Hosting.

Ok we know PS will be a BIG hit when its released which means the game will be bogged down big time. Now MMORPG\'s have many servers that can hold tons of people. So my question is how will the PS dev team be able to afford that kind of a computer?

Donations. And my guess is they will use multiple servers and not one mega server. MMORPGs work better with a \"hive mind\" instead of just a solitary machine.
Beware that I am distorted in my wording if you do not understand me at all.

Well yeah but even having a \"hive mind\" they will still need to be fairly large systems.

Supporting the Planeshift project makes you look very good to prospective clients.
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM
