Server-side maps

Hello all.
I am new to tmw but I am contemplating bringing trying to convince myself and handful of people to come join this project. Currently we are trying to create an emulator for a not-so-well-known MMORPG but with little progress.
One of the major differences I can see initially, and correct me if I am wrong, but is the fact that all the maps are stored statically with the client data files. Is that true? On this other MMORPG, they have a very unique system which we labeled "mapsend" which sends the map tiles as they are exploring. This gives the GMs the ability to create new maps on the fly and push them out to users without the need of an update utility or something.
I think I have some of the code related to how this is done. Has this ever been discussed and is there any interest in this ability?
