Title: Cost of Running a Server
Post by: phimtau123 on March 06, 2008, 02:40:38 am
Hello,
 
I'm a student at Oregon State University. I am currently doing a research project on PVP servers. Part of my focus is the business side and the relative cost of PVP servers. As I'm very unfamiliar with such issue and search using search engine have come up empty. I was wondering if some web admin can help me with some figure that associate with running a gaming server.

If not is there a site that would contain such information? 
 
Thank you for your time and have a good day

Haha, Offtopic, But I'm going to PSU next year. Good State!

Ontopic:

I know theres a Site which tracks Finnancial costs of almost everything. I forget the URL though. Someone here hopefully has it.
(I know my Teacher used it in Econ Classes)

Don't do it.

You can and will not succeed in the RO PServer market today.

Plain and simple.

Also be prepared to dish out tons of money when your players don't want to donate.

DON'T DO IT.

Justin is surviving in the RO server market. Infact, I think it's his sole income, IIRC.

He's not planning to run a server. He's just asking how much it cost to run one for his project.
