Remarks

A party exists on one world server and nowhere else. Characters are global — the same character can be played on any world server, deliberately, so that friends can play together wherever they are — but a party spans scene servers by being replicated through the database, and that replication is scoped to a world server. A party whose members were spread across two of them would be updated by pumps that cannot see each other, invited to instances that do not exist on the other side, and shown rosters that never converge.

So this is the column that lets a character's party membership be dropped when they arrive on a different world server, rather than being carried into one where it cannot work.
