Isn't it time to find out what lies in the future for the servers?

I don’t think you realize that this is what these people find fun. It’s not about RMT.

Oh rogean told you what he pays?

No, there are LOTS of EQemu servers. Info is out there.

then start one.

It doesn't matter what it costs, I have zero interest in running one. My point still stands: servers are cheap. Try google.

I googled it to silence the idiots (cd 288, et. all)

I mean if that were 100% true you’d have basically everyone in the top guilds banned every year for RMT yet that doesn’t happen. Pretty crazy that you’re here yet somehow have the inability to believe that there are people on this server who are just THAT addicted to and immersed in this game.

Oh so you did a ton of research to tell us that Rogean hasn’t ever told you how much it costs him to run P99? Solid post

[Trexller]

Every few months this topic comes up, and nobody ever remembers:

Rogean doesn't just own P99, he owns EQEMU. He makes money off of ALL the servers by donations to EQEMU, and P99 donations.

Rogean isn't just P99, Rogean is ALL OF THE EMULATORS except for TAKP which does not use EQEMU. (TAKP really isn't an emulator, its the actual legit Mac client, and therefore the most accurate.)

chances are he had connections to verant/soe back in the day, i mean who would really let some strange random person use their IP for free?

Why was P99 allowed to continue, when the eqclassic.org project (which started years before P99), was nailed with cease and desist orders from SOE?

Think people, THINK.

Saying it doesn't cost a lot to run a game server with 1000+ people on it is silly..

You can get the hardware to run a p99 for under $1k. My eqarchives indexer box could probably do it if I set up raid storage. I'm guessing that's going to be the biggest expense/maintenance issue. Right now I just do a weekly Google drive backup of the VM image.

Sorry your brain doesn't work and you don't know how to abstract or extrapolate.

Or, just too proud to admit you were wrong [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Probably the second [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thank you for continuing to confirm that you have no knowledge of what Rogean pays!

See above facts. We know approximately what Rogean pays. We don't need to know exactly, because that isn't even the question, fool.

The question is "What does one need to pay to run a server?" Rogean will be +/- that number within a small range. If he already has hardware, he may pay very little or nothing.

We have answered that question. You lose. Nice try. Sorry you can't BS away the obvious fact you put your foot in your esophagus.
