Uhm regarding hacking it seems the server does some checks to see that the client/servers clocks don't differ that much. And I guess for movement the clients sends its direction/speed/current position/client time when a movement key is pressed to the server -> server converts client time to server time as best as it can -> and I GUESS then that the client of another player, when it receives that packet. Will also check the time it took from the server to that client. And interpolate/render the character then in the right place. Making sure that the game looks ok when people with differnt pings play together while not having to send a position packet 60x per second from the client (like FPS games).

wow client sends a movement packet on every direction change, and every 500ms if moving in the same direction

Just trying to figure out how the movements are kept in sync when only packets are send on direction change (and every 500ms apparently)

I am only familiar with the "send 60x position packets per second from client to server" approach

movement packets contain not only position but also flags that determine movement direction (forward/backward/strafe)
