That just means that you only run one server, not a server farm. It is just a difference of scale.
Comparing any game to a MMORPG is a mistake because they are built around an entirely different marketing base. MMORPG, pay as you play. Other games, buy it once (or thrice in the case of certain disreputable companies *cough* civ3 *cough*). It is better to compare to the large majority of games/companies that provide MP servers without charging for them.

Except that most of these companies -don't- provide servers, they provide matchmaking services. IIRC even Blizzard's Battle.net is like this except for the Realms games for Diablo 2. This reduces the strain quite a lot..
And the comparison is relevent because someone else was refering to the pay by the month scheme..
Ok. Fix up the TCP/IP mode and provide a match-makign service.  In addition to the PBW-like functionality. I am sure that Shrapnel would be able to afford it for SE5... |

Re: PBW server is back up.
Geo's provider has gained my special award of worst ISP I've run into. I understand the reasons that make Geo stay with that ISP, but I also understand how they can make good commercial offer if they are so cheap on service quality.

Re: PBW server is back up.
So what's the latest update, Geo? Is this going to be another 30 day hiatus, or what?
