Tyhm has a spectacular aura about
Ideal setup:
PW Manager is paid 10% of ((average # of players on PW/average # of players total)*monthly profits).
10% of the monthly profits go towards the PW Managers. It is split based on how many paying customers are spending time on their world.
So, if UN has (on average) 100 players, Classic has 90, and G2K2 and G2K1 together only have 60 (or we might exclude them altogether), Un gets (100/250)*10%, Classic gets (90/250)*10%, and G2K1 and G2K2's share goes back to the admins. It won't be much - maybe ten bucks - but over time it's enough to cover your subscription. As Graal improves, so does your profit margin. If you have an awesome PW, you can afford to pay your LAT Admin 25% of your profits, your GP Chief 25%...

The 10% of the net, I dunno if Unixmad would go for that. If things get desperate, if the talent suck continues the way it's been going, maybe. Maybe he could take a 5% reduction in profits to make for happy managers. Either way it's gonna be messy, there's gonna be corrupt PWs with a gazillion bots - but if said bots are globally banned, hey, that's $15 a bot account, profit.
