Methinks if there ought to be a squeeze, it ought to be the low-traffic playerworlds. They're the ones hogging the bandwidth - but you can't ask them to pay their annual subscription, partly because you've already asked the entire staff to pay (which I take exception to, but that's another story), and partly because "They're content! We can't throw away content!"

This isn't a new problem. Say LordChimp was in charge of baddies, hypothetically. Say he decided not to send any money to France because it goes against his political ideology, to put it politely. Then what happens? Do we let his second in command pay on behalf of the guild? Does that make the second in command the leader? What about someone not even in the guild, can they pay? Do they become guild leader? What if nobody's allowed to pay For Chimpy, so Baddies is suspended? Does it fall to whoever's first in line with cash in hand to form the new Baddies guild, regardless of whether they were a former Baddies officer or if they just want to sit on the guild tag and make sure their own guild runs unopposed?

Same with playerworlds. If, I dunno, Tyne's in charge of Kharlia and doesn't pay (or bring enough players in to cover costs), is his server suspended? Can his LAT Admin register his own world and recycle the material he made for Kharlia onto Valkorlia? What if Tyne scrapes the money together a month later, is Valkorlia suspended?

Mo money, mo problems.
