That is a completely different problem that is mostly bottlenecked by bandwidth and not CPU time. Every players data has to be sent to every other player. This requires a CDN like architecture to increase bandwidth.

Sure you need fast tick updates for dynamic models right in front of you, but something ~100 virtual meters away? can at least halve it, 500m maybe even 1/10 will suffice.
