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.
