Ah, I misread "I am just interested in playing it right now" and was too lazy to read over the whole thread.
Android is built on Java, an interpreted language, running on a flavor of Linux. It's good for general purpose applications, but not for complex, performance-important, memory-consuming, database-crunching, file-system-thrashing server applications.
If you have a job where you can waste away work hours in a game (you bastard), and you don't want to use existing servers or run a server from your home network over the internet, you'd need to install the server on a work machine you can connect to, likely the one you'd be playing on.
You could only do that if IT gave you admin rights to install software like MySQL, PHP, Perl, etc., of course.
