[game_preservation] Masses of Everquest 2 data passed along to researchers

[Devin Monnens]

60TB is a LOT of data. I'm interested in how SOE stored all of that and the
logistics of the transfer. Would magnetic tape have been the easiest?
Otherwise you're looking at 60 1TB drives.

However, in 10 years, there will probably be technology that allows us to
store that much on a single device.
