My theory is that "hidden forbidden holy ground" used to be much bigger when it was a root town. When they stopped using it, they probably lopped off everything except for the chaos gate and the main chapel. They might've done this to save on bandwidth since it would could helluva lot of money to support many root towns.

What is bandwith?

Bandwidth is (in this case) the capacity of an Internet connection. For example, a modem can usually download at 40-50Kbps nowadays, DSL is usually between 256 and 6,000Kbps, and an enterprise Internet connection can be...much larger.

I actually met the lead system admin for City of Heroes the other day, and they're using some insanely huge amount of bandwidth, close to 10Gbps (10,000,000Kbps). That's an awful lot of money right there.

That would be because I've been running a (small, granted) Web hosting company since 1997, and doing other work in the ISP/computing industry besides. ^_^

Not really. ^_^ Our servers are in the same data center, and we happened to both be doing maintenance at the same time. (But this is getting off-topic...)
