Hi,
I am just curious if a popular MMORGP game, the server hardware needs to have large storage capacity on host? Or data saving are always stored on remoted storage sever?

It depends entirely on the game server architecture. I would imagine that all extremely large MMOGs keep their persistent data on a separate set of servers from the game servers, just for modularity and reliability reasons. However, some working set of data is likely kept locally for performance.
