Thank you for your review on the benefits of semilegitimate servers. If you should host one, I'm sure people would join it.
Quick point: There have been 100 players on a single server. It's possible. We won't have 2000 on a single server. It would take gigs upon gigs of RAM and a serious pipeline to handle. Aiming to please 20 people at a time is a good aim. Let's not aim to conquer SOE. I don't know anyone with enough cash to host that kind of server all the time.
We're small-time people on a small-time project with small-time dreams. Until we hit the big-time, it's nice to have a little pet project. I doubt everyone is hosting a forum because it's necessary. I think many are hosting it to see what they're capable of. Basically, it's all for fun.
