Terrain data is in my opinion static. It could be distributed on 
geographical servers--in the sense of: one server manages one (or more) 
parts of the world-- or copied on all servers, or stay on a dedicated 
server. The players positions (and players objects in a whole) are 
typically dynamic data and we should consider that players should not 
meet all others at a given time. So, now, there are many maners to 
manage these players: the one you described, am I wrong? (I think I'm 
not able to go more forward, unfortunately :-( )

Are you opposing asymetric and synchronous? So that we can recall 
synchronous "symetric" or asymetric "asynchronous"? I'm not sure to 
understand...
