“Ultima Online servers have been referred to as “shards” for a long time. The reason for this was the lore behind the original Ultima Online. In that game, the wizard Mondain bound the world of Sosaria into a crystal orb in order to magically control its destiny. When the Avatar defeated Mondain, the orb was shattered into “shards”, each of which contained a perfect copy of Sosaria that continued to exist in parallel. These shards represented the individual servers of the game world.” –UO Trivia
