I seriously doubt most servers will be normal gaming PCs as I expect most servers to be located in data centers.

Considering you said that you're expecting most of them to be runned by community and unless we suddenly became able to afford a server itself (around $4000 for mid-powered one) and a data center colocation (around $200 per month), that prediction just cannot be true. Buying a gaming PC to use it daily can be reasonable, but buying same-priced device and paying monthly subscription fee 13 times more expensive than WoW to run just one game is out of question for the majority. If ordinary gaming PC is not be able to handle game server, we will have 4-5 hosts, and, as a side effects:

Little to no modding - no server for mod will make it unusable, so modding will be limited to server owners or ones who can convince them to use their mod.

No mod stacking - server owners will try to keep additional setup packages as easy and small as possible, so we'll not see big, game-transforming mod packages like BO full set + 4DC + TM + TVg in SCFA.

Possible reduce of playerbase - sitting in spectate mode and waiting for the next match to join game is not very motivating.

Your pricing is way off on renting servers. Regardless we will run enough servers if the community doesn't.

There is nothing stopping you from running a server. I want people to run servers.

Not specifically about offline mode or anything, but I highlighted what I though was the most useful in red. This is quite old, but it shows Neutrino "Wants people to run servers".

Not that there was any doubt in my mind, but cool none the less.

People seem so ready to criticise these days.

If i don't get what I want, when I want it I'm gonna try and ruin it for everyone else....

That not a direct criticism of any one here, just a general observation of the way things seem to be going.....alas
