Question, what does that .dat file represent?
I thought it contained all the gaming files such as video and music, but I guess I'm wrong since everybody's one is different.

It does, but some people dont go to updated areas, or used the downloadable 70k client like I did.

You get the base dat file during the install. Then when you first enter a new area/town, it then dynamically loads the code into the dat. Therefore the size will depend on how many places you have visited.

1,049,297 kb and 1,074,966 kb.

The second number is my second account which i have installed in a different folder. It is my least played account but it is my main storage account, which is why it's larger.

I don't PvP so don't have any of the updated PvP maps.
I also have never been to SF or GF so don't have any of the files from those area's either.
