You'll need to specify in more detail what you mean by accuracy. I assume that "accuracy" relates to the workflow(s) in progress, that is, the state of each state machine. Personally, I would at least write a continous log of each state change of each machine to be able to easily replay/restore a crashed session. Personally, I'm really fond of pushing the problem of keeping (shared) state to a database, so I would at least store the state and possibly also the log of the transition(s) of each state machine in database tables.
One system that sounds a bit like what you're doing is Deliantra, a MORPG written by Marc Lehmann, the author of AnyEvent (among other things). I think it supports a fairly large number of clients and think its overall architecture is likely worth investigating.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
