As I outlined earlier, free servers are free. This is why they're popular, with staff as well as players.

Are you sure that's how the phone system will work? After all, the servers are across the globe - some in France, some in the US. I thought they just credited the normal charges to your phone bill or something.
International calls are still charged at extortionate rates. And as far as I know being charged -$6.54 for a call is not possible on the fantastic UK telephone networks.

That is what they're doing. The thing with not saving data to the server.
I meant just applying this idea to the current p2p system. Like, five minutes of G2K1 a day, before being kicked off. Sorry if that was unclear to anybody. After all, if more money is needed, why not tempt people rather than force 'em? Human beings resent being made to do things. If you have the choice you're more attracted to something. Example: which would you rather do, climb down a hole or be pushed?
