Damn,
Did you guys see the prices of the SCI rental servers.. For 20 player slots it's $8.00 x number of players you want to host.

They have about 100 or so servers on line at the moment, and each one is hosting approx 18 people

@144.00 per month x 100 servers = $14,440 a month or approx 173k per year.

Depending on their overhead, wonder what the profit margins are?

(with those prices per month, guess Ace ain't renting no server to play a game on :anim_kil: ))

I should start a game hosting server company (be like Everquest, they rake in about 2 mil per month)

No,
That means that if someone wanted to rent a server, it means ;

If you wanted to have a server that could host 24 people it would cost the person that is renting the server $192.00 per month.

So if I wanted to rent a server from SCI, it would cost me 192.00 per month.
