I'm glad to see that you understand the need for a monthly fee. I just wanted to point out also that the fee goes toward a lot more than playing on a server with 1000 other players, although that is one of the chief features. We really are providing a range of valuable features for the fee.
Paying the fee allows us to maintain the servers with a professional staff, 24/7. It provides layers of security and plugs the network vulnerabilities that playing on a private server may create. It frees you up from the majority of the cheating issues and/or arbitrary sysadmin rules that you may see on a private server. It pays for a continuous staff of developers to add content and features, as well as address gameplay and technical issues. Customer service is also included in that fee. So we're able to offer a lot more than a private server and that does cost some money.

Technical details are always changing, as we try to further optimize the game, so I can't specify what the optimal configuration would be.

He forgot to mention it pays for his morgage

Just double the min reqs they have posted, and you have an ideal PS computer. Ok fine you dont need to double, but still, just beat the min reqs.

If, Like everquest, 400,000+ people subscribe, then thats $4,000,000+ a month. Way more then enough to pay for servers.

They probabaly have a raffle to see whos morgage gets payed off that month.
