Dunno if this has been mentioned, but inferno now uses the night-time RK sky texture, complete with stars and planets. Is this supposed to have some kind of storyline clues, or did the devs just like the way it looked?

maybe it was a byproduct of the devs removing the lag

That's an interesting observation. I can't remember if it has always been like that, or if anyone mentioned it here, but I do know that Shadowlands were originally part of Rubi-Ka before being torn away in the cataclysm. There are hints that SL is 'caught in the past' so to speak, but I don't know if that would explain them taking the stars with them to wherever it is that SL actually is now.
It wouldn't surprise me if the devs just 'cut & pasted' RK's stars into SL for simplicity sake, but I would be surprised if larger, more easily recognizable objects like planets would be unintentionally done in the same manner without some type of yet-to-be-revealed story ties in the background.
Happy reading if you haven't seen the pand backstory thread before. Good stuff for story lovers.

Knowing how FC deals with issues I'd rather take the "sloppy devs" explanation then "ZOMG new story line development"
