what if this game evolved into having dedicated servers?

think of it. PGI could still have their premium player and micro-transaction money rolling in, but they could also have uber $ coming in from those die-hard players wanting to ACTUALLY control a house's actions. amazing potential there if you ask me...which you arent :-)

you could have a price point of $1000/month for a server. That cost is ultimatley one real life person's responsibility, but could easily be offset by 80% as there are FIVE houses to 'assign' leadership to (each could be 'charged' 20% of the monthly cost)..not to mention the Clan invasion possibilities and the number of Khans ( i think thats what each clan leader is called anyway ) the house leader would then in turn receive $ from faction players to keep everything going. it could really be a community hosting a server for their own RPing purposes

the upside is PLAYERS would be able to control their environment/universe. guilds/clans that have been together for years could shape (or attempt to) their stories..i mean its complete uber-geekdom.

a persistant world, perpetualy changing based off RL decisions on troop deployments/alliances/planets to fight over...MmMmMmMmMmmmm, toasty.
