Supreme you know that you are looking at a MINIMUM of 3-5k to just get started right?
You want reasons, how bout I give you 10 reasons to absolve your retardedness...
1)Community Fracture
2)Hosting costs
3)Hardware costs
4)Emergency Maintenance
5)Data Maintenance
6)Smaller player pool for each server - and good luck with maintaining costs while building a consistent playerbase willing to donate
7)Donations rolling in on TWO servers is sure to raise some eyebrows
8)More of the same horseshit once populations stabilize (you've not fixed a DAMN thing)
9)GMs/Guides (there is enough work here already)
10)People solving problems by throwing money at social issues deserve to be shot. (Yes put that skinny $%^& out on the white house lawn and put one in the back of his head...)
I'll bet if I really thought about it, I can do ten more, but I winged it.
I understand you want to do your own thing, what are you proposing, the devs hand over a copy and let you do your thing with it? Oh hells no... Proposing to pay them for it won't go over well at all either, and again, eyebrows will start going up. I already know their is some chatter going on over at SOE's EQLive team office regarding this server, we may not want to push it... Before anyone starts flapping their jack about how "SOE can't do anything" they had better start doing some research.
