A "hub" is a point, on the internet, controlled by Avalon but typically many thousands of miles from the actual game servers in Washington DC. They exist in an effort to offer alternatives, when parts of the internet may be lagged-up; by affording most users of the "hub" an alternate route from their home-location to the Avalon servers.
