort of leadership council to coordinate things.  You would end up with 200-300 "shards" with geography and content consistent with locations in the Game of Thrones that could be run role-play style, including arranged mass battles.   

Thoughts?

    That is a great question.  Curious as to the answer as well.

    i really hope the dev are reading this, i am so sad that each shards only fits 64 players,

    why not make it 1000 cap limit? its so much better knowing that there are so many players other than you in a single shard world.

    please please please expand the cap, even 500 per shard is good enough. but not 64. dont make this a MO :((

    So What Now?

    Thank you Blueturtle13 that is awesome!  So basically, it would be possible for a coordinated effort by a lot of like-minded players to basically make the shards into what we would consider "zones" in a larger MMO world.  It would be a lot of work, but it would be a labor of love and I hope the game developers tout this possibility by ensuring the tool sets facilitate this sort of thing.

    thanks for the vid, it's good to know what the cluster would do, so basically if 1 cluster consist of 50 shards ( and considering that they will eventually expand limit of 256 per shard )

    which means 50*256 = 12800 players in a 1 cluster. 

    now i hope that there would be 1 cluster where every founder of a shard or 2 would just link their shard to that 1 chunk of connected shards ( clusters ) just to make it the biggest cluster available!

    So What Now?
