Dragonosteel has a little shameless behaviour in the past
You all should just buy a bunch of gelats so he can afford better servers.

That is a pretty stupid reason, He doesn't really have to pay for those servers.. And if he does, He is stupid.

If people want to keep a server online they should pay for it theirselfs. All Stefan actually has to do is make nice big updates and let the PWA's do their job by letting them pick servers to go Gold/Classic/Hosted.

When the Owner/Manager of a server won't pay for it the server just goes down. Which would be a bad manager.
+ There could be a system where people can donate cash to a server. This way stefan still earns money and players can choose by themself which servers are online.

He actually does have to pay to run those servers which includes costs for electricity and bandwidth plus with the extra costs of upgrading the hardware and replacing broken components.

They can definitely afford adequate servers with the money they make.

I'm too lazy to check but the last time I ordered 6 months of a Playerworld, the cost was 56 dollars. I am only going to assume the price has gone up since then, so let's say it's 60 dollars for 6 months.

By running 10 Playerworlds on one machine, they are already breaking even.

Running any more playerworlds on the same machine results in a profit.

I believe a Gold account now runs for something like 50 dollars a year, meaning only 24 players would need to maintain a gold account to keep the Classic/Gold servers afloat.


All this said, I believe Graal is already running on adequate servers given the fact that it has the least downtime of any online game I've ever played before, but I do wonder if perhaps players are being gouged on accounts.

A 1/8th cabinet (enough to hold 1-2 servers usually) with a 512kbps uplink (barely enough to cover 30-50 people on one server) and 5 IPs costs $750/m with any decent co-location service.
CJ is probably paying around ~$1000/m just for Graal if I had to guess.
